Today I was our last day in Cincy, and I wanted to do something fun with G & G. It was cold and rainy....perfect day for the children's museum! Griffin came over about 9am, and we headed down to Union terminal where the museum is. I was just a little nervous to take them at this time because Gavin was skipping his AM nap....and I was unsure of how he would handle it. To my surprise, he did very well! As soon as we got there, both the boys hoped out of the double stroller, and took off! "T'mon GAVIE!!!!" Griffin would say over and over.
They played so well, and were so busy the entire time. We explored each and every area of the museum, and Gavin never really got too tired. At one point, Gavin was getting hungry for a snack, so I asked Griffin if we could go into the little "mothers room" so he could eat. I gave Gavin and Griffin a little fruit snack, and something to drink...I know Griffin would rather have been playing out with the toys, but he sat there so patiently! He just watched Gavin finish his snack. Of course I teared up because it is so neat to watch them together...I would love to be able to do this more often...
Only major meltdown....when we went to the "Grocery Store" area. The boy's had their shopping cart, and were picking out food. As soon as Gavin got to the boxed food (Cereal, cookies, fruit snack's) he freaked out! HE wanted to eat the food! He laid there and sobbed because he could not open the boxes. Poor boy, always needs to eat.
Griffin really took great care of "Gavie." He shared his toys, helped him get up and down from different areas, and even helped Gavin when someone took his toy. Griffin walked right up to the little boy who was trying to take Gavin's toy and said "No take that, its GAVIE'S!!!" I almost died, it was so adorable.
We packed our lunch, and had a little picnic in the lobby of Union Terminal. The boys shared their food, and ate their oreo's for dessert. After lunch we headed back to the museum for a little more fun. This time we went to the water play area, and they had a blast. It was really hard to get them out of here...it took a little bribe about more oreo's :) We got to the car, loaded them up, and Gavin's eye's were closed before we even back out of the parking spot. We had so much fun, and can't wait to do it again in December!
wow! what a fun trip!!!!! looks like gavin had the time of his life!
