No Rest for the Weary

I was up all last night with He Who Refuses to Sleep. His inability or lack of desire to sleep for longer than three hours at night is killing me. That’s simply all there is to it.

I like to play a fun game while I’m up with him. I look at his sweet baby face and think that in about 15 years his upper lip and chin will start sprouting facial hair. Then I imagine him with a mustache. And a full beard. Sometimes just a goatee.

Wanna play? Go ahead. Here’s a picture so you can visualize better:

If you didn’t find that wildly entertaining, I invite you to try again at about 3:30 a.m. I’ve found the game works best at about that time.

And hey, while you’re up, want to come over and man a shift for me?

We started off with the bird show. The girls LOVED the talking parrots. Can you spot the bird?

The bird show exits right by the carousel. Upon seeing the carousel, Brooke was bound and determined to have a ride. We splurged:

The zoo had moving, roaring dinosaurs scattered throughout the park:

What was the girls’ reaction to the dinosaurs? Pure terror:

Spencer’s animal encounter:

The day before we went to the zoo Brooke drew pictures of several of the animals she hoped to see. She insisted we bring them with us because she wanted to show the animals. This is her tiger:

Can you guess this one? It’s a giraffe. Brooke’s a little abstract at times:

The girls couldn’t take their eyes off of the giraffe. Not even for a picture. It’s okay. I’m sure one day I’ll want to remember what the back of their heads looked like:
