Trip to the Zoo

Martin and I took all of the girls for a fun day at the zoo today (along with half of Baton Rouge...very crowded, but a real good time for us all!) Elise's favorite were the little tiny deer-like animals (they were called Dik Dik)...it was so cute...she kept putting her hands together and giggling while she was saying something...I think I figured out that she was trying to talk about how they were so "little." She also liked immitating the sheep in the petting zoo...as long as we didn't get too close. Audrey was excited about many of the animals, though she really enjoyed being hands on...petting zoo and feeding the giraffes. Of course, when we asked her favorite part...she said, "the playground." Lydia was just laid back...strolling...along for the ride. We all had a super time, and they've crashed hard tonight. :)

A cute story:
We were a little behind schedule tonight, so I was thinking of skipping Lydia's massage...I was ready to change her into pajamas and feed her. But, as soon as I got her clothes off of her on the changing pad, she started smiling and cackling...I knew she was anticipating the massage to be next. Of course, I couldn't skip it then! She loved it, as always! She is just not so sure of the new strokes that we learned at the last class: the back and the face. She doesn't like to be on her tummy, so she gets a little upset about that to do her back. Then, she has a real problem with her face...I think she doesn't like me in "her space." I'm going to continue to try to ease her into it, but I won't force it...it is supposed to be relaxing for her...and me...it's one of my most enjoyable moments of each day. :)

Please don't forget to remember Lydia tomorrow for her blood test...it should be a little before noon. It is really important that she doesn't get too upset during the test because it could affect the results. Please pray that it goes smoothly. THANK YOU!
