A date with my baby girl

It's hard with three to get special one on one time with each of them, but it is so important to me that I make time for them.  I have started doing a gymnastics class with Emerson on Thursday mornings and she is loving.  Just the two of us, no big brother picking on her and no baby brother demanding my attention, just me and my baby girl. So spring is finally here and this week the weather has been amazing.  I decided Emerson and I would have a special date and go to the zoo.  Now, she is not a big fan of animals (except kitties) so I knew this could be hit or miss.  As we walked in, the first animals are the monkeys and when she spotted them she jumped in her stroller and said "let's go home".  Not off to a good start so we started heading off in another direction and all of a sudden the monkeys started swinging from tree to tree and Emerson laughed and laughed.  From that moment forward she was sold...the zoo was awesome.  She had an absolute blast and I had so much fun with her.  Not one fit, until we got to the car and she realized we were leaving.  She was worn out, but talked about the monkeys, zebras, elephants, and snakes the whole way home.  I can't wait until our next special date!
