To say Elise enjoyed the museum is probably accurate, if by enjoy you mean spend much of the time just staring. So much for her to see -- fascinating sites, inside the building and out, hundreds of kids (for some reason I had envisioned the museum as being pretty much to ourselves) and plenty of other new things. It's a pretty impressive place, not that I have much to compare it to, but there are several floors, different exhibits and some "habitot," or something like that, for little ones like Elise.
She made it about 1.5 hours before we decided to hit the road. It was getting crowded -- and the last straw might have been the annoying kid in the water area whose name was Silas. Ugh.
Afterward, we headed to Cossetta's for a couple of slices. (Elise likes pizza, but I think this was the first time she has not had homemade pizza.)
Icing on the (birthday) cake: An afternoon walk by the lake in the sun and 40-degree-plus temperatures. Good times.
Here are some museum photos:
I couldn't help but notice all of the teeth marks on these white styrofoam blocks. Egh.
She's crawled through toy tunnels before, but wouldn't give it a try today.
She liked the big windows looking out to the saintly city.
Nice picture. Next time, we'll pull up her sagging britches first.
Why am I the one who looks like I'm learning to walk?
A benefit of being, well, not tall: You don't have to bend over to grab little outstretched hands.
You have to watch that girl; she'll eat the suds if you let her.
She is beginning to like playing with water, outside of bath time.

The picture of Elise pointing out the window is a replica of one that I took of Randy when he was about 2 yrs old at the same place . I'll have to show it to you some time. We had a great time at her Birthday party. Laura
