Sunday was one of those days when it was really cold outside, but we just had to get out of the house. So, off to the National Building Museum we went! I'm sure the museum itself is really cool, but so far we've only explored the Great Hall (a giant, open space great for running with a cool fountain in the middle) and the Building Zone (a big playroom with a play house, all kinds of blocks and vehicles, dress up clothes, puzzles, and a book nook). Now that Isaac is an expert sitter, he had just as much fun as Amelia playing with all the cool building toys.
Amelia measuring Isaac's head with a giant measuring tape (Oh, the things little brothers have to endure...)
Amelia serenading her dad in front of the cool play house (not sure how a microphone is building-related, by the way)
As we were leaving the museum and heading back to our car, I saw some cool lion statues that are apparently part of the National Law Enforcement Memorial. I thought Amelia might like to check them out and get her picture taken sitting with them. However, Amelia seemed terrified of the big male lion statue and didn't want to touch it or even get near it. The sleeping "baby lions" were a little less scary, but she still insisted that I sit next to them with her. We're definitely going through a phase where lots of things are scary or potentially scary. Maybe it's just the age, but I don't think the Halloween Scream mask incident helped!

Isn't that museum great? We took Luke there before we moved and even at 11 months he loved it... DC has such incredible activities for kids.
Can't to cuddle our future engineers come next week!
Love,
Grammie
