2012_01_16 Monday

Jonathan didn't have school today so we went on an adventure to the Brooklyn Children's Museum. We were there for about 4 hours. They have a cute toddler-only area with a large water table, a music tunnel/bridge, stuffed animals/costumes, and a blue sparkly sand table. I probably should have done the sand BEFORE the water table!! They both really enjoyed that whole area. We also explored the rest of the space: a green house, various habitats, and a full exhibit on circles that was a little too advanced for J (or he was tired from everything else). After snack/lunch, I was pretty tired, so we bundled back up and went home.

The best part (for me) was that it was free for us b/c of reciprocity to other museums!!!

We came home so Elise could nap and we could relax. And, then Jonathan had swim class at night. He's doing great. He will jump in from the side onto a noodle (including getting his face wet). He paddles and kicks with a float-y dumbbell or noodle under his arms. But, he won't put his head under to pick up rings (he's figured out how to get them with his toes). And, I'm working on getting him to wear goggles...in the tub first...then in the pool.

It was a nice day.
