Daddy: I Love You!
On a peaceful and sunny Easter Sunday, Erik woke up bright and early ready for the day. Mummy loves this tender moment when Erik's beautiful eyes flutter open and on his face is the widest and sweetest grin! He'll invitingly says to either groggy parent "Come on! Follow Me!" in English for Daddy and in Cantonese for Mummy to lead us to his usual morning routine (i.e potty walk).
This weekend, Mummy is pretty much buried in work and in school. Lots of catching up to do and have stayed up way too late the past few nights trying to catch up. Stress level is high....way high! So that means Daddy gets full "Erik Duty" past Saturday afternoon (from our Egg Hunt) but for Daddy, he's always up for having some extra 1:1 time with our Boo Boo.
After we shared our family weekend breakfast, Daddy and Erik hit the road! Off to one of their favorite spots, the Zoo, of course! Because of Daddy's affection towards exposing and teaching Erik about animals, Erik is very much into them these days. They have their whole zoo routine down and Erik doesn't mind the 20+ minute drive to it as long as its to the Zoo!
However, today was a bit special. They had a mid-morning animal show for "Animal Exposures" and Oh my! Erik TOUCHED a rat snake! EEK! That is why Mummy says "Daddy, I love you" because if it was Mummy in the same shoes, Erik would not have been touching any of the animals! LOL! Mummy is the 'overprotective' one, yeah, she knows it! However, since he was with Daddy, Boo Boo got to pet gently 3 different animals: a rat snake, a turtle, and a hedge hog! WOW! That is amazing! If you ask Erik "How does a hedge hog feel?", he'll reply with a silly grin "Pokey!"
What a special Father & Son Easter!
By the way, this is NOT the first time that Erik has touched a snake! His first time was actually in Singapore when he was only 10-11 months old and it was a Green Python.
