Chocolate Feet

Charlie’s recovery from his surgery was miraculous! By Saturday morning, he acted as if it never happened. His incisions are healing nicely and the redness around the two incisions is completely gone. What a robust little boy we have!

Amidst recovery this weekend, we also celebrated Neal’s 35th birthday. To celebrate, Neal and I went out for dinner and a movie while Gammy enchanted Charlie for a few hours. I think they may have had as much if not more fun than Neal and I did.

Sunday, we spent most of the day being lazy, enjoying the weather at the zoo, and stuffing ourselves with birthday treats.

The zoo was packed full of families! I have never seen it so crowded. While there, we particularly enjoyed watching the 3 tiger cubs nap and play. They just recently had their first birthdays in March.

Charlie also got to experience Ben and Jerry’s for the first time. In a bad parent move, we decided to feed our ice-cream cravings at 7:45 that evening. We kept our fingers crossed that he wouldn’t completely crumple just as we got our scoops of that luxurious creamy goodness. Then, we remembered that we have one of the most chilled out kids on the planet. Charlie was too tired to for neatness, thus, the chocolate smeared on his face, neck and feet.
