Children's Museum

Sylvia and Eric visited the children's museum with some friends last week while I was at work. Before dropping them off, Sylvia said, "I want you to go to the museum with us." Unfortunately, I couldn't take the morning off so I decided to head back to the museum with them after naps. I had so much fun watching both of them play. It makes me look forward to the end of the school year when I will officially become a stay at home mom!

Eric enjoyed pushing the cart around but also got his pants quite dirty while doing plenty of crawling in the grocery store. Sylvia was able to go shopping for specific items and liked working the cash register.

We haven't been to the children's museum too often, but we spent more time in the doctor's office and ambulance than we ever have before. Sylvia has been playing doctor and vetranarian on a daily basis. She wanted to ride in the ambulance and she loved getting pretend x-rays taken and looking at the sample x-ray slides. Eric immediately knew what to do with a steering wheel.

Both kids tried out the airplanes. I love that Eric is getting old enough for them to play together some. Sylvia could use the foot petals to make the propeller go on the little airplanes. Eric had more fun using his hands to turn them around.

The farm has always been my favorite area of the children's museum. This was Eric's first time at the museum and he loved crawling through the tunnels...something Sylvia did not do at this age. There's a new fishing for letters area that Sylvia loved. She wanted to find letters to spell our names. It is so fun to watch her learn new things each day and to see her excitement for letters and reading.

When the museum closed, we headed over to see what was going on at the ice rink. Sylvia asked, "Why they aren't wearing helmets?" We've only seen hockey before and there were girls doing ice skating this time. Dan joined us and we finished the night out with a family dinner at Bennigans. It really was a perfect afternoon and evening. I love my family so much!!!
