Yeah...I swear I lived...
Ronan and I had a wonderful "Mar Mar and Roo" day before I left Portland: a day at the zoo! It's been a tradition since Noam was this age to go to the zoo, now I started the tradition with Ronan.
He clutched our tickets as we made our way along the paths. Every time he saw a duck he would quack, when were at the petting zoo he learned that goats go "bahhhhh," and the cutest bit might have been when we got to the cheetahs. His reaction was as great as Noam's two years ago - an O'Glasser favorite for sure.
He walked the majority of the zoo, pointing out the animals, rocks, and water he saw all along the way. He loved every moment of it, jumping, clapping, babbling all the way through the zoo. And I loved every moment of it, right along side him!
Ronan's joy and enthusiasm is just beyond contagious and it was the first of many, many special days together, for sure.
