Science Center Fun

Yesterday Kaiser and I joined friends at the Carnegie Science Center for our Thursday playgroup. The top floor has an "Exploration Station" designed specifically for the little ones with a water table, ball pit area, huge foam blocks, construction zone, etc. Now that our boy is a full-time walker, he enjoyed getting in on the action a little bit more and toddling from place to place. Sometimes Mommy had a hard time keeping up! Oh, we've only just begun...

I wasn't able to get that many great pics of the kidlet, and before long his runny nose/congestion started to catch up with him so he wasn't exactly in the best of moods, but here are some shots of him "sciencing". :)

The smock covered his entire body. So. Dang. Cute.

"Wait a second, there's water in there?"

"Okay, what's next?"

"I see the balls, but how exactly do I get to them?"

A little bit before noon, some other playgroup buds decided to go down to the planetarium to watch a Sesame Street movie called One World: One Sky. The comfy seats reclined so that you could look up at the domed ceiling, so Kaiser just laid back on me for 25 minutes and enjoyed watching Big Bird and Elmo as they taught him about the stars and the moon. By the end of the show, I could tell that

feeling a little icky + being in the dark + cuddling with Mommy =
one worn out kiddo.

"Do I have to get up?"

We ate lunch with a couple friends down in the cafe before heading home so this tired boy could get to nappin'. His congestion has amped up a bit today--my poor baby is a snotty mess--so I have a feeling we'll be laying pretty low the next couple of days and just focusing on getting back to 100%.
