Many of the schools around here started up today. This is the season we like! The Children's museum is so much more enjoyable without hundreds of older kids everywhere!
We had to check out the video game area, as we often do. Jack is attempting to play some sort of giant-sized Tetris game!
Here's Jack playing on the cool light-up floor. This particular activity entails stepping on the different colors and hearing different animal sounds!
Another activity setting makes the whole board a big piano/percussion instrument. The kids had fun making music! This game system would be fun to have at home, but who in the world has room in their house for it?
Jack really wanted to be crowned King!
Checking out the shadows his magic wand creates.
Here's Cal playing in the "faux-sand" box. This is one of the areas in which the older children tend to take over and make things a lot less fun for the little kids (which, really, the sand box is targeted toward younger kids anyway!) There were still a few older kids left wandering around today and there were a few in here that had teamed up to collect all the "sand" and make a huge pile for themselves on the other side of the sandbox. The younger children who were trying to play had to scrape little bits off the floor to find any to play with! Slightly annoying...
Here are Callie and Jack enjoying a meal in the Berenstain Bear's restaurant. Jack had to push through a bunch of older kids to get two plates and some food. This just shows how far he has come! He used to avoid other children like the plague. He is doing so much better about tolerating noise and will even reply sometimes when children talk to him! He was willing to squeeze by the kids to get what he wanted, and that is a big step for him!
The play food they have at the museum is so life-like! Callie's sandwich looks good enough to eat! We'll probably head back to the museum next week when all the schools have started. It will be so nice to have the place to ourselves again!
