March 06 was a very special (and pretty busy) day for us. Our little boy was turning two and the mom and dad prepared a fun-filled day for him.
Manu enjoys watching animals on tv and never fails to point (and identify) his favorites during shows, so going to the zoo and seeing the animals live in person was a real treat for him.
He enjoyed looking at the fish:
He adored the little rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs:
He really liked taking pictures with the birds:
He was awed when he saw the lions, tigers, bear cubs, crocodiles and whole lot of others. He enjoyed every minute of our zoo trip in fact (but was disappointed to learn that there were no elephants) that he refused to eat anything during the trip (tsk! tsk!)
It’s a good thing we had a hearty dinner, which was topped off with Italiannis’ head waiter singing the “Happy Birthday” song in Italian (funny that he sang it to a 2 year old who is just learning to speak in phrases).
Despite not seeing elephants, despite not having an appetite during the day, and despite the Italian-singing waiter, I could tell that Manu enjoyed his birthday.

hi iris, avilon is a nice place. actually didn’t expect it to look that good. madami lang ginagawa ngayon but i’m sure after all the work the zoo will look much better.
hey, we didn’t get a free pizza! just two ice cream scoops (wow.)

hi kelly,
no, we’re not of the same birthdate (hehe, misleading ang message ko - sorry, antok pa ‘ko kanina e!) i guess parehas kami ni manu na mahilig sa animals. i’m always fond of check out zoos kahit saan. hmmm, magkakasundo kme ni adoraboy mo!
