Children's Discovery Museum

A couple week ago (okay, okay it was probably at least a month ago!) I met some of my friends at the Children's Discovery Museum in downtown SLC. Geez what a drive. What was I thinking driving to PC for four years straight?!?

Kylie absolutely LOVED this place! She played for hours and hours. I think we spent over five hours there and she was going non stop the entire time. She played for two hours just in the little grocery store area. Funny story- I was watching her from the benches and she had been playing with some play food behind a counter for quite awhile. One of the workers was organizing and putting away some of the food that had been left out. While Kylie had dashed over to a neighboring cupboard for something the worker grabbed a plastic loaf of bread that Kylie had been using and started to put it away. You should have seen Kylie! She totally went right up to the lady wanting her bread back. She gave it back to her and both of us just laughed at what had happened.

Kylie has really taken an interest in play kitchens and pretending etc. She's been earning a few coins doing small odd jobs around the house, pulling weeds etc so she can save up to help buy a "kitchen" for her birthday. At least that's the plan anyway. I'll occasionally ask her to do something when I'm outside and she'll say "coins? Kitchen?". She's a quick study. I was on our computer looking at play kitchens one day and you should have seen how fast she jumped on my lap pointing to the kitchens, was all excited and telling us which one she wants and why. And she requests pink of course. I think she requests everything in pink these days. Her learning her colors has been a slow process because everything according to her is "pink!".

Some pictures of our silly little goose...

first crushes

Okay my friend is probably going to kill me for posting this picture on my blog but anywaaaaay...

This is my good friend Heather and her son Porter. 

Porter is Kylie's first love. 

 

On the morning of play group Kylie usually asks if Porter will be there. And lately it's like pulling teeth to get her to sit by us during sacrament meeting because she wants to sit with Porter.(Insert a big shout out to Heather for dealing with two toddlers at the same time on occasion.)


But alas, maybe Porter is old news? 


We went to the zoo last week with my friend Britta and her three kiddo's. Kylie would hardly get out of the stroller the whole time but at one of the exhibits she wasn't shy about chasing after Landon and getting him to hold her hand. She'll on occasion try to get other girls to hold her hand and play with her but they usually don't want anything to do with it!

I fear I may be in trouble...
