Liberty science center....

I chose the pictures that looked really educational b/c well this is our education blog. :) The micro scope picture looks very scholarly indeed however what your not hearing is Johanna saying, "nope nothin' in there"
The most wonderful about this membership which my parents so thoughfully gave us is that we have the luxury of time. No need to hurry to see and experience it all and get our money's worth.
On this particular visit we did not even have enough time to visit the water monitor and the poisonous frogs. Instead we lolly gagged around letting the nose in the "infection connection" exhibit sneeze on us...and by us I mean Johanna b/c Michael wasn't too sure it was a good idea to have giant nose sneeze on you. He sat in my lap but laughed heartily every time Johanna got sprayed. We stayed in "I explore" where Johanna climbed up and down the platforms and Michael painted with water and made cars. There were balls to shoot and flashlights to make shadows and when they were done we moved on.
and b/c we were able to really soak it all in we had time to reflect on what we saw. It wasn't all a blur of going in one room then the next and rushing to see or touch the next thing.
I know Johanna really took in some valuable infection information b/c when she got up this morning she announced, "I'm a germ!"
I'm not sure how much Michael took in b/c he is still "Shamu" from Seaworld.

*Snap*

Guess who can snap? Yup..Johanna. She has been practicing and practicing and now she can do it. Now that she can she doesn't stop. *snap snap snap* go her fingers on both hands whenever they are not otherwise occupied by eating or trying to cartwheel.
That's her next endeavor. She can get her hands on the ground really well. Then she, kind of, leaps her feet; so it is more like jumping that actual cartwheeling. She's determined though to get it.
Also on her "To learn" list is bubble blowing with gum. She's got the chewing down really well and she gets it on her tongue but mostly when she blows , well the gum shoots off her tongue.
So her spring report card looks something like this:
Snapping A+
Cartwheel C
gum blowing B


As for spelling, Johanna handed me a piece of paper and said, "I wrote Michael on it" and you know what was on that paper? This:
MICL
Isn't that great??
She didn't ask anyone how to spell it (Obviously) and she sounded out all the right letters. I am really quite impressed by it.

I am glad the spring the weather is here b/c it is easier to practice cartwheels on the grass and if your gum blows off your tongue nobody cares.
