Since it was a gazillion degrees here today, we wanted something that was both fun and indoors. So, we were off to the museum again. The boys liked the weather exhibits and some of the ones with shapes and music, but the big hits of the day were 1) finding the kid-sized drinking fountains, 2) riding the elevator ("egg-a-da", as Matthew calls it -- he speaks so clearly these days that I think it's cute when he doesn't quite get a word!), and 3) they had a computer set up where you could look up the weather anywhere in the country, but the cursor was in the shape of a galloping horse. Mattie loved moving the horse around with the trackball and didn't want to leave. So, again, good thing those scientists spent so much time developing all those exhibits! :)We were outside for a bit looking at the animals, but it was too hot to be there for long. (We didn't even make it to the dinosaurs this time!) We also rode the train, which was fun as always. They're constantly adding new things to see on the route, and one of the latest is this school of metallic fish "swimming" through the forest.
One of James's new phrases today was, "One more time!" (It's also so cute when he says, "All right!" because it's always with great enthusiasm!) And of course he's picked up "my turn", perhaps because that's one of Mattie's current favorites. He seems to be putting together more three and even some four word sentences these days. Go, James!
And tonight at bedtime Mattie said, "I love my mommy." Can't beat that for a wonderful sentence!
