More zootime fun

We’re still talking about the zoo over here…literally. Every night, Maya emerges from bath time as naked baby (possibly her favorite version of herself), looks at herself in the bathroom mirror, gives a slightly arrogant laugh, and we head into her bedroom. When I am in charge, we do naked reading on the futon while I dry her hair, almost always of “Goodnight Gorilla”–a tale of a gorilla who lets his animal friends out of the zoo and into the zookeeper’s house for the night, and hijinks ensue. This story has become especially exciting after the REAL zoo.

I put the lion picture in here because a) it is a great shot (by Mustafa) and b) Lola hangs out in exactly the same pose, paws crossed. Maya wasn’t so into the lions, but, of course, she is very into her BOOF. Just this morning she woofed along with Lola’s highly inappropriate 6:15am bark-fest.
