i thought this was a cute photo.. until I upload it.. and realized it looks like her trying to crawl out of a vagina!!
Today we went to Imagine childrens museum.. a little play date with my child who can now walk.. I say that because last time we were there.. she was not walking.. and I left the building with two arms that felt like jello.. (this is a stroller free zone)..
and let me tell you.. going with a child that can motor around was waybetter.. and I saw things that I hadn’t even noticed last time.. we walked in and right away she clung to my neck.. Lord have Mercy I thought.. I just paid $15.00 (ouch) to get in.. and she is going to want none of it.. so we started to cruise around.. and we saw the giant train set.. it is huge.. and while I could feel myself getting frustrated with a child around my neck.. I stopped.. took a breath.. and literally said out loud..
bring it down to her level..
and so I did.. I just sat on the floor with her while she watched.. and the boys knocked her around.. and she finally realized I wasn’t going anywhere.. and she started to leave my side.. (thank you!) we started to check out some of the other exhibits.. and next thing I knew.. her strut came out in full force.. and its was all “come here mommy” “come here mommy”.. we were on a roll..
she loved it.. everything about it.. everything was on her eyesight level.. directed to her age group.. and we had a great time.. I also never realized that there was a downstairs.. so down we went.. and it was a giant craft room! everyone gets to make a craft per day.. and so we went and made a calendar for daddy’s office..
I didnt think she would get it.. and boy was i wrong.. she blew me away with how good she sat on the little stool.. she would paint.. and then use felts.. and put them back each time she was done using them.. we used glue sticks.. and stickers.. and we actually walked out of there with a little calendar for the daddy..
hello picture 6! a giant connect 4 board!! my favorite game in the world!!
needless to say.. we will be back.. it was fun.. interactive.. and they had that cool dance wall like at science world.. I kept trying to drag her in.. but she wanted the trains :( Papas gift to Olive this year for Christmas was “quality time” and this will definitely be it.. he is going to get a membership for one year.. and take her as often as he likes for some nice one on one time.. not that he has to take her for a whole year.. lol.. me and daddy will sub in!
and now.. I nap..while she naps..
a sneak peak for my new nursery inspiration!! cause this mama is a nestin’
ahh.. perfection!
