First Children's Museum Visit

Today we started off by taking Benjamin to the dentist because he was complaining that his tooth hurt when he eats or drinks something cold. I was relieved to find out that it is just a permanent tooth coming in. After annoyed at waiting over an hour in the dentist's office we headed out to the Pasadena main library to get some Laurie Berkner CDs that I thought the kids would enjoy. Some of the songs were from Laura's music class (Bee Bop 'n Tots). Then we went to the westside for the first time this trip to play at the Zimmer Children's Museum in the Jewish Federation building. Though it has been 5 years since I have been to this museum, all the exhibits seemed very much the same.

-Joshua here- First we went to play a play at the theater. Then we went downstairs and found some other good stuff, like the building blocks. There was a water play table where I tried to make a complete path from one end to the other. There was a Woody that had 5 buttons: two black, two white and one was red. The two black controlled his arms, the white controlled his legs and the red made him jump. You can do two buttons at a time as long as one of the button is not red. Oh yeah I went in the ambulence and also the airplane (see photo). I see the page is getting full here.

Mommy is back. Laura loved the toddler soft play area even though she was too big, and of course she loved the cafe which had lots of matzoh on the menu. [Joshua: When can you get back to my game. Moooommmmy. (ha ha ha)] We couldn't get Benjamin out of the ambulance or airplane. The dress up area with stage was a hit with the boys and Laura took charge of the ticket booth.

When we got back, the kids were excited to see that Grandpa had arrived. (Joshua: Getting bored of this activity, "bbbbbbbb bbbbbbb bbbbbb") Fortunately, Grandpa was not too tired after his long drive to play a cutthroat game of chess with Benjamin.
