The Academy

We decided to go to the California Academy of Sciences today. Chase strapped Milo to his chest and we set out, walked about one mile to get there and then looked at a few exhibits before Milo got fussed. So we sat in the aquarium and watched the fish swim around while I fed her, and it was good. All together we were probably out of the house for about 3 hours, and Milo didn’t get really fussed until we were just a few blocks from home. She was hungry again, so we didn’t hold it against her. Oh, and we remembered to put clothes on her before leaving the house today. Win.

Sitting, looking at the fish, Chase and I couldn’t help but think about how great it’s going to be when Milo can also look at them and recognize their beauty. One day, probably sooner than we realize, Milo will gaze in wonder at the aquarium, point to the fish she likes, and maybe ask a thousand questions that we’re all too eager to answer. I can’t wait.

Notes:

• Milo’s fingernails are becoming a cause for concern. Maybe I’ll try to file them down soon.
• We started using g diapers recently. It’s going well, but the liners get dirty EVERY TIME she poops. No one ever said being eco friendly was easy, I guess.
• Milo is perfecting her quizzical brow, and I love it.
