The Zoo

One day, with Grandma and Grandpa, we went to the Zoo. The Zoo was kind of fun. It was a bit messy, not like the zoos in America. It had some animals, most of which live in Honduras, like owls, snakes, monkeys, deer, and even a jaguar. 

That's when Jonathan learned to say his first word other than Mama and Dada and Papa and Baba, and Mas which means more in Spanish. We were looking at the jaguar when Jonathan said “Cat.” We had never taught him that, so we thought maybe he didn't really know the word. But when we got back home, Jonathan saw our cat, and he said “Cat” (like this “Cah”) and he kept on saying it, every time he saw our cat, even when we gave him a toy cat. That's still his favorite word.

I would like to go back to the zoo again some day, even if it's not the most beautiful Zoo.
