The weather was absolutely beautiful this weekend (very welcome after a record-breaking week), and Sorin, Mum, and Dad were very busy. Today we visited the Children's Museum for the first time. It's on the west side, so we took a "buh" to get there when it opened (not to be confused with the buhs that travel up and down the river, the buhs that you throw, the buhs that you blow, or the buhs that hold milk). Sorin was quite insistant that he sit in his own seat, and did so quite proudly. The museum itself is sort of a play/learn space. On the first floor they had an "exhibit" devoted to Clifford the Big Red Dog. Being a dog-lover Sorin thought this was awesome (although the concept of Clifford as a character was bit beyond him). There was a huge fiberglass Clifford to climb on, a dog house to explore, instruments to play, and much more. On the other floors there were blocks, art stations, taxi and bus replicas, and book themed areas. Oh, and outside there was a water exhibit, which was a big hit. We will definitely have to return.
After the museum we had a quick brunch and then Sorin passed out in his stroller on the walk home (via a street fair). Unfortunately, as seems to be the case most weekends, his nap was short, but that didn't seem to phase him. We headed over to St. Catherine's Park to hang out with misting elephants and play in the sand box. Let's just say Sorin needed a good bath tonight!
