Lately the boys have found themselves carted all over creation while mommy gets her errands done. Most days they are wonderful but occasionally they just hate it. I try to concentrate it all into a day or two per week so that they can be free to play on the other days but I can only do what I can do:) This was one of the best days we have had. Mike napped and Ricky watched his favorite shows while mommy got one thing after another marked off of her list.
Ricky had his first Pre-School field trip to the Discovery Childrens Museum in SLC. Mike came along as Ricky's +1 and it was fun. This is a picture of the boys in the UofU lifeflight helicopter they had out on their roof. It was an old one that was retired so much of the control panel still worked. Ricky LOVED being a helicopter pilot for a few minutes. Mikey loved being held and loved by his big brother.
Amazing the things you can discover! Ricky played at the wind tunnel display for over a 1/2 hour. He just thought it was amazing that something would stay aloft and eventually make its way to being airborne.
Water....that is all Ricky needs to have a great time indoors. I wont let him play in the bathroom sinks so he was thrilled that he could play with this indoor water display. He cranked buckets up and over an edge causing water to spill by just using a lever. He hated sharing it with other kids but made an exception for his little buddy Nye.
Paper folded in just a few places=heaven for this kid. There were hundreds of exhibits with thousands of dollars worth of equipment and what do you think was his favorite section? Yep, the stack of white paper with directions for how to make a paper airplane, This was the section that got the majority of Ricky's time and attention. I love that it doesn't take much to engage his little mind. He often reminds me so much of Jacob in that way.
Bah Bah Black Sheep....Ricky dressed up as a black sheep for the theater area of the children's museum.
Such a funny boy! He really wanted to put on a production for everyone watching.
