55 Minutes to Fun

Today we had such a wonderful morning. We went to the Children's Discovery Museum with your friend Abby and her parents Emily & Ryan. You and I usually go to the museum every Sunday but this week they had a "Healthy Family Fair" today so we decided to go a day early!

Well, you love the museum, but like any other thing in your life, it takes you just under an hour to warm up to your environment. That philosophy works fine at park play dates and the museum, because we could stay there for hours and after clinging to my leg (or any of my good friends' legs) you then decide "It's time to start having some fun!" I love it when you suddenly come out of your shell and next thing you know you are running around the playground or exploring toys or pulling out all the books from wherever we are. Attending the 1 hour My Gym sessions on the other hand, were not a lot of fun when considering your 55 minute warm up, so we've opted out of continuing those since you never really had any fun there anyways.

So today we spent a perfect afternoon out in the grass in a shady spot filled with beach balls. Abby had a blast kicking balls and rolling on top of them. You preferred sitting in Emily's lap and munching Mighty Bites. But we stayed there about 2 hours which meant you came out of your shell...so a perfect day indeed.
