| Jungle Julian Meets Santa |
I loooove school fairs. From jail to marriage booths to cotton candy, snowcones and hotdogs. So when Julian asked me to go to Montessori bright and early this weekend, I said yes right away. Papa joined us and ended up carrying shopping bags for me! No, I was smart enough not to splurge. Just took advantage of this bargain corner selling Christmas decor export overruns. I got myself some neat stuff for the house.
The petting zoo was pretty cool. I liked watching Julian slowly gaining confidence with the animals. You see him here, pretty apprehensive about the albino python at first, only to later serve as the mini-zoo's resident tour guide with classmate Chalu and the others who came in a little bit later.
See the initial tension on his face over here? Hahaha! Couldn't you tell he was a tad bit nervous? Why even the turtle made him a bit edgy.
And wouldn't you know it, for the very first time, a monkey that neither spit nor threw stuff at the visitors.
Yup, in no time, Julian and his cute classmate Chalu here, found a friend in the little monkey!
The official photographer took one really cool picture with this snake almost draped over Julian's shoulders. I'd scan and post it here but realize I've got more than enough to show how he had a blast this day. At one point, he even said, "I wan't to be Steve Irwin!" To which a friend joking replied, "...you wanna be dead???"
Ha! Tentative today, crocodile hunter tomorrow!
But you could immediately tell Julian was interested in the iguana. He kept asking if this was the same kind of reptile that had a radioactive blast turning it into Godzilla!
At one time, Julian even had one cockatoo poop on his head. He had been so busy lifting the belly of the python off a pup that it nearly crushed. "Eeww, cockatoo poo!"
I wish I could say he was just as excited to meet with Santa. The poor old man came in second to the highly-popular python. Here's Mr. Claus with my little Steve Irwin.
And then back again, this time to make friends with puppies and to try to referring bickering hens, a crazy turkey and the noisiest geese...
By noon, Julian was begging to buy one pet to take home. Thank goodness he decided he wanted the colored chicks instead of white mice! Here he is choosing his new friend, which he named "Chicky Bass"! Har har har!
