This morning Elias walked into our room just before 7am. Af
ter getting onto the bed, he started talking about rain forests. I guess they have been talking about rain forests at school and he wanted to tell us about how they made a little rain forest. I thought it would be good idea to go to the zoo today to see the Amazon part and see the animals that live there and then go to the library to get some books in rain forests. It was not to be though. Elias nixed that idea in favor of going to the swimming pool and the library. His reasoning: "Mommy, I love swimming pools and books."
In that case, I decided we would go on a little bus adventure. Since we had the whole day, I figured we would just tool around town and hop on different buses. Before we left, Elias told me that we had to eat or we would die and that we had to drink water to grow. Fair enough. So we left the house around 10:30 and took the #75 to the swimming pool. A woman on the bus asked if Elias was a boy or girl. We stayed at the pool for about an hour then headed down south to Mississippi Ave. on the #4. While waiting for the #4, Elias made up a game that he would try to kiss my cheek but then his mouth would "fart" on my cheek instead. It was charming, as you can imagine. Also, an older woman drove by and shouted out of the car that my kid was really cute, but was it a boy or girl? Apparently this was the theme of the day.
Mississippi Ave. is very popular with Elias because it has a comic book store. We went to the comic book store and browsed for a while. We left with more than we had come in with. Elias got a Justice Leag
ue comic book and I couldn't resist buying him a graphic novel of the Hobbit. Then we had lunch at a place by the comic book store and Elias ate almost his entire quesadilla. I think he may be having a growth spurt because he doesn't usually eat much. Then it was time to wait for the #4 again. While we were waiting this time, a man and woman were walking down the street with a bunch of pink cupcakes and passing them out for Valentines Day. Elias was happy to oblige. And that wasn't the end of the gifts that Elias receieved. After we got on the bus again, a lady kept patting Elias' head and talking about how cute he is. She asked if he wanted a piece of candy but he was pretty frightened of the woman and said no; so instead she gave him a dollar bill. It was a little wierd.
We got off that bus and went to the library but we were both pretty tired by then and didn't stay long. The #72 is right outside of the library so we got on that and transfered to a #9 which took us home. Finally. I was carrying the wet suits, the snacks, the library books, etc. Needless to say, I couldn't carry anything else, including Elias. When we had one block left Elias was not very happy about the fact that I couldn't carry him. "But, mommy," he said, "I'm extremely tired!"
