Fun at Children's Museum

We went to check out the new exhibit at the Children's Museum. It's all about Australia. Not much for the kids to do in the new exhibit, but Chloe liked learning about Australia and seeing where on the map it is in relation to where we are.

They mostly had fun playing in the grocery area. That is there favorite area in the whole museum. They never play "picnic" or food stuff at home, but they love it there. Chloe was very intense while picking out groceries, and then headed over to the cafe to become a chef and whip up some food for me.

And a Mom brag from me.....Caleb is now writing his name all by himself. So whenever he has paper and a pen he likes to write his name. He practiced writing it on paper at the Museum and then again on the chalkboard in the Cafe area. He is so proud of himself everytime he writes it.

I'm so proud of him. It's such a great feeling to see him doing such great things. Oh- can't really do a picture of it, but Chloe is now working on reading the word family lists. Like (cat, rat, bat, sat, hat, mat). We are working on one list a week. At night we read books that have lots of the words she is learning and she can now pick them out while we are reading the books. Such a big learning time right now.

All the frustration is worth it when they get that huge smile and realize they can do it.
