A Little Bit of Magic

Today Joseph and I went on a date. Just the two of us. We went to one of his favorite places, The Magic House. It's this really cool children's museum in St. Louis. It's a perfect place for a hands-on 2 year old. We became members late last fall, and I'm ashamed to say that we've only been once. Since we had Elise in January, I made several attempts to take Joseph, but those attempts were foiled by snowy weather or scheduling conflicts. They have a cool exhibit coming next week with trains, so I'm sure we'll be back soon.

I was very impressed by Joseph's good behavior. I figured that since there were a million kids running around, he'd be a little hellion, but he really surprised me! We had a ton of fun. One of the neatest exhibits was a giant bubble wand. He stood on a little platform and pulled a lever that lifted the wand up around his body so that he was encased in a bubble! They also had a huge sparkly sand exhibit that he always enjoys.

One of my favorite things about The Magic House is its accessibility to kids. There are so many details geared towards little people. For example, the railings on the stairs are really thin to be easy for little hands. Also, the restrooms have little pottys, which really come in handy when you're trying to potty train! :)
