"Come Here Cats!"

Sept 3, 2009 Danika & the Meerkats
My precious little girl - we went to the zoo a lot while I was off work on maternity leave. It was really so much fun!

On this particular day, we were at the zoo and when we got to this display, she asked what the animals were called. I told her they were "meerkats".... at which point she started to laugh and yell "Come here cats!" for 10 minutes. ;) We were pretty much alone at the zoo that day, so I let her have fun. It was cracking me up. :) And then the one little creature just started mirroring her and running back and forth whenever she did. I watched thinking that it couldn't last long...but when they kept playing their little game with each other, I pulled out my cell phone and filmed this short clip. John was sound asleep in his snugli strapped to my chest, and it was just a wonderful "mommy" kind of day. I love watching this because I just remember how much fun we had together that day.

Oh - and those little shorts and shirt she is wearing? Yes - those would be 12 months clothing. She is 2 1/2 years old. Will she ever grow?
