Today we went to the zoo with some friends and I think it was the first time that Micah really saw the animals. First we went to the sea lions and Micah stood at the window above the tank and watched them and pointed down at them below us. Then we went into the deer section and he again was pointing and watching the deer intently. It was really stunning to watch how closely he watched the animals. He did the same with the goats and sheep, the donkeys, watching the sea lions from below, watching the sharks from under the shark tank. He also loved looking in at the fish in the aquarium as usual. He loves the giant fish tanks and will just stand at the glass and look in at them. I also turned him loose in the tunnel under the sting ray tank. It was adorable, he crawled in to the tunnel and stood up at an underwater window, looked in at the sting rays for a minute, and then saw that the top of the tunnel is glass and he could see me through it. He just started grinning, I crouched down and looked at him through the tunnel and he just exploded in joy and laughed while he crawled at top speed back to me. It was wonderful. Definitely the best zoo outing yet.
