A gentle morning for the most part -- R getting up in the morning and getting dressed is getting speedier and easier. Instead of the previous 30-40 minutes to go to the bathroom and get dressed, it is now about 10-20 minutes. I told him how proud I am of his being a "cheetah" this morning and then he was proud too. There was a tantrum in the kitchen this morning that resulted from not getting his way. But he recovered well and was able to talk about it which was nice. R had music class in the morning which he seemed to enjoy and then he went to school quite pleased.
K was particularly perky on the way to school. She woke up crying and rolled around on the bed for about 2 minutes and then sat up and said "happy" and then was happy. I wish I had that ability to pick up and change states so quickly. That is a good lesson from both kids. Don't hang on to the negative emotions, let go, and move on. They certainly enjoy their lives more with the ability not to harbor grudges and to live in the moment rather than the past.
It was leisurely this morning and then the big excitement this afternoon was a trip to the science museum with mommy and masee. Since it is summer time, masee has time to see the kids at least once a week. And they are loving it. K talks about masee-tom all the time. She drew a picture the other night and said masee-house. I am not sure if it is a picture of masee's house or that she wants to take it to masee's house, but either way drawing reminds her of masee (and her cats-meows). We have started to spend thursday evenings with masee which is nice. Dad gets an opportunity to work late, masee gets time with the kids, and mom gets time with masee. Win-win-win.
the kids were very excited about picking masee up from her work. they've seen daddy's work frequently but nobody else's work. we picked her up and went to the museum. the omni film was on special effects. which of course was frightening to the kids. yet R was very brave and of course interested. K also liked it when it was nature scenes and animals but not explosions and space ships.
The exhibit itself was ok. More importantly, the kids liked it and ran around playing with the lego magnetic hovercraft, driving a hovercraft, playing with robots, and generally running around being silly. We got a few pictures.
At the end of the exhibit, both were running out of energy and needed to have some food quickly. R walked around the gift shop saying I want this Star Wars toy and this toy. I told him that he could pick out one thing and that Rocky Mama would give it to him for his birthday. He picked some kind of darth vader object -- here that Rocky Mama!
We fed them, dropped masee back at her car, and brought them home. They had a happy evening -- thanks masee. Next week -- we are considering fossil hunting!
PS -- R has built a volcano and it has been drying for 3 days. we have great plans for baking soda, vinegar, soap, and red food dye eruptions soon! There has been some discussion of a sleepover at Masee's this weekend. This would be first.
no pictures today

It was very fun at the Science Museum yesterday! I also thought Rohan was very brave during the omni film, especially considering the very loud subject of the film, special effects, in addition to the effects that the omni theater also adds, namely the dizzying camera work and the acoustics. The evening was exhausting for all of us, there is so much to see and do for the kids that provoke their curiosity and interests.
I’ll let everyone know how the masee-rohan slumber party goes! I’m kind of nervous!
