Olivia has found interest in various animals during her 14-month life - puppies and kittens, of course, butterflies, lions, bees, cows - she doesn't discriminate. She has lovingly patted and affectionately named pretty much any species that appears repeatedly in books for babies. Recently she spent the night with the Heyer clan and they bought her a new book. It features a host of various baby animals asking their mothers to carry them (apparently human children are not alone in this request...?). The book was laying out the other day when Olivia pointed to the picture on the back of a basket containing five baby animals. "Lemur!" she said proudly. Having not read the book to her yet (and not entirely sure if I'd heard her correctly) I took a closer look at the animal that was clearly...a raccoon? I flipped through the book until I came to the "raccoon" page. "Mommy lemur, will you carry me on your tummy to keep me cozy and safe?"
Having successfully added another word to her "animal" file, you might guess what animal exhibit we made sure to hit at the zoo on Monday:
*Notice the book in Olivia's hand? It's open to the lemur page...
