As you can tell, Jack wasn't all that interested in the zebras.
He was fascinated by the meerkat. I love his little face in this picture (although there is something on our camera lens blurring the shot).
He also wasn't sure he wanted to participate in the brushing of the goats. He's a pretty cautious kid when it comes to new things.
We enjoyed our first family trip to the zoo today. It was a beautiful day so the zoo was actually pretty crowded. Jack was funny in that he wasn't all that interested in the animals - but mostly wanted to play in all the bushes and trees at the zoo and watch all the other little kids who were running around. Oh well...there were several animals that seemed to attract his attention. The birds and meerkat (is the plural of meerkat "meerkats"?) were some of his favorites and he also liked watching the sharks swimming in their aquarium. Hopefully soon I'll be able to download some better pictures taken by his Aunt Lainee (visiting on her Spring Break).
So, I don't often let Jack have ice cream, but we had such a fun day playing outside that I couldn't resist taking a break and having some dessert with my favorite little man. It didn't take him long to figure out how the Push Up worked.
Here is Jack taking some fashion advice from his father. I think his red shoes compliment this outfit nicely.
The before shot...He's looking a little unkempt
Here he still has no idea what's to come.
He was so serious (but very calm) during the actual "cut". They had a movie playing for him to watch but he was much more interested in watching his stylist work.
The finished product...although Daddy thinks the hairdresser went a little overboard with the gel. Doesn't he look so much older?
In case there was ever a question as to whether our son acted like a boy, just look at his hands (and his mouth). He loves the dirt and if he goes outside that is right where he heads.
