As soon as we got there Greyson had to get the map so he could tell us all where to go.
He was pretty happy to be sitting up watching everything going on around him in the wagon.
That's one happy baby.
I sure hope this doesn't mean he is going to like snakes, he sure won't fit in our family. His mom, dad, and sister will be freaking out if he comes up carrying one of those.
Addison wasn't feeling great, but she was excited to tell everyone that the elephant was making nuggets.
Of course one of her favorites was the fish. Later she asked me for her fishing pole.
This was right before the duck bit her finger. She didn't think it was very funny.
Greyson liked watching the ducks...or maybe he was just happy that Aunt Sharon wanted to cart him around.
I think she was starting to get hot and hungry but she did finally decide to look in the water at the sting rays. She didn't want to touch one though.
Later she decided to stick her fingers close to the water. I didn't realize how close one of the stingrays was.
This Chimp was busy playing with his poop, and apparently Addison was having none of it, she decided to just walk away.
Greyson didn't care if he played with his poop, he says you should see the stuff I make. Huge messes I bet mommy feels like you do right now ;)
Like his hat? He actually wore it for a while..until he realized it was on there.
She was watching the orangutang playing in a bucket, she thought it was pretty funny. I think you can tell how she feels from this picture though.
We were getting close to the end of the day, and neither kid had a melt down. I was pretty impressed with how well an 8 month old did, and how well Addison did considering she was NOT feeling well, but still insisted on going to see the animals.
She even took her turn at pulling brother. What a big helper...until we got to the next animal and she just dropped the handle.
There was one monkey in this exhibit when we got there, he came over to look at Greyson, and then it was like he hollered to his buddies to come check him out. Two more came out and were looking at him but acted like they were trying not too. We had fun with the commentary on that one.
Addison thoguht she needed to pose with this snake for daddy and GJ to see. I wss surprised she would sit this close to him but wouldn't stand on the wall by the hippo's.
Greyson had fun poseing with the crocidile in the background there. He really was such a great little boy that day.
Addison thought this guy needed some help swimming so she is holding him up.
It was nice to go to STL for something other than a surgery, appointment, or hospital stay. We are planning a trip back in September with daddy, I think both kids will have fun with that.
Health wise, Greyson does have the cold that Addison and daddy are now getting over and you can hear it in his lungs when he breathes, I am sure that is the reason for his low saturations. We go back to Dr. Holly on Monday to have his sturations checked again, and see if they are closer to his normal range. If they aren't I am going to request someone take a listen to him and make sure that his lungs sound clear before I get to worried about it. If they don't then we will go back the week after when he is hopefully over the cold. Dr. Rahimi suggested we might have to put him on a medicine to help dialte his Pulmonary Arteries if his sats stay low, and I believe it is a life long medicine. There is another name for it that they use, but the one I remember, and everyone else will too, is...Viagra. What you wanna put my baby on viagra? AllI could picture was poor Greyson walking around...ughhum...innappropriately. The nurse assured me that 99% of the time it doesn't have that effect on them.
