You can't imagine how many things there are to do in just one museum - and we didn't even make it to the 3rd floor with the water tables! There is building and climbing and cars and buttons and balls and arts and trains and lights and slides and noises and puppets and sand and...
It is the perfect places to spend a rainy or cold afternoon and just like we got a ton of use out of our membership to the other museums last year, it will be nice to switch it up and learn every inch of this building. Maybe we can switch off year by year to keep it fresh.
Even though I wanted to spend more time in the art room, Riley was on a mission to re-explore all the fun things he remembered from last time. And boy did he have fun! In a museum where you are encouraged to touch everything you possibly can, it is pretty much a 2-year-old heaven!
All of that and I can literally see him learning things in front of my eyes. He was playing with a mini circuit and once I showed him to connect the red and black wires, he wanted to test them out on everything - trying to get all of the lights to light up.
He even took a pass at climbing up the "You Must Be 5 Years Old to Climb This" net. This is about as far as he got on his own, but with a few pushes and shoves from mommy - who felt like a monkey - we made it to the top and Riley took the twirly slide on his own.
So thank you Safta and Zadie for this awesome gift! I know we will have fun exploring the Children's Museum and we can't wait to show you around if you ever find yourself if the neighborhood!
