Simon was more than excited to go to the zoo for many weeks. We told him that we were going to the Milwaukee Zoo "four sleeps" in advance. He kept saying "go to zoo now". So, we made a paper chain to count down the days to zoo day, he cut off a link each morning before breakfast. He asked numerous times a day, and I kept saying "are the links gone?" and he kept saying "no", so I kept saying "not yet, when the links are gone we will go to the zoo". After only "one sleep", he took himself to look at the zoo chain and engaged himself in the previous dialogue when the zoo was mentioned. Milwaukee is a 1 1/2 hour drive and he looked so sullen and sad after about 45 minutes of driving, as if he did not believe us! But when we arrived, he was soo excited, so happy, so fun, and so good! We had a marvelous time at the zoo and definitely want a return trip!
