So, I got our local parent magazine and highlighted every activity we could go to this summer. Today we started our adventures at The Frist. This is the most well-known Nashville art museum. They had a brief story time followed by "free play" at ArtQuest, the kids interactive art floor.
Story time did not go all that smoothly, as I was trying to nurse Heidi WHILE continuing to get up and "help" Clinton back to his seat. He didn't want to sit and kept telling me "Down!" (sit down) and "Ush!" (hush) and "No!". Ugh, this copy cat phase is not awesome.
The interactive art floor was fun. Clinton got to paint, knock over blocks (he refuses to build with them), stare at the color changing wall, build a "sculpture", and color on the glass wall. Things didn't exactly go smoothly (I got quite a few comments about being a trooper as I was nursing on the run while trying to corral Clinton). Painting was messy. Open space was challenging. And open markers were tempting on surfaces other than the glass.
Pretending to build a sculpture.
Drawing on the glass wall.
Painting a masterpiece.
The color-changing wall. Clinton thought it was changing because he would touch it, but it really just scrolled through the colors.
Changing it with his face.
Knocking over blocks.
These were just a few of the 32 booths, but Clinton wasn't old enough (or behaved enough) to try them all.
Gettin' cultured,

Oh my lands, you sounds like you have you hands full. Terrible 2's I am guessing. Great job on taking pictures while in the middle of the rest of all this. You are for sure a trooper and sounds like you have WAY more patience than me. I guess you get that with motherhood though. Where are pictures of Heidi?
