Tonight we went to zoo lights after seeing how excited Tristan was with the lights at the mall the other night. We had no idea we would all have such a great time. The lights were beautiful and the music was great. I have to admit I got a little choked up with all the holiday cheer tonight. Tristan was SO thrilled with all the light animals. He greeted each one with a wave and a hello, and was sure to wave and say good-bye to each one. A few he almost forgot, but a quick back track later just for a good-bye and nobody was left out. T and I took a train ride and made whistle noises the whole way which I'm sure the people behind us loved. We kept up with the little guy for the most part as he ran from one animal to the next stopping along the way when some good music hit him and he would dance in the middle of the path and get everyone laughing. We had some bad pizza and a wonderful pudding parfait that I might have to make at home this weekend. I wish we could go do it all over again. Maybe we will go again in January if we have another night that isn't too cold. Thankfully it warmed up for a few nights and there was no snow. We were warm and safe to run. These adventures are SO much better when we get to see them through Tristan's eyes. He would just stare at the lights and whisper "WOW," and that makes everything wonderful. As we were leaving and he was riding on Neil's shoulders, I looked up at the smile plastered on his face. It was as if he was so happy that he didn't know how to stop smiling the biggest smile even if he wanted to. T fell asleep on the way home, so I took him straight to his room to change him for bed. I was half way through changing him when he woke up, sat up, smiled at me, and then rolled onto his belly and fell asleep on the changing table with a HUGE smile on his little face. I wish I could make him that happy everyday!!
