Yesterday I went to the zoo. I went to the zoo with Baby Boy AND his little cousin, BY MYSELF!!! I know, I know before you start showering me with phrases of how brave and amazing I am let me tell you something. Two kids is a TON of work!!! You never have a moment to breathe or to think. I can't imagine grocery shopping. As I stand contemplating the prices of produce I would surely lose one kid.
I kind of knew this when I volunteered to take my niece to the zoo so I came prepared. I had Baby Boy in my ergo. (BTW if you don't have one of these buy one immediately!!! ERGO Carrier the Best thing EVER!!!) My little niece was strapped into the stroller...or so I thought! She was like Houdini!!! Before I had a chance to look at the flamingos she had somehow gotten out of the straps and was standing up in the stroller. She gave me a heart attack! I had visions of her going down in a pile of appendages. Meanwhile I'm stuck having to explain to her VERY pregnant mother why she would be happier with her soon to be newborn than with her rambunctious 20 month old.
All in all it was a very productive day. The kids had fun playing with each other and both of them are still alive in one piece. After we got home from the Zoo they were both passed out for about 30 minutes in the car while I got some quiet time to myself.
Great fun, although I don't think I will be doing that again anytime soon!
