Children's Museum

We had another "Colby" day today. We took him to toddler time at the Children's Museum. This was his first time to ever go. I think he really enjoyed it. We spent about 30 minutes in the toddler area. I think this was his favorite. There was plenty of stuff to climb on and play with. The actual toddler time though I was a little dissapointed. They were supossed to read a story and then do whip cream art. The lady read this book fish eyes and had some things for the kids to touch and feel. But you could hardly hear her reading and then she took all the stuff away like immediately when she finished the book. I just expected her to talk and relate to the kids more. Colby really wanted to play with the instruments but she kinda scolded him for putting them up to his mouth. I mean he's 1 really? Oh well the rest of the time was good. He was actually a little upset to leave the toddler area we probably should have just let him stay in there it was age appropriate for him.

He liked scattering groceries in the grocery store but really didn't get the idea of shopping. They had some New Orleans type playhouse for the kids to play in and he really liked that. Especially the shot gun b/c he would just run from one end to the other. There was a section with boats that he liked pretty well too but he got upset when none of them would make noise! The Mr. Rogers part was also a hit. He liked watching Mr. Rogers on the Tvs so we got him a Mr. Roger's DVD when we left! I actually can't wait to watch that one either b/c I loved that show! He also enjoyed the bubble room but mainly wanted to play in the bubble solution more then anything. So after a fit about leaving that and having to put down the trains I knew it was time to go. But I think all in all he had a good time and he will enjoy it more and more the older he gets. Most of the museum is about "pretend" play so once he is into that he will have a blast. By that time we will probably have to get a membership.
