these are a few of my favorite things - Vacation part III


The next few days of vacation combined some of Sylvia's favorite things.

Favorite thing # 1: the swing


Grammy was more than willing to push Sylvie until she was tired of the swing (which can take hours....) Other children came and went, but our Sylvia out-lasted them all. We spent a good part of an afternoon at the little park while Daddy, Mark, and Chris went on a golf-outing, and Grammy brought Sylvia back to the swings on Thursday when Mommy and Daddy snuck out to dinner.


Favorite thing #2: Lions, Tigers, and Bears.....and all of the other animals

Unfortunately the day we went to Cape May Zoo was hot & humid and involved a slightly tired and cranky baby that wanted to be carried around the hot & humid zoo - but we still had fun and Sylvia got to see a lot of great animals. Grammy let her pick a stuffed animal from the gift store, and Sylvia picked a lion And a snake (somehow she snuck 2 animals). She also got a shirt that she will be able to wear next year to remember her trip to see the animals.

Sylvia's favorite verse (with the exception of "neigh neigh's"): Old MacDonald had a Farm EIEIO, and on that farm he had a rooster EIEIO, with a doodle-doodle-doo and a doodle-doodle-doo, here a doodle, there a doodle...
Favorite thing #3: lounging in front of the TV with Daddy; can you say Teletubbies?

Sylvia often catches a show or two amidst her busy schedule of crayons, puzzles, books, and bubbles, and the list of those that will hold her attention have expanded to include Sesame Street, Curious George, Mickey Mouse, Caillou, and I cringe as I write this, Barney. However, she still smiles for good old Teletubbies, and I'm pretty sure she would be content watching anything with Daddy (maybe even golf?!)
