Magic House


Yesterday Broc had to pick up a Drill Sargent from the St. Louis airport. He decided we'd make a family trip out of it, so off we went. We wanted to do something that our Pip Squeak would enjoy. Tell me, is there anything more fun then The Magic House? I think not. If you've not heard of such a place, it's a children's museum in St. Louis, and a fine one at that. An entire wing of the house was devoted to a pretend Market Place with a grocery store, library, pizza parlor, you name it. Imaginary play is fantastic! We had a great time following Piper from the the bubble room to musical chairs and everywhere in between. To fully understand the loads of energy expelled, you might have enjoyed seeing her sitting strait up asleep in a Target shopping cart.

Way over there

















There is a playground that can be seen from our living room. Piper smashes her slobbery face to the cold window saying "way over there," which doesn't at all resemble the words, and is only recognizable by the inflexion.
She's sure slides are a serious matter... until she gets to the bottom.
That should be a metaphor for life or something, no?
