I was very fortunate that David was able to take two weeks off after the baby was born. A lot of that time was spent as special Daddy and Eliana time. They would go off each day on a different adventure together, leaving me in peace with William for lots of newborn snuggles. They went to storytime at the library, to the park, to the pool, and even to the zoo. Eliana was very excited about that one and asked to go back for days after. It was really sad when David had to go back to work, as I could see how much Eliana missed him. She kept asking where he was and when I told her he was at work, she would ask "why?' What a really great thing though that they got to spend that time together. I think it did a lot to ward off any jealousy on her part, as she got lots of attention when William first came home.

| The Heart of Africa is a new exhibit that just opened at the zoo and has giraffes and zebras, among other animals. Eliana was most excited to see those, plus the elephants. She also wanted to see hippos, but we don't have those at the zoo. Oh well. |
