Bundled up for cold weather; zoo

Over the past couple of weeks we've had some unusually cold weather here. Of course, that would not deter Nikolas from insisting to go outside to the park. On more than one occasion he was the only kid in the park--the cold couldn't stop Grandpa from fulfilling his grandson's wishes :)
Back at the house Grandma and Grandpa are his best friends now. Mommy is only there to feed him (besides 'hi mommy', his most common words to me are 'num-nummy'='I want to eat.')
Grandma is Nikolas's favorite book reader (Grandpa is high up there too), and Grandpa does 'ridey-ridey' best (bouncing Nikolas as he sits on Grandpa's ankle like a horse).

Spending time with his grandparents has significantly improved Nikolas's English--he now manages full sentences in English and even speaks English to me most of the time. He'll say things like, I want to sit on that chair; it's delicious :); butterflies up in the sky; daddy go to work; Nikolas go to park; see you later alligator; monkeys in the zoo, etc. Speaking of the zoo, he's been to the local one twice already and loved it both times. His favorite animals were monkeys, parrots and porcupines.
