Busy Day

Today was a busy day. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera at home and, thus, we have no photos to document our fun. Daddy seems to think this was on purpose, so that no one could see that he actually spent time with us.

We started our day off at the Columbia Museum of Art, for "Family Fun Day." Calder continued his tradition of wailing and thrashing anytime inside a museum. Milo wasn't too keen on the art projects offered today, somewhat enjoyed looking at the paintings on exhibit, and was only marginally interested in the jazz education program. The musicians were okay (and not so jazzy)--no "Lunch Money" as far as Milo was concerned--and so we quickly grew bored of today's offerings at the museum.

Thankfully, our lovely library (just a block away) was hosting free performances of "Wild Things Whirligig", a musical show loosely based on the author Maurice Sendak's books. Amazingly, both Milo AND Calder sat through this hour long performance. Calder was frightened at one point by the Wild Things and Daddy had to usher him out of the theater with "Blue" for a short while. But otherwise, the boys seemed to enjoy the show and Milo seemed enchanted by meeting the actors afterwards. The best part (for Justin and me) was that we each got to hold a boy for over an hour when they weren't asleep!
