We have a bunch of videos today, so here it goes.
We went to Children’s Grand Park. First to the children’s museum for lunch and to play, then we walked to the zoo, only to find the whole thing is closed due to avian flu. But we could still see the seals from up top and the conservatory was open.
From there we returned to the children’s museum and played for another hour. First we explored the science section on the third floor, then went back to the infant area.
We headed home, stopping to swing along the way.
Carly brought home with her a letter to August from my parents, and his first birthday present from Vivian.
Onwards to the videos and photos:

Stacking:

This is his little rocking of excitement that he managed to stack them:

Seals and plants:

Watching the fish and waterfall:

Banana flower:

Walking back to the museum, he took off his hat by pulling the pom pom. I tried to pull back and said ‘no’ but he laughed. It was a new game. I tested, and no other word elicited a response when I pulled back on the hat. Only ‘no’. This may make discipline more difficult. Or at least funny:
Back at the children’s museum:

Kissing the horse/zebra. He actually did this on his own, but did it again when I asked him to kiss the horse:

Back home, he really liked his card from grandma and grandpa (it has a dog on it) and the birthday present of Vivian’s favorite things:
