back at mcwane...

on tuesday, daddy & i went to the mcwane center. we had not been in quite some time. i fell in LOvE with the 'dora the explorer' exhibit so mommy took me back again today. unfortunately, tuesday must have been the last day for dora... the exhibit was already loaded up & they were setting up the next one. but we still had a LoT of fun...
i got to play with my cookie wheels again. these circles spin around & around & you can put sprinkly things on them. then you make designs in the sprinkles & it looks like a spiral.
i also played with these spikey-boards that you can push your face & hands into. they are just like a toy that i call "red & blue grass" that is at my new school. well, actually, i played with the red & blue grass on my very 1st day of school. but mrs. susan realized that it could become a barrier to interacting with other children, so she removed it from our room. i was very glad to get to play with some red & blue grass again!
and much to mommy's surprise... i actually EnJoYeD sharing the grass with a little boy!! we played together wonderfully!
the mcwane center also has several aquariums & a touch-tank. then we went to the IMAX film, which was also about fish!! it was really about barrier reefs & all the lifeforms that dwell within.
we ate lunch in the mcwane lunchroom & mommy worked on some self-help skills with me. since there is only one teacher for my class this year, i have to do more for myself (but this is a good thing!) so mommy & i worked on opening my lunchbox & figuring out which containers to open first. i did a really good job!
