Someone told me it's all happenin'

This week, Dirk learned to say a new word: "Giraffe."

So, Mummy bought him a toy giraffe.

Dirk loved it so much that today Mummy and Daddy took him to the zoo.

Here he is in the ticket queue, regarding the other children with unconcealed suspicion.

At this moment in Dirk's life, giraffes were four inches high and lions were a Flash animation. Boy, was he in for a surprise...

Penguins. No stammering.
What's Dirk seen...? A giraffe?
No! It's his new favourite. (And his latest word!!!)RHINO !
Dirk's picnic.


After lunch, Dirk saw elephants, cheetahs, bears, lions, chimps, wallabies, flamingoes and camels.
Here he's actually pointing at some strange little creatures hiding behind the bench. He gave chase, but they escaped his clutches!


Dirk enjoyed his trip to the zoo very much. Jasper slept.
