This week we had an unsuccessful church visit. Both kids conspired to wiggle and fuss the whole time so we left early, frustrated. But last week, while Chris was at sea, I took both kids by myself with somewhat more success. We got there late and had to leave early, but Isaac even listened to the sermon (exclaiming to me in an excited whisper: “The FUTURE?! He said future, like the car!” Because Chris had made us watch Back to the Future a couple weeks before).
Anyway after church last week I loaded Eloise into the snuggly pack and she finally snoozed while isaac and i trotted around the zoo.
Eloise woke up and wanted to go home right around the time isaac was timing out because he couldn’t scramble his way onto the brass tortoise. Both kids crying = go home alarm.
I had thought we were meeting some friends there but we miscommunicated, so…
We went back with them the very next day! And rode the zoo train again! I asked isaac to feed $20 into the train token machine. ABSOLUTE TOT DELIGHT.
And with an audience of two pretty blond tots, whaddaya know? That kid conquered the brass beast in no time!
