Morgan and I had a rough day a while back, right after I read this post. And I thought, hey, we have a Petco nearby. Morgan loves animals. I love being out of the house. So we went to Petco! It was a very glamorous field trip. I showed her all the rodent-y things, which somehow are a lot more cute when they're in cages and not scratching under your bed all night. She was interested, but not nearly as fascinated as she was when we discovered the birds.
She was bored by the fish, which surprised me, and kind of scared of the reptiles (clever girl, Mommy is too). We finally discovered where they hid the cats, and she was all over that. Right now she has a fixation on birds and cats - don't tell her they're mortal enemies - and when she wants to go outside to look for them, she meows or chirps. And then she brings my boots to me.
Right behind the Petco is this lovely hidden park in the middle of busy commercial Sugarhouse. Morgan loves watching the water, so I figured while she was entertained in a nice setting, I would try to take some pictures. I'm always frustrated by their lack of professionalism, but I guess that's what you get when you're an amateur with a point and shoot camera. I made a list the other day of things I want to learn about, and photography was top of the list.
Nana called while we were playing, and came to join us. The fact that Nana had to keep working a little didn't decrease her charm for Morgan - in her eyes, technology is a bonus, especially if she can steal it.
And then, having salvaged the day, we came home to Erik.
Thank you Missy for the inspiration!

haha!! I was inspired by Missy's post TOO! Asher and I made a stop or two at the local pet store as well this week. The fish and kitties had him for awhile, but once he saw the doggie toys, it was all over. He spent the rest of the time throwing the neon tennis balls all over the store.
Fun while it lasted though...
Whatever it takes to get through winter with a toddler. We moms need to stick together!
