March 23: girls only

Pure coincidence but spark was all girls yesterday. Even the siblings were all girls the one exception was the one grandpa who brought his daughter.

March 22: touch

Discovered Melanie was sticking out her hand to let it run along the pole or chain link fence depending on whether we were coming or going. I remember doing this but how did she figure it out? She hasn't seen anyone do it. She really likes to though.

March 12: zoo

Melanie was very cute at the zoo. It was also very busy being the first day of spring break. I also saw something I have never seen. They had changed the antelope who were in with the rhino for 2 zebras. Talking to the keeper they had been off display until the older zebra who was in there died. Then they were with the giraffe but they nipped at the giraffes. They were in with the rhino who were much sturdier. I watched them as the rhino tried to come to their hay pile, the turned around and kicked out with both feet several times chasing them away. Man! Zebras can be feisty!
