Looking at the past few posts, I'm realizing why it is said that the kitchen is the center of the home. However, we do other things besides just eating.

Last Saturday our crew went on an outing to the Children's Museum with a couple of friends. It was fun to see how the kids perceived work in the building and construction-themed activity stations. They seemed to have a great time. I learned something about each of the kids from watching them. E is a great observer and understands more than we sometimes think at his young age, L chose to work alone building elaborate block structures for part of the time, A often took the role of a leader, inviting others to participate and H saw a need for structure and regulation in his play activities--he kept putting up pylons to route the other exhibit visitors where he wished them. Impressive kids!
