Messy Toddlers

Gunnar and I went to his first "messy toddlers" art class on Sunday at the Portland Children's Museum. G slept the entire time in the car on the way there so it took him a bit to get over the shock of it all. Here he is playing with the cars in paint. Notice the nap hangover:


Just like home, digging in the dirt was one of his favorite activities:


His other favorite was the big wooden box lined with paper, squirted with paint and full of balls. The box had rope attached on all sides so you could lift it, cause the balls to roll and make a design. Lifting heavy things is his specialty!

After class we decided to hit the bug dig pit in the museum. G had a great time loading and unloading the trucks. Learning that just because you like to dump your truck does not mean that other people want you to run over and dump their trucks too.


Grandma Darnelle arrives tomorrow and we can't wait!
