JD’s school organised a visit to the zoo a week ago.  I didn’t volunteer myself to tag along, coz with a 38 weeks belly, walking and standing with this heavy belly of mine is just way too hard.

He had a great time, and apparently he was one of the few kids that fell asleep on the school bus on the way back from zoo, and his teacher had to carry him back into the classroom.  He was still sleeping on the mat whenI got to school to pick him up.  He was a tired little boy from all the walking and excitement at the zoo.

JD said his favourite was the tiger snake, he loves listening to the stories at the zoo.  He talked non-stop about what he saw and in the evening, he sat down quietly at the table on his own initiative and drew out what he remembered.

(JD’s narration:  I saw the gorillas at the zoo.  They were running around, and threw the leaves down from the tree.  They were also eating bananas.)

I love his drawing.   The way some monkeys have their backs to the spectators.  It was very much the way he saw it.  When he showed his picture to his class teachers the next day, they were amazed, as it was exactly the way the monkeys were at the zoo.
