Mowgli's day out!

Dr. Spock says that children need to be stimulated with different environments so as to promote curiosity, help in their development etc etc. That’s how we went to the Zoo!
Mowgli had a gala time. Initially I thought maybe he is too small to enjoy, but as usual the boy proved me totally wrong! He was so excited seeing the animals and the birds. He has a book with pictures of animals and it’s the BH’s job to show him the animals and imitate their sounds. So it was more fun for him to see the same animals live!

The first were the giraffes and he got totally hyper when he saw them. Pointing at them madly and shouting at the top of his voice “Nanna… Geeeraaaaaaaaaaa” (don’t ask me where the ‘Eff” went. He doesn’t seem to have that sound in his vocabulary). Kept on laughing and pointing at them. Even now he points at the giraffe's picture in his book and goes bonkers over it!

Saw the bright coloured parrots and flamingoes and went “Nanna…ka-ka”. Now ka-ka means crow. The poor flamingoes. They sure got insulted when they heard that!

The next was the tiger and that was when our poor little boy showed his true colours. That he is just a lot of sound and show, but when it comes to ground reality he is one big scary poo!!! One look at the tiger and he lost his voice. He just kept staring at that majestic animal and clutched the BH tightly. No roars from him, not even a meow! He opened his mouth only after we were a good distance away from the tiger’s enclosure. Hahahaha. The same was repeated for all the big cats.
Saw the elephants and the rhinos and the monkeys and every thing else. In the end we got tired walking and carrying him around. We couldn’t make him walk because he insisted on going inside the cages!!! All in all it was a good trip both for Mowgli and us. The zoo is well maintained. Lots of space for kids to play around. It’s a good one-day trip from Bangalore. Its a nice drive and Mowgli was totally tired out at the end of the day.
