Dear Zoo

J picked up Dear Zoo yesterday, a gift from our pastor's wife when J turned one.

We read the book several times together at J's insistence.

I would introduce the name of an animal, and she would copy me.

After a while, she got quite good at remembering what's what.

Today, she was able to identify

• the monkey (pronouncing "monkey" perfectly + bonus "ooh ooh ah" sounds),
• the snake ("nake!" + swirly hand motion to signify snake slithering),
• the lion ("bah!!" to mimic its roar),
• the frog ("fog").
