Zoo - Toddler Style

Madeline and I strolled downtown right into the pet store (per her request). We stayed in there for a good twenty minutes while she tickled the kittens and giggled at them kissing her fingers. She led me to the parrots and stood watching them as they spoke seemingly important information and when she became bored of them, she moved back toward the kittens. We had so much fun interacting with those animals and it didn't cost us a thing. In fact, Madeline has been there several times before and enjoys the close interaction and the feeling that she is much larger than they are.
