Dearest JJ,
I love going to the zoo with you. It is great fun to watch you running around in the fountain, sitting on the spouts and waiting for them to soak you. It has been very hot recently and it is literally one of the coolest places around here. The other thing I love is walking up to visit the farm animals with you. I wish I had time to keep chickens at my house but visiting them at the zoo is almost as good. It is alot less work for me, too! last night I talked to your Dad about the pink radio flyer trike. I told him how interested in it you are and that you could keep it at my house or garage so your apartment would not be too crowded. And he said YES! So I am putting that trike on my "list of things to do with JJ". Maybe we can do it next week. I am going to let you ride it in the house just like your Dad and Auntie used to do with their roller skates. You really can have fun if you look for it. Life is not just about picking up your toys and taking naps., although those things are pretty great, too. I dont know if we can take it to the zoo, but wouldn't that be fun: riding your trike out to the farm animals. Good exercise for both of us. Remember last time? We went to the butterfly exhibit for the first time and you sat down on the edge of the bridge to look at the information identifying each type of creature. Then you fell backwards into the muddy little stream and got soaked. I picked you out and held you close to comfort you and let you know you were safe. The I was soaking wet, too! But I didn't have extra clothes in the stroller, like you did. That's when you know it's probably time to head home for a shower and clean dry clothes. By the time we stopped at the McDonalds by the Outlet stores you were fast asleep. Can't wait to take you back next week,
Love, Nana
