Mundane yet exciting events

Having a kid really does change one's perspective in life.  What may seem like a mudane, utterly boring and something that you would hardly think to do as a childless couple, surprisingly becomes a regular part of your "to do" things once you have a kid.  Case in point,  a visit to the ZOO.






Zoo is as regular on our to visit list as a grocery store now.  Something that one may find oh so boring is such an exciting thing for me; not because I get to see the 'sleepy' animals yet again, but because how my kiddo's face lights up every time he sees the same animals week after week.  The minute he hears the word "Zoo", his little face lights up and starts wondering when we'll get to go again.  Even when at the Zoo, he keeps asking when we're going to the Zoo!


As much as I dread my visits to these same places over and over, I do look forward to my kiddo's face light up every time even though he sees the same thing probably for the 100th time.
