Children's Museum Playdate







Since Colby is out of school this week I have been trying to keep him busy and entertained and we are trying to take advantage of our extra time together and go do fun things. As you recall Monday we did the zoo, Tuesday we went to the park, yesterday was church, so today was a free day. We found out his bunk beds weren't being delivered until this afternoon and a friend told me she was taking her 2 girls to the Children's Museum. We figured this would be a good thing for us to do as well. We hadn't been in awhile. Its always fun to bring him each time and see what is his favorite and what all he can do. He's changed so much since the first time we brought him. He used to mainly stay in toddler room the whole time. He still likes that but he enjoys some of the other stuff now too.



We always go to the toddler room first so he checked out everything in there. He loves the slides and the cushy steps. He ran around, bounced around and had a grand ole time. He then started saying "go shopping" so we went to the little grocery. I am glad we went when we did b/c soon after we got in there it started getting crazy. He shopped for about 10 minutes then we put it all away to let the other kids have turns. There were 2 field trips there so it was a little crazy. He then found the boat section and played in there awhile. Its funny too he used to be so intimidated of other kids he would not have enjoyed himself but today he was right in the midst of them. I think going to school this year is why he's so comfortable around lots of kids. It was cute to watch him running around and pretending to "drive" the boats. He interacted with the bigger kids too trying to mimic what they were saying/doing. He visited the Mr. Rogers section for a little while too and enjoyed the letter boxes that you can open up. He also liked all the buttons. We didn't see our friends until the very end. I figured we were in opposite parts of the museum the whole time. But I try to let Colby go where he wants when we are there. So we finally ran into them at the end in the bathroom and only got to visit for a few minutes before we were all ready to go. Colby kept calling out "firetrucks" he remembered the little cars they have downstairs so we went and I showed him those and he climbed in and out of those for awhile. I am sure he could have stayed another hour but we left because I wanted to get home to have time to get some stuff done before lunch/nap! I am so glad we went though we had a wonderful morning and it was just so fun for me to see him having such a fun time!
