Wow, look at me go with this blogging thing. Is this what happens? You start and then can't stop. No, sorry, I think I will still be lame and have big pauses in between each post.
A few days ago we went to the zoo in Ft. Worth (the boys and I). Kaden loves the monkeys, especially the Chimpanzees, we have spent hours watching them play, waiting for the baby Chimp to be born, giving them our own names and making up stories about them as though they are really people etc. This visit we noticed some excrement on the window and I had to explain how monkeys are unlike people in that they do things that we would consider gross, ie. playing with their poop. This seemed to rock Kaden's world, he couldn't believe that his beloved friends would do something like this. While the poor boy was trying to deal with this shift in reality, our favorite Chimp 'Maynard' decided to hurl some poop right at the window where it splatted right at Kade's face. Kade let out a high pitched shriek and then ran to hide near the gorillas, and then thought they might throw poop at him as well and insisted upon leaving the Monkey house immediately. We ran out with him shaking and shouting "that is not nice Maynard! I not throw poop at you! I never coming back!" Ever since then, a few times a day, he'll turn to me with a confused look on his face and say "Mom monkey's throw poo.". Anyway, here is a photo of him feeding birds (my attempt to get his mind off Maynard's betrayal).
