Last week we went to a couple of relatively new places in addition to our usual haunts, trying to keep ourselves entertained during a very rainy period. Monday we went to an open gym at a local summer camp, then we gave the literacy play group one last try. Matt did his first craft.
Three guesses who was responsible for the stickers and pipe cleaner and who was responsible for the "deconstruction" and "sculptural elements."
Tuesday we went to the Y play space, and Wednesday we went to library story time. That night we had a massive rainstorm with lightning, thunder, and strong winds; luckily Matt slept through the whole thing. Thursday we went to the other play space, where the theme was superheroes.
Friday we tried the local children's museum again (we went last winter, when Matt was very little). Matt is just about old enough to enjoy it and its offerings; this will definitely be a place we spend a lot of time during bad weather over the next few years.

Ahoy, mateys!
Not yet into fire trucks
Of course, what's even more fun than a children's museum is a cabinet full of pots and pans at home.
Friday afternoon we went to play group. Saturday we had a birthday party for one of Matt's friends. It was a costume party, and Matt was able to wear his new costume from his grandma.
Sunday we had a quiet day at home while Matt recovered from his busy week and what seems to be a cold (as well as perhaps some more molars on their way). That gave Matt plenty of time to get to know his new play kitchen that we got as a hand me down (we couldn't beat the price of free, and -what's almost better - it came pre-assembled).
Checking the oven and preparing some coffee
Matt is walking more and more; he now walks more than he crawls. And he's still working on making friends with the cat.

Finally, this photo is technically from this week, but Jon has been working on it for a while, so I want to share a photo of the renovated Cozy Coupe, now repainted as the Batmobile.
Gotta go. Gotham needs me!
