Jaxon woke at 7:30 which was marvelous. Swapped with Will at 9 instead of 8 but was not disturbed until 1pm 😭😭😭😭😭😭
So joyful.
The big boof fell asleep at 10 and had a 3 hour nap 🙌🏼🙌🏼
At first I was worried we couldn't go to the zoo because it was storming earlier but the sun was now out so off we went.
We had to swap at London bridge so we decided to get the overground again.
The system is shocking in comparison. Our train got delayed 3 times.
We got off the train then got on the underground to Camden town walked 20 mins then found the entrance.
YAY I LOVE ZOOS.
Our commbank travel card was down again - like 5th time it's happened as we have gone to pay for something so Will had to use his other card - yay more expenses. Tickets are not cheap but Jax is free woo.
But first, food.
Surprisingly few child friendly options but we managed.
Stupidly expensive as you would expect.
We saw Penguins, lions, camels, aadvarks, porcupine, meerkats, giraffe, okapi, pigmy hippos, warthog, otter, reindeer, monkeys, apes, lots of birds, insects and reptiles.
There was also a lemur enclosure you could walk in which I loved last time and loved again.
Also a dinosaur 'travel back in time Section' which Jaxon liked.
Lots of pointing happened today 😁hahah
His highlight for sure was the petting zoo where he hugged a lot of goats 😍😍 he was so gentle it was great.
Train home was interesting.
It was peak hour and Jaxon is such a social thing he was grabbing everyone's stuff and waving and just being such a flirt. The lady next to us LOVED him.
He wanted some of her banana so she ripped off a bit of skin for him and gave it too him.... ermmm thanks?
Naturally he tried to eat it and I had to carry a dirty skin for ages 😶
He liked pulling her hair too which she let him do.
He did a poo though so he was stinking the place out and it was awkward for me hahah
- we folded the pram up for peak hour so he was just on my lap.
When we got home we facetimed Jess and then ate.
We didn't bother putting Jax down early but when we did at 9:30 he fell asleep straight away WOOOOOHOOOoooooooooo!!!!!
We watched some judge Judy and I'm now in bed.
I like my off duty nights because I can listen to Harry Potter :)
Also, I keep thinking the little hooks everywhere look like octopus' - will upload photo a different day (if I remember)
This morning Jax nearly burnt his friggen hand off because he somehow turned on the heater by some magical switch.
We still don't know how he did it and have turned the heating off at the main switchboard thingy. Or at least Will did. But how dangerous!!Read more
