The Next Generation
David and I are expecting our first child this spring, and I can’t wait to introduce our baby to the Dumbo family. We’ve already started talking to my belly during our daily elephant visits, and I swear Dumbo knows something special is happening.
He’s become incredibly protective of me lately, positioning himself between me and any perceived threats, even imaginary ones. Yesterday, he wouldn’t let me clean near the water area because he decided it was “too slippery” for a pregnant lady.
“You’re going to be the best uncle,” I tell him, and he preens with pride.
Our child will grow up knowing that love comes in all forms, that patience can work miracles, and that sometimes the most broken souls have the most love to give.
