[From Mimi Bogle:]
I THOUGHT we would go to the library again but you guessed it, Lily wanted to go and feed the giraffes, who were anxiously waiting for her to come and feed them. So I did what every grandparent would do, I indulged and we happily went again. Lily is so into feeding animals, baby dolls, statues and anything with a mouth. (Who knows maybe Lily will be a famous chief with her quirky lip smacking sounds– all celebrity chiefs seem to have some kind of eccentric motion or saying associated with them.) As did Michael, she never seemed to lose interest in going there. As soon as she got up she would talk about the giraffes at the zoo and ask me “feed” with her hand motions. When I asked her what the giraffes ate she would tell me lettuce. I of course just beamed. What a memory!!! It was a beautiful day with endless things to do and see. This time we spent more time in other exhibits and enjoyed going thru the wallabies and of course she wanted to hug and hold them. Her little hand motions caught the attention of everyone around us and they also enjoyed her sweetness. I of course just beamed with pride. We went home (or as Lily would say homo). After naptime, we went to a friend’s house that had her grandchild (almost 2 1/2) and they played outside with a bucket of water and cups just running, laughing and playing. OF COURSE I FORGOT MY CAMERA. BOOOOOOOO MIMI!!!!
