My mother has been sending newspaper clippings to The Boy about Tai Shan, the National Zoo's panda cub also known as Butterstick. So The Boy was pretty eager to see Tai Shan in person on his most recent visit. Tai Shan is an active youngster. He was climbing a tree when we first stopped by to see him.
The panda yard is divide by a wall. Tai Shan was on one side with one parent and the other parent was on the other side of the wall. It just seemed obvious to me that Tai Shan was being kept with his mother, but The Boy insisted that Tai Shan was playing with his dad.
I love the boy.
