"He doesn't know a lot." Mani explains. "There's a five year old little girl named Josie in his daycare during the afternoons. She speaks both Spanish and English."
"Mommy. Mama." Chris interrupts, reminding us that he wants to see the brown bears when we take too long to walk in that direction.
"Alright, let's go see these bears." I pick him up, causing him to squeal when I place him on my shoulders.
"The brown ones." He insists.

Chris has ahold of mine and Mani's hands, not letting go and dragging us to each exhibit he wants to see. There is no rhyme or reason as to what he wants to look at, it's whatever his heart desires.
Mani and I have no problem walking from one end of the zoo to the next and back again, and when Chris gets tired she has me carry him, but since Tia decided heels would be a good choice for a day of walking, she's having difficulties and keeps falling behind. She almost looks like some sort of crazed stalker, not dressed for a trip to the zoo and too far away to be considered a part of our group. Even Zack is wearing 'plain clothes' as he follows us from a safe distance.
"Is it time to go home yet?" Tia is the one complaining like a two year old, rather than the two year old, when we stop to look at the tortoise eating his lunch.
"But I wanna see the gawilla next!" Chris says and I can't help but laugh. He's sure giving me a workout today.
