We went to the zoo. Mikey actually spent a lot of time with the primates in the "main" zoo. He went from exhibit to exhibit, pronouncing the name of each animal, mostly correctly. He did take a while with "margay" - it came out "magray" several times, but we got it right in the end. (David went off to other parts of the zoo with Grandpa.) He went back through all the exhibits about 4 times. The last time through, he climbed up on the fence and reached over to touch the sign with the animal names. This is a behavior we see various places - on TV especially. He'll watch and rewind tapes and rewatch, touching a particular character, and pronoucing its name.
On the way to the zoo, we observed an airplane takeoff, and it started a conversation that David wanted to join. I asked him if I could take him on an airplane someday.
"No, thank you," he said.
"Ah, please?"
"No. The airplane might crash." [David has gotten over many but certainly not all of his fears.]
"Even if we get to go somewhere fun?"
Pause. "No. I'm actually more of a Hobbit," he advised me.
