First we had a special breakfast at Starbucks (oh, rewind she and I both slept in till just before 8! Rock on!). After I was caffeinated and she had her coffee cake and chocolate milk we went to the zoo. Good thing we got there a little before they opened and we are members because it was CRAZY busy! Beside seeing the baby giraffe, baby organutuan, and the baby snakes (we learned a new word today, venomous) we saw a new baby animal at the zoo...baby billy goats gruff. Technically I'm not exactly sure what animal it was, but there were three babies and the male adults had hoofs and horns. They were adorable.
Tough to see in the photo above. They had all sat down to rest and were camouflaged (no, not a new word to Ellie but she did use it quite a bit today). When they were up and running around I was too busy watching to take a photo.
She picked her outfit out herself. I told her her long sleeves and the uggs would make her hot. But she was stubborn and said she wouldn't cry if she got hot. She did complain that she was hot and said next time she wouldn't wear uggs if I said it was hot outside (score!). We had a picnic lunch at the zoo and then played on the playground for a while.
We then came home and took a rest. Ellie napped in the car and insisted she wasn't tired, but she played quietly in her room for 90 minutes so I had a little rest myself. Nick was home when we got home but he took his nap too.
Then Ellie and I headed to the mall which was also CRAZY busy. We were in a quest for shoes which weren't too tight, comfy like uggs, and didn't have Velcro. We found a pair of Clark's (kid has expansive taste clarks and uggs!?!) for kids and Vans. She said she liked them both, so well see. We also had a snack of mini baguettes at the mall.
It was a good day. Ellie was an absolute delight. And despite being hot in her uggs, she didn't cry or have a meltdown. She did eat all day...the girl kept complaining she was hungry. Maybe a growth spurt?
