I'm going to take JJ to the zoo. I want to introduce him to different sights and sounds. They say a babies mind is like a blank slate. That they soak up everything until they are six. Now I don't know if it's true or not. I've heard it more than once. I heard it first in college.

For the First 6 Years, your child absorbs everything says Maria Montessori. I'm not sure if there are any Montessori schools here or not. I hope so.

Today his little brain is going to experience the zoo. I think it will be good for him. Anyone want to come with?

I feel like I'm behind. I still haven't gone to the zoo with Belle and Jesse.

When do you want to meet there? It can take a minute to pack these two up.

My kids love the zoo. It's hard to keep an eye on all of them though.

Today, it's just little JJ.

I'm lucky I have the greatest children. The older ones look after the younger ones when we do family outings.

Even the twins are enchanted by the differing animals, just like their older siblings.

I'd have to fight you over that but I think all moms think they have the greatest kids. Although I am glad that I'm done with kids. I'm definitely at my limit of little angels.

I have three teenagers, two seven=year old twins and little JJ.

We should get our seven-year-olds a play date.

I don't have any teenagers yet.

We should.

Want a play date for them. We could go to the park, our house, the zoo? We have a lot of options.

That would be great. Maybe at the house? So we can relax while they play?

Oh my girls love the monkeys. I swear it's the only animal they want to see.

The monkeys are a big draw at our house too. But I have to say with all the exotic animals to choose from, their favorite is the manatee.

You should join us.

I can see how that can be a favorite.

You sure?

Of course. Plus I'd love the company, my family couldn't come.

I'm on my way now. I should be there in 45 minutes.

I think we should be able to get there in an hour. If you don't mind us been fifteen minutes after you.

You're a good mom. I'm sure you two will have a lot of fun at the zoo.

Thank you, I appreciate your lovely words.

I think the numbers of different animals will be great visual interaction. Then there are always animals that are verbal. I think JJ will love it.

I'm sure that he will. There's also these great places with interactive toys you can buy him.

You could go in the morning when it's not so busy. I wouldn't say it was quieter but less people around.

That way he won't get overstimulated. That can happen at such busy places.

Well you're a new mom to a baby. You'll learn but you'll never feel like a pro. Believe me.

I have older children, but this is the first one I've had. So your right, this part of it is new to me. I worry about everything.

It would be nice if it were easy, but I'm so pleased to have my children. I don't know what I'd do without them.

Yes they do.

Half of my children are in their teens. They can still give me a look that makes me want to melt. Luckily, I can usually tell when it's a manipulation.

I can tell when it's manipulation too but some times I just let them go with that.
