melissa, tim and jenny in front of the shark tankTimothy's grandparents took Timothy to the Cape Town Aquarium and invited his Aunt Melissa and I along. It's a great museum with tank after tank of beautiful fish, artificial waves for the penguins, a hands-on area where you can touch things from the see like seaweed and shells, and a play area with sand. Tim was very impressed with the whole place. He sat for a long time on Melissa's lap watching the penguins. All of us were using 'Wow!' to describe new tanks, and at one point Tim piped in with a very clear 'Wow!' of his own. He hasn't repeated it, so I'm not counting it as a first word.

Friends of Jenny's, Lizzie and Alister, live in a beautiful old cottage in Onrus, a coastal town not far from Cape Town and very close to Hermanus where whales are often seen this time of year. We spent the day with them yesterday, playing on the beaches, eating a fabulous lunch, and even going in to Hermanus and seeing whales. Jenny's friends know as much about Timothy as the family, and I think of them as part of the extended family. They showered Timothy with attention and gifts. We had a delightful time with them.
