I just got back from a six-day business trip, so today is Daddy/Conrad Adventure Day. We started with yet another viewing of The Iron Giant, a movie that became his favorite after one viewing, no doubt because he is almost certainly too young to watch it.
We followed the screening with lunch at Elmo’s Diner “”coasting since 1995 – come for the kid-friendliness, ignore the food”” and a trip to the Children’s Museum. As with other children’s museums we’ve visited, including the children’s museum in St. Jo, Mich., the big thing to remember about this children’s museum is that it is not, as such, a museum. It’s more of a big playroom, which is great. I guess you couldn’t really call it the Chapel Hill Big Playroom.
The Boy had a great time. In the picture above you can see him playing with an educational toy consisting of a wide variety of fasteners and door hardware, apparently designed to teach toddlers how to defeat childproofing.
Post-nap agenda is equally simple: park, followed by ice cream.
