OMSI

Monsieur Henry and I have had a few adventures this week. In an effort to keep us both sane, we've been heading out to see what the city has to offer a youngster and his mum. So far this week we visited the Oregon Zoo and OMSI. Since Henry is still neutropenic, we have made some rules for adventures outside the home
  1. We must go at the start of the business day.
  2. We stay no longer than an hour.
  3. We leave early if there are too many people.
  4. We avoid other humans.
  5. We wash our hands often.
Henry had a very busy morning. While at OMSI Henry saw himself in a funny mirror, put together a faux nanoparticle, went infrared, and climbed the kiddy kitchen bins. So we don't experience burnout, we're breaking out our copy of Out & About with Kids to determine where to go next. The pumpkin patch at Sauvie Island is a given, which also means there is an afternoon coming up when Huck will be up to his elbows in pumpkin guts.

Just fyi, we were at OMSI at closing time one day and I was amazed at how thoroughly the staff was cleaning all the toys in that toddler area. Made me feel a lot better.

Have you been to the Children's Museum yet? Avery used to absolutely love it but we haven't been in years.
