Colleen, Sequoia and I spent the day today at the Virginia Living Museum in Newport News.It is a great place for kids to learn about nature, plus it is a really fun place to just hang out at as a family.
We tried to teach Sequoia a thing or two about spelunking.
Stalactite? Stalagmite? No problem. Sequoia can handle them all - even when they are fiberglass and in a museum...
It is always fun to watch Sequoia while she is discovering everything around her. She is so animated and interested in things it amazes me.
Now that she is such an upstanding stander-upper, the discovery and interaction process is taking on new dimensions.
As her physical abilities continue to develop she is able to act on more and more of her thoughts and desires. Although she is a long way from talking, her ability to communicate increases with her ability to get around.
Of course as she struggles with the real and serious questions of the universe her mom and I are on a mission to pose her on or next to anything that will make a funny or cute picture. Hopefully Sequoia will be able to overcome her parents shortcomings.... But I honestly think she enjoyed riding on the frog statue.
You can't beat getting up close and personal with a big old sea turtle.
I can only hope that this early fascination with animals will stay with our little girl as she grows up.
All in all it was another great day spent watching our little girl absorb the world around her.You can't beat that.
