Science Museum

Megan and Jason had a class field trip to a Science Museum this past week, and I went along as a chaperone.  They had a lot of fun.  Jason's favorite part was the snakes.  Megan liked the telegraph machine and giant bubble maker the most.  They also got to see a live owl and hawk up close during a raptor presentation.  Jason also held a tarantula.

Jason with the boa constrictor.  He held that snake around 
his neck 3-4 different times.  

Megan was nervous about touching the boa,
but Jason talked her into it.  She only held it once.

New Bed

Kora moved out of her crib into a regular bed this weekend.  She has been excited to sleep in her "Dora" bed,  but it has taken her a lot longer to fall asleep than normal.  She does stay in her bed, but she will sit and play for awhile.  We were worried about Kora falling out of bed, because she moves all over when she sleeps as you can see in the picture below.  We made a barrier of blankets at the end of the railing, so she hasn't fallen out yet.

Kora waking up, laying sideways.  She often sleeps turned completely  
 in the opposite direction of the head of bed.
 
 
Kora still likes to suck her thumb a lot.  She was telling us that the right thumb that she sucks is yummy and the other thumb was yucky.  Then she would put her right thumb in her mouth and say "mmm, good."  I'm afraid it may be a long time before she stops sucking that thumb.   
 
Kora has been without her glasses for almost two weeks.  She was being silly one day in the car and put the glasses in her mouth and bent one of the nose pieces.  It eventually broke, so we had to order her new ones, which should be in soon.

Tank

Here is the newest member of our family, our new black lab puppy.  We had a hard time coming up with a name that we all liked.  We decided on "Tank" because he has such big feet and will probably be a big dog.  As you'll see with Megan, he likes to cuddle.  Megan also likes to dress him up by adding a yarn collar.



 
 
Here is Tank playing with Jason and Kora. 

 
Kora was learning how to play noodle fights and of course
wanted to include the new puppy, but I stopped her before
she got him with it.
