when I started this blog five years ago, I was a pet sitter and the name animal-crackers made sense. now I'm a stay-at-home-dad and freelance writer, but rather than confuse everyone by getting a different blog, it's just easier to keep posting things here.

Happy Birthday!

Joshie turned 4 years old last week, and on Saturday he got a big party.




















Nearly 40 people showed up. Mostly because of Josh, but a few wanted to see the animals from the Capital Area Zoo.















Since it was Josh's special day, he was the zookeeper's special helper. Here he is petting a chinchilla and her two babies.




















Everyone got to see a baby wallaby, a blue-and-gold macau, a python, African pied crow and a blue-tongued lizard named Sausage.

Afterward, we enjoyed cupcakes (courtesy Andy) and Josh opened his presents.




















Perhaps the cutest moment was at the end of the animal presentation. Josh raised his hand. The zookeeper said "Yes Josh, you have something to say?"

"I just want to say this is the best birthday party ever."

His parents are too bad either.

Aw! That's one to remember when he's 15 and blowing you off because you're so not with it.
