I mentioned that we might go to the museum this morning and after that word, "museum", Jacob wouldn't let it go. So we went. He kept talking about the balls that he remembered playing with at OMSI. I told him this was a different museum but that they might have balls here too. This was the Portland Children's Museum which is next to the zoo and close to our house. This place was awesome too. Lots of different rooms for all kinds of play: water, grocery store, vet clinic, twilight walk with nature, stage with dress up clothes, room for playing with clay (some days you can even try throwing a bowl on a wheel), a house with pipes and "walls" to build and, thankfully, balls. You put the balls in a hole, pressed up a button and they were sucked up a tube into a high container. They'd roll around in there and then come back down another tube. Of all the things to do, this was Jacob's favourite.
We had a great time. I was exhausted at the end but it was a great thing to do. We will definitely go back there. Definitely better to start early too before tons of kids get there and the constant monitoring of behaviour begins: of Jacob and others.
Other Jacob words:
candy candies (candy canes)
La lu (love you)
