This is what Holland looks like

I posted it in a friend's journal in a comment page, but I'm posting it here, as well.



He and I went to the zoo today. Of the animals, he found the elephants and rhinos pretty exciting (much clapping and kicking and swaying), not not really much more exciting than grabbing daddy's head or watching sparrows fly by. He LOVES the monkey house, but not really because of the monkeys, it's all the cool trees and rocks. Same with the desert house - cool rocks. The fennic foxes did perk up surprised when Nico's cry echoed through the silent habitat (we were the only two humans in it, unless there were workers "back stage").

I tried, guppiecat to get a picture of my son delighted about animals, but he kept noticing me with the camera and turning to look at me. I did get a nice video of tiny monkeys grooming each other, but haven't posted it yet. And the mama gorilla reaching her arms out so that the little boy gorilla (2 years old) could crawl into her arms for a nap on her chest was pretty adorable.

He's a suitor.

The great knight Sir Nico graciously offers his lady-love the gift of a rattley toy ;)

That's OK. Eventually he'll get distracted for a sufficiently long time that you can get photos of him.

Either that, or he'll get bored and just think "dad's got the camera out again". Even my cats eventually got to that point. ;)
