The days of Evie and Mommy outings are limited. We are probably about 1 month away from H2's arrival, which means this Mama is slowing down and will be home bound for a few weeks. I feel like I am finally finding my stride as a stay at home mom. I've met just enough mom friends with little friends for Evie to keep me fulfilled. We had some kind of playdate every day this week and Evie had two napovers. I'm so thankful God put some wonderful women in my life. I've been longing for some new pals since my Maryland girlfriends keep moving!
Since Aubrey asked, ringworm has not made an appearance yet. Poor Cole Bug has been running a high fever since Monday (gymnastics day). George and Evie seem to be ok besides running noses. What kid doesn't have a runny nose all fall and winter?
We culminated our busy week with a trip to the Maryland Science Center. My neighbor invited us along with her two girls, her sister, and her nephew. Thanks to Melanie's connection at the Science Center, we paid $0 for our outing. Kids are free under 3 (take note, Please Touch
The majority of the museum is not appropriate toddlers, but luckily there is a gated Kids Room for kiddos 0-8. AND all the school trip kids can't go in there. It was a perfect place for our little group to play.
The water table was still a tad high for our vertically challenged tot, however, Evie played there for a good chunk of time.

| So serious all the time. I promise you she liked it |

| C'mon short arms, you can do it! |

| This was the smallest one there. Daddy texted she looks like Gumby |
Watching the bubbles in the fish tank was fascinating. I saw a camera in the tank, but wasn't sure where it was projecting. When we went into the submarine a few minutes later , a mom commented she saw us on the TV in there. I hope I wasn't picking my nose! I will know for next time... and here is your warning MD folks!

| "Bubbles" is a word in her vocabulary |
The Lego's kept her attention for a few minutes.
And this thing was pretty cool
They also had a 0-24 month area with a "waterbed" area. Even though she transversed over all the mats at the gym, she was unsure of this one. This area had a big chair for feeding babies and other toys for crawlers. A good area for when H2 is with us.
After our typical 40 minutes of play, we had a snack on our way to eat our bagged lunch.

I love getting out during the week with Evie to avoid weekend crowds. But that also means we run into field trips. The museum was filled with elementary aged kids. Luckily we found a few tables away from the lunch room to have our lunch.
Free is a great way to experience a new adventure with a toddler. Hooray for nice neighbors!

Hooray for playdates, outings, and friends! Boo to ringworm, colds, and other infectious diseases.
What a fun trip! We'll have to try that one, too. Evie was having a good hair day that day :)
Glad you guys had so much fun. Evie is growing so fast. Love Pops and Paula
