We spent this past long weekend with our 19 month old daughter exploring the world through her eyes. On Saturday we looked at Dinasaur bones at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. She was amazed. Her eyes wide in wonderment as she spurted WOW. We are also learning animal sounds, so if you weren't aware- apparently the Tyranouas Rex said Moo and the Brontosauraus went Meow.
On Sunday we went to the National Colonial Farm. We explored our skills at animal sounds a little more. Cows though still say moo and sheep baa.
My husband and I had the day off yesterday for Columbus day. We took our little cherub to the National Aquarium in Baltimore where we explored the world of fish. A was so amused by the colorful fish. She was more amused however to run down the ramps in the shark exhbit and scream. We also liked running around in the shaded bocci ball court in little Italy eating Gelatto.
Everyday is a new adventure with A. It's amazing watching her exploring her world and seeing how things work. How a stick to me, is a new amazing toy to her. How dinasaurs can be farm animals. How amazing it is to stop and smell flowers.
A was a surprise to my husband and I. For 8 years it had been just us, going where we wanted when we wanted. And now we couldn't imagine life without her. We get to be kids again. And sometimes I wonder who is teaching who.....
