Took Thomas to the zoo today! It was cold but we walked around for an hour and looked at the animals. This is the greatest benefit to membership -- we can make these short visits and not feel like we have to stay for hours to get our entry fee's worth. He didn't care for the monkeys today, but did enjoy the enclosed area of the primates. With all the hard surfaces inside the exhibit, his babbling echoed which only made him want to babble more and louder. Poor monkeys, though I'm sure it wasn't the first time. We also enjoyed seeing the elephants close-up and watching the bats hang upside down in the bat caves.
I have been taking Thomas to storytimes at the local library since summer, but we hadn't actually spent time in the library itself. He has just started to show some interest in the books I read to him so I figured it was time to start making trips to the library for books. This afternoon we got him his very own library card and checked out three books to read at home. He enjoyed hanging out at the library -- he pulled books off shelves, watched the other children who came and went, and babbled loudly. The library has a nice selection of board books for infants and a great little corner with a small table and chairs just for these smallest of library patrons.
