A Bit of Everything

  So I haven't posted for a while about the kids or anything since pretty much January so two months have gone by and there have been lots of changes but nothing major just the kids growing up. :P I am not sure who told them they could do that but I dont think it was me. Rivers hair is now long enough to put it up in ponytails if I can keep her sitting still long enough lol.

 Then we went to science world here and can I say wow Carsten was so completely enthralled with it. I think he would have lived there if I had let him. He was not really impressed with me when I said it was time to go. this pixal wall was a big hit which I never would have thought of the the water center that is right behind it that you can't see was very popular with this little boy.

 The Dinosaur skeletons were a big hit with Carsten and River but they also had animatronic(sp?) ones as well and Carsten hated them. I did get him to go through the dinosaur room because I knew there would be activities he would like and by the end of it he was happy to go back but when they roar he was not very impressed which surprised me I figured that would be one of his favorites.
I have to say that this train once Carsten found it was the one thing he would not leave. It was really fun trying to get him to leave something that he was that interested in. So if I pick one thing that Carsten loved at Science World this would be it, the problem was that there were lots of other kids that wanted to do this one to. I think once Carsten turns 3 this will be where we get a membership to which makes me a bit sad as I love the aquarium but the amount of time that could be spent here and how interested the kids were with it. Kind of hard to beat. Plus the staff were amazing and there is a mommy break area that corals the young kids so I can take a break know that they wont get out of that area until I take them and they can play with the different areas in there.

Now River has decided she is going to be big like Carsten she will no longer sit on her booster she must sit on an actual chair. She wants to walk if Carsten is walking (and sometimes when he doesn't want to walk.) She wants to sit on the potty not that she does anything but she wants to sit there now and the biggest thing that has changed is she has started mimicking Carstens tantrums. Not as loud but she is definitely making her displeasure known. Also the rocking horse that is to big for her has become her favorite toy to play with I swear she will sit on it for hours. lol . :)              

 I have also been trying to come up with new things for Carsten to do well River naps. That are quiet. So we went with baking soda art. He gets to create craters in the baking soda with colored vinegar it was quite a hit. :)   So now you are caught up hopefully I start to do this more regularly I am hoping to take the kids to the park today and maybe go by the "once upon a time" set if they are filming maybe I will get lucky. :)
