B is finally nearing the age where we can take advantage of some of the fun exhibits and museums in the area. We met a friend and her two boys at the Discovery Museum for some rainy day exploring. B still doesn't get too much out of the excellent displays and interactive exhibits, but he can finally play with them and explore! There was a Golden Book exhibit at the museum that cleverly incorporated some of the classic books into activity centers for the children.
...play with trains...
B did pretty well at the museum, which made me more confident in taking him other places like it. As long as I have lunch ready for him in the car, he's happy. It was also his first experience with baked cheetos (part of my lunch)...there was orange on his shoes, his legs, his shorts, his shirt, his forehead, his hair, his hands, his car seat...but he loved 'em!

I'm so glad B enjoyed the day! It took me a while to realize that "less is more" when it comes to small children. This exhibit is just the right size. Speaking of size, my kids and I still prefer the local park district petting zoo to the big famous zoo an hour away. You guys should check out R.O. There's a coupon online at Oaklees' :)
