Tears at the Zoo

Jennefer and I took Maya and Guillermo to the zoo today. Guillermo had a great time, even if he was a bit wimpy about walking so much, but poor Maya ended the day on antibiotics for an ear infection. 

She fell asleep on the way to the zoo and when she woke up, she was pretty crabby. She cheered up a bit at the zoo, especially when she got a close up look at the gorillas, but broke down when we tried to eat lunch. I couldn't get her to stop crying, even with offers of pizza, ice cream, and cookies and knew then it must be bad. So, we boarded the tram back to the start of the zoo and I shelled out $15 ($15!) for infant Tylenol. Lucky for us, the Tylenol  kicked in right away and she fell asleep on the way home (all 90 minutes of our drive). 

She was better tonight, and actually played with Guillermo a bit. He didn't mind that we left the zoo early. I don't think he realized we saw only a quarter of it. Jennefer bought him a stuffed poisonous dart frog that I'm sure he will snuggle up to each night, right next to his stuffed shark. 

Tomorrow, we get to see Justin Roberts!!

OMG, $15 for Tylenol! I hate getting robbed like that!

Hope Maya is feeling better.
