I have been thinking about how fun it would be to do some posts from a child’s perspective and I cam across this post of a 3yo’s commentary on her day at the Zoo. I LOVE this! I also love how she captured it with her pics!
Please meet Amelia via her mom, Julie. Julie is a part-time WAHM sharing how she is learning to balance work, life, and adventurous 3 year old Amelia over at her blog: 3Momsin1. Enjoy!...
After more than a month of cold temperatures and gray skies, the SUN CAME OUT!
The forecast predicted a high temperature of 64. They were wrong... it ended up reaching 70 degrees! What a wonderful, gorgeous day.
The Atlanta area doesn't get much bad winter weather (our January snowpocalypse was shocking!), but our months are very gray. Clearly, the sun has a winter home in south Florida. After weeks of depression-inducing weather blahs, when that first sunny day hits Atlanta, the people head outdoors. The nearby parks were so crowded, it looked like ants pouring out of an anthill.
We knew we had to relish the incredible day as well. We took Amelia on her very first trip to the zoo! This was a huge event for such an animal lover. And she was at a perfect age. She kept her eyes wide with wonder and a spring in her step as we discovered meerkats and lemurs, snakes and gila monsters, panda bears and lions.
In true Amelia fashion (and with typical loud preschooler volume), she kept the commentary running the entire time.

 "Woah, those are the biggest I've ever seen!" |

 "He was scratching his bum! What's his name? Oh, Ivan! Hi Ivan! You have an itch on your bum!?!" |
| |
 "Panda bear! Snacktime for panda bear! Hey, Mommy! She said he is three! When it's my birthday party, I will be three! Hey bear... Amelia is three too!!!" |
| |
 "He's so funny! It's a tired sleepy day! Hey kangaroo... WAKE UP!!!!" |
| |
 "It's OK baby elephant... your daddy isn't here? Oh, he's at work. He will be home soon! Shhh, baby elephant. It's OK. You'll be fine. Shhhh, shhhh." |

 And a silent Amelia in the middle of the path. She did not want to go home. |
Thank You Julie over at 3Momsin1 for sharing this post with us! Please show her some love and visit her site. Another of her posts you might enjoy is her finale to her Potty Training with Amelia, it's funny and has some great tips. Congrats Amelia!

Thanks for visiting today! If your little ones are non-stop commentators or have a funny conversation with you, please send it in HERE or straight to our ToddleToots email. I think there is something healthy, not to mention just down right cute and sometimes hilarious, to view things from a child’s perspective.
