This one is more for Caleb and Sophia’s friends than anyone else!

#1 Favorite: Cats
Since the weather was cool during our visit to the zoo, we had the opportunity to see the big cats up and moving.  After touring the cat complex, Caleb could tell you the difference between tigers, jaguars, lions, and pumas.

#2 Favorite: Sharks
The aquarium at Henry Doorly Zoo is fabulous.  It probably helps that we had Sophia singing the Jaws theme song.  It started several years ago when Caleb was learning different actions for various animals.  Somehow sharks evolved into tickle monsters at our house and the tickling kind of sharks stuck around.  Two years later, Caleb still screeches and runs when he hears the Jaws theme song because he knows tickling is coming.  Now that Sophia pretending to be different animals, there’s not much cuter than a one-year old pretending to be a shark and going to tickle her daddy or big brother.

Honorable Mention: Giraffes
