Despite the cold weather yesterday, today turned into an absolutely perfect day!!
Aunt Amy treated us to the Zoo, feeding giraffes, and a ride on the carousel!!!
Drakeford was so excited to ride on the panda bear. Marlow was less excited and opted for the bench seat two rows ahead. This put me is a very tricky spot holding a baby too! Drakeford said "will you stand here and protect me?" As he climbed on the panda yet at the same time Marlow is on the verge of ditching the whole thing all together! I quickly told Drakeford that I would be sitting on the bench with the girls and that I needed him to be my strong brave boy.
There really was a 50/50 chance that he would have melted into a puddle of sobs at all the pressures of the carousel - loud speakers, spinning, up and down, outside seat - yikes! Then to top it off, no mommy!!
He sat there with the biggest smile on his face! He was so excited and was so brave! I was proud of him!
Then when I got a chance to think about it, I was proud of Marlow too. She could have ditched the whole thing! Instead she came on with us and just asked for a safer seat. We could look back at Drakeford the whole time and that helped!
Mimi snapped a couple pictures of him that I will post when I get them!
Enjoy these pics!
