Yesterday afternoon we took Babykins to the Children's Discovery Center. Although the Center's web site says it's best for children ages 2-10, Babykins' curiosity just can't be contained by our apartment anymore, so we decided to give it a try.
We knew it would be great when we set Babykins down in the first room and she took off at a near run, holding Mommykins' hand on one side and Daddykins' hand on the other. This is one of her favorite ways to walk these days, and one that we find particularly sweet.
After a stop at the tongue-shaped sliding board, a ride in a wheel chair, and a pit stop to knock over a Lego tower, Babykins discovered her favorite toy at the Center - the stairs. Living in an apartment, Babykins very rarely runs into stairs, so when we saw the multi-level set that led to the second floor, we prepared to carry her up. Babykins jumped right into the challenge, though, taking the steps one after the other without a pause.
By the time we got to the top (a good 40 stairs later!), Hubbykins and I were amazed that Babykins had made it the whole way. Even more amazing, instead of continuing into the next activity room, she turned right around and tried to climb back down the stairs. We may have been tired from the climb, but she was ready to do it all over again!
It was fun to see Babykins make the climb, but it's made us very glad to live in a house without stairs.
