Play Date!

Andrea, Jada, Cousin Isaak, and Aunt Tracy went to the Zoo together today. Jada is getting very proficient at identifying the Zoo animals. She still suffers from Zoo/Lagoon co morbidity. She believes they are one in the same, and cant seem to figure out why "Puff", and "Monster Rides" (Dracula's Castle, Terror Ride) magically disappear or re-appear on any given day? I'm sure she'll eventually catch on.

Andrea reported that Isaak (Son of Scott & Tracy, Scott is Jada's Dad's cousin) maintained a scholarly approach to the various animals taking time to inspect, monitor, and re-inspect each individual animal. Apparently its not out of the ordinary for Isaak to spend 40-45 minutes studying the just the elephants! All the while Jada Rose was more of a "Zoo Trick or Treater" rushing to each animal pausing only long enough to identify that particular animal, and promptly moving on to the next.








After the Zoo, Cousin Kit came over to enjoy a nap time retreat in the highly coveted Ute Room napping corner (Jada's dad wishes he was napping there right now!). Before the nap, Jada enjoyed entertaining cousin Kit by playing "at her level" Because of Jada's Liver transplant she rarely ever played on her tummy in her pre-walking days, so actually this was probably a fairly new experience for Jada Rose. It was fun to see Jada start to take enjoyment out of spending time with her cousin Kit. Chances are this alliance will haunt Cousin Troy in the coming years. But thats where he and his Uncle Troy will come together as the Trojans they are, and quell any attempted female insurrections!

Jada Rose- "Mmmmmm Juuuuiiiccce!"

Kit-"Mmmmmm photo op!"


Jada Rose- "here you need more pink, try this."

Kit-"Common Jada we both know who my mother is!"


Jada Rose-"See how giving I am?"

Kit-"Gee thanks Jada...your a regular Mother Theresa! Separate with the juice, and I might be impressed"
