what can I get into next?

This little one has that familiar look in her eyes and sneaky little smile on her face -- just enough of a smile to reveal her prominent dimple on her left cheek.  Yes, this one is a handful.  Oh, we love her dearly but she is into everything, all at once, it seems.  She goes and goes with every ounce to keep up with her older sisters, sometimes surpassing them as she climbs to great heights (the table, counter-tops, stairs, etc.).  I am not sure how much birth order, hair color or personality have to do with this fiery little stinker but a day with her can be quite exhausting.  She teaches us something new daily and we all struggle to keep up.  

But with all this activity comes the most loving and affectionate little girl.  

We are in awe.

“When we treat children's play as seriously as it deserves, we are helping them feel the joy that's to be found in the creative spirit. It's the things we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in our lives.”  - Mr. Rogers

We recently had the chance to check out our new children's museum.  It was a special day for my big girl who was out of school on holiday.  We met up with some sweet friends and enjoyed exploring all the fun!  It is a wonderful place that fills the imaginations of children and adults alike.  Just playing, exploring and experiencing this new space was very magical.

We look forward to going back again very soon when some of the newness wears off.  Whew, there were tons of people there!
