Kidscape with Olivia

On this unseasonably hot Kansas day, we met Olivia and her baby brother and mommy at Kidscape. The kids had a great time playing and for a while, they had it all to themselves. It is truly amazing to see how big these two are getting! There is a pretend farm area at the museum and Livy and CJ made themselves comfy on Bessie the Cow:

There is also a pretend hospital and Christopher said, "I want to be a doctor, like Dr. Brooks." I wouldn't be surprised if he actually does become a doctor. Last week, he had to get some blood taken and all he did was flinch a little when the nurse stuck him. Then he watched his blood going into the collection tube and said, "Wow! Look at my blood. That is cool." No joke.

And what trip to anyplace would be complete without some train time?

But the highlight of our Kidscape visit today was the imaginary theater. They have a little backstage area where the kids can dress up in costumes, a lighting area where the kids control all the stage lighting, and the stage itself, complete with a red velvet curtain and scenery. Christopher has never been into this area before but today he was a star! Here he is playing the part of Spiderman. Perhaps Christopher's version will open to better reviews than the Broadway version!

This picture cracks me up because it looks like he is pretending to be He-Man calling the powers of Grayskull. ("I have the pooowwwwer!!!") Then Chris busted out his repertoire of songs, beginning with "Terrance the Tractor" from his Thomas CD and ending with "Let There Be Peace on Earth." Here is Spidey on stage for his solos...

A great time was had by all!
