Where the Wild Things Are

Yesterday we went to the zoo. I was struck by many uncandid similarities between the animals and Connor. The monkeys seemed to jump and run with no discernable pattern, acting wild and silly. Much like Connor at night around 10pm or so.

The pigs splashed in the mud and had no concept of cleanliness. This is Connor when he eats. Each and every meal.

The lion seemed to roar whenever something did not please him. Just like Connor screaming out when he wants to watch Baby Einstein.

After the zoo we headed out for a late lunch. It was a great Austin day where we just randomly decided everything we were going to do.

Today little wolfie got sick. His temp hovered around 103, flirting with a too high 104 which would mean a trip to the ER. I think this family has a one ER weekly trip maximum. He knew we had already reached it this week, gulped down dose after does of tylenol, and is doing a little better. Should pull through by tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow, I actually have to go to work. It's been like five days since I've been. After I work tomorrow and Friday, it's a three day weekend and my parents and brothers are coming to stay with us. It will be great for them to see Connor. It really seems that in the last week or two he has grown up so much. Usually it's gradual, but something clicked or changed last week.

It's such a joy to watch.
