Mama got a groupon to take us to a kids' museum. So on one of our many days off of school this fall, we decided to try it out. It wasn't so much a museum as an office building. Every room had a different theme and it actually turned out to be a nice time.
We tried out the animal room. No one wanted to touch or pet the rabbit, bird, or lizard they had out. Actually, Jo gave each animal a one finger pet.
Remember how mama says "yes" now? That includes touching animals. So she offered a hand to show us how fun it can be. Then she wanted a picture to show everyone that she held a dragon. A Chinese water dragon, at least. After that room, we all headed to the bathroom to wash our hands and reaffirm that we really are not a pet family.
Henry found out the hard way that this museum is really geared toward preschoolers, but did a good job keeping himself happy. And the museum was small enough that he could explore where he wanted while mama was trapped in the princess room with Jo.
That is one little girl who really likes her princess costume. She really loved that tiara too.
And she didn't seem to mind that mama put it on backward accidentally.
When she tired of the princess dress, she switched over to a dance costume.
And dancing in high heel shoes while she watched herself spin in the mirror. (By the way, if I ever mention flip flops to you, I really mean high heel shoes. and I've put a tremendous amount of effort into making sure mama wears a pair to Aunt Jill's wedding. I actually have quite a lot riding on this wedding. It's my one chance to prove that mama can act like a girl.)
Next up, Snow White. Because I'm June, I obviously refused to try on any outfits, but did have a good time reading all the princess books in the room. I was so impressed that I ONLY pick out "beautiful books" at the library now. Those, and any insect book I can find/
I did lift my dress-up embargo in "grandma's room," where mama found a white dress and a veil and I pretended for a moment to be a bride.
