Children's Museum

Josiah had a doctor's appointment last week (just his yearly and some shots he needed for Kindergarten), and afterwards we went to the children's museum. They had several new exhibits and the boys really enjoyed it.

Asher was in heaven with this new crane exhibit.

Josiah loved this new vacuum exhibit. You put scarves or balls into tubes (like at the bank drive-thru) and they fly around and eventually pop out.

And of course the boats are a favorite.

Our little Graduate

When Josiah was around 6 months old we signed him up for a reading program through the local library called "1000 books before Kindergarten." I was supposed to be writing down each book we read to him, but when he became so challenging, this program was the last thing on our mind. It was always in the back of my mind, but I rarely wrote anything down. We knew he was reading plenty of books as he reads himself, but it was still something I felt I had failed on.

We were invited to the graduation for that program so I spent a lot of time writing down all the books that we had in the house and got to 520 when I ran out of space. I decided to just go and hoped they didn't check his book.

When we were walking in I was making conversation with another mother and she was commenting on how on top of things I must be as I had our book with us. HAHAHA! So I just went along with it and said, "I brought it, but we ran out of pages." Then she said, "yeah, we had to get several book." OUCH!!!

They had a cute little program for the kids. The librarian read a couple of books and then they picked out t-shirts and mortar board caps. They played some music and had them walk down the aisle. Then they handed them little diplomas and a stack of books (to which Josiah said loudly, "I have that book at home!")

I'm determined to get Asher's book in line within the next year!!
