Today, my little nephew and I went to "Boo at the Zoo". He had a great time, walking in the parade, riding the tram around the zoo, eating all the sugar he could get his hands on, looking at the poisonous snakes and piranha fish, but mostly playing with worms. We discovered a "worm race" whereby the kids extracted a favorite worm from a pile of dirt, and placed it on a race "place". My little darling rooted around and found about 8 worms, and balled them up in his fist. After the "race" and returning the used worms back to their dirt...I reminded him that he HAD to wash his hands with soap and water before doing anything else. He agreed to do so, as he ran his hands through his hair. Ugh!!! Guess that's what being a boy is all about! The weather was beautiful, and there were plenty of improvements...inclusive of a new merry-go-round. We agreed to return SOON, to see what we did not get to do today, and to see the Zoo Lights. His little prize for being SO cute and wonderful today was a stuffed rhino. It is good for me to be around "normal" kids. I work with so many "un-normal" kids, with SO many sad problems, that when I'm around the "normies" it seems unusual.
