Nicholas has had a great weekend! He loved having Joe's parents here. The week we spent on vacation with them has really payed off because Nicholas is so comfortable with them and was very excited to see them. In fact at one point when his grandma was holding him, we asked if he wanted to come to mommy and he shook his head vigorously. Wow!
I think Nicholas' favorite part of the weekend was our trip to the zoo Saturday morning. We did the African section (which we haven't done in awhile) and just the farm part of the children's zoo (which is his favorite). He was really interested in the big animals this time, but did his normal process for new things: stared intently and seriously, trying to figure them out.
The farm section is where he really started having a blast.
Thanks to riding his rocking horse, he started "riding" as soon as he got on the saddle. (Click on the image below to get video):
For the first time we went on the mini tractors they have, and Nicholas loved them. Especially crashing! (Click on the image below for a video of the hilarity.)
And here is a snapshot of the laughter upon crashing:
We then went to pet the goats. Nicholas likes brushing them more than petting them with his hands, although he invariably holds the brush upside down.
And of course we had to take a ride on the train while we were there, because neither Joe nor his parents had been on it yet.
All in all, a delightful weekend!
