Discoveries

We went to the Children's Discovery Museum today - Kelli especially loves the water play area.
Look - a ball! (And a wonderful smock, Mommy says)We put the ball in the water . . .and the vortex sucks it down!

Sending the ball down the track.This volcanic ball tower is a big hit with all the kids - especially when it splashes the adults!

Kelli's Feet

As we were heading home today at the end of a long outing, Kelli said that she wanted to get out of the stroller and walk. I told that she could if she walked fast, because I wanted to hurry up and get home, to which she replied "I don't walk fast or slow, only my feet go fast or slow." This was a revelation to me, as I had not previously realized that her feet set her pace independently of her control. This being such a startling revelation, I just had to share it ;).

For the record, after I told her that her feet would have to go fast, they managed quite a good pace - in fact, a couple of times she got ahead of me and I had to run to catch up!
