Ivan at Air and Space Museum

Following the perfect and beatiful weekend, today (Monday) it rained, rather heavily. Andy stayed home today. After visiting UMCP's pre-school (more on that later), we debated what to do and where to go so Ivan could run around (there are only so many times we can take him to Ikea), and eventually ended up driving to Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazy Museum near Dulles.

Ivan loved it. He ran from one exhibit to the next. He was also fascinated by the planes, rockets, etc. And there was ample room to run around.



As we were getting out of the car, he took the kaleidoscope out of the car to take along. I bought him the kaleidoscope last Easter. He never really showed much interested in it until he eventually took it apart and broke it. The kaleidoscope has been sitting in the car for months now and he never took it out of the car, until today.

In the museum, he kept putting the kaleidoscope to his eyes to look through it, using it as one would use binoculars.

Andy and I were cracking up. We have no clue where he got that idea. Certainly not from us.
