Going to the Children's Museum

Either it was the fact that Trevor is at the perfect age to go to the Children's Museum, or the fact that it currently is featuring Curious George, which Trevor loves to watch, or he went during one of his really good moods. OR...we got a combination of all three.





From the time we entered the parking ramp, until we left, we spent 3 1/2 hours there. Amazing since I'm not even wanting to do anything other than sleep for that length of time. Trevor was his usual "scared" self as soon as the mascot Curious George was anywhere nearby, but did love the statue, balloon, and any other picture he saw. We then went to the "Habitot" room where he only has another 3 months before he is "legally" kicked out. It was a good place to run around, through tunnels, pretend you are a frog....all around good time.





We ate a quick lunch at McD's, then went right back to the museum. We got him into a child-size town. They had a bus, stoplight, post office, grocery store, doctor's office, marketplace/restaurant, and a music video studio. I was amazed at how Trevor loved to watch himself on TV in the music studio and just play his guitar. He also LOVED delivering and mailing letters. He even got to live out his dream of being a car for a little bit when he watched the stoplight for a bit.



We spent just a little time in the craft area where he painted a picture and played with some finger paint. We completely passed over another section of the museum that he would have had fun with, but it was fast approaching naptime. And boy could you see it in his eyes. We were able to buy T's first Curious George book, and ever since then, he has been asking when we can go back. Both Bubba and Dad would like to take him back, and that's sure fine with me. It was VERY crowded, but it is set up very nicely for kids his age. I'm sure it won't be long before he's back again. Maybe as a date for when the new baby arrives. Until then, every time he sees Curious George, he loves to say that he saw him...and that he now has his book. What a cute kid!
