Children's Museum

Dave came up with a special rattle for Collin.....


I bet he's wishing it's real!


Our Children's Museum pass was about to expire so we decided to take the kids one last time this weekend. They were both a little unsure about the dinosaur exhibit. Anna all of a sudden is afraid of things. She will cry, "that scare me!"


Even unsure, she's still adorable!


Dinosaur egg!


Collin enjoyed laying in the stroller, taking in all the new sights.


Anna the turtle!


Watch out for Benjamin's roar!


Those are some big turtle hands!


When Collin got fussy laying in the stroller, we decided to try the kangaroo position in the sling for the first time. He seemed to really enjoy it!


All aboard!


I asked them to smile at me for the picture. One out of three isn't too bad, I guess. Notice anything different? :)


Dave got the same result when smiles were requested......They really enjoyed watching the trains.


Benjamin and Anna would declare, "Here it comes!" when a train would come into view.



Playing under the trains....


Waiting for a Sesame Street movie to start in the planetarium. Elmo and Big Bird would tell you to imagine they go to the moon and such and Benjamin would get a really serious look on his face and tap his index finger to his forehead. After the movie he asked me if he did a good job imagining. :)


The trip was a lot of fun, but wore them out!

----------------------------------
Funny Benjamin Story: Collin had gone back to sleep when Dave left for work today, so he asked Benjamin to give Collin a kiss for him when he woke up. Benjamin was sitting with him on the floor later and he gave him the kiss from Daddy and then told him, "Daddy's at work. But we are here with you, Collin. We won't leave you. We don't even have a work for us to go to."
----------------------------------
Anna is starting to recognize some letters, shapes, and colors. She has been surprising me with conjugating and will put words like 'aren't' into sentences. I let them stay up late for naps today b/c they were playing so nice and I was boxing up the kitchen (we move on Friday, yay!). When Anna started to get fussy, I'd say "Okay, I think you guys need to take a nap." From the other room, she'd come running in and emphatically say, "No we don't. We don't need a nap."
