Joli and I met some friends at the Wild Animal Park today. My main intention was to see the butterfly exhibit, but the line was so huge that we didn't get to. Joli had a great time though. Besides running full speed ahead, I think her favorite thing was the Fisher Price play area. There were some stone animals to play on. Her favorite was the centipede because she could get on it herself. Unfortunately none of those pictures turned out. She also had me put her on top of the turtle.
Then she decided that the head was a better place to ride.
After she was done with the giant animals, Joli discovered the playground. Although she wasn't quite big enough to climb all the way to the top, I was right behind her to help. Once I would get her up the ladder part, I had to hurry and get up myself before she went head first down the slide.
She was a little tuckered after all that running, climbing, and sliding; so she rode in the stoller for a while.
We ended up leaving not too long after that. The kids were tired and so were we. Joli slept all the way, but of course woke up as soon as I got her to her crib. Her newest accomplishment is to climb onto chairs. Which means I have to once again, move things higher. She was very pleased with herself that she could climb up and start coloring all by herself.
Despite several reminders to sit on her bottom, she seemed to forget every few minutes. Eventually she was helped down and escorted to the living room.
After a few minutes there was some unspoken agreement about sitting in the chair, and she was aloud back at the table.
Obviously I take too many pictures when my child starts "working" the camera.
After another minute or so Joli realized she could carry several crayons in her hands, and I had to remind her that we only use crayons at the table. I suppose rebellion is also inherited.
