Boston Babies' Museum

Okay, it's really called the Boston Children's Museum...but today, it was all about the babies. After Finley and his friends Henry and Aliza all took terrific, lengthy morning naps in their respective cribs, we met up at the toddler room at the Children's Museum. The room is set up for children 3 and under and it is awesome! A huge train table, a tree house, a water table area, a pretend car and a house, and padded, foam covered corner for crawlers. Finley is obviously too young to take advantage of such a landscape, but his eyes enjoyed the entire panoramic view.
He pleasantly sat and just watched all the kids playing for quite a while. Henry and Aliza were checking out all the different play spaces, but we just sat and stared...longer than I thought Finley was capable of doing! We did check out a big round mat where Finley lounged for a while and made a new, feline friend.
He wanted to sit up after all that relaxing and then made some other new friends.
Our last stop was the socks only (good thing Finley wore socks) crawlers play space with Henry and Aliza. Finley had something to eat, checked himself out in the mirror, and completed the afternoon with some tummy time.
It was brave of us to venture out to such a "big kid" spot, but it was well worth it. Finley got to play and see lots of other friendly faces and, maybe more importantly, I got some much needed grown-up chatting time with Aliza and Henry's moms.

I can't wait to go back!
