It's me, Julien the Toddler!
Tuesday July 12 was a fun day for me - I went to the Randall Museum with DOJ, and met up with various friends - Zealand (with his mommy and new baby sister Avery), Ruby (with her mommy), Rowan (with his very pregnant mommy), and Marcella (with *her* very pregnant mommy). It was a very fun time together, and several of the mommies (and DOJ) got to chat about toddlerhood, pregnancy, and the other silly topics that parents discuss when they get together with us.
Although we all had fun together, for the most part DOJ just took pictures of me with Zealand because he was too busy keeping on top of us!
Here we are playing separately while being in the train room together.
At last Zealand notices my descent from the platform...
And soon we're sliding down the ramp! Behind us are his mommy and baby sister, as well as Marcella with her pregnant mommy. I assume that the mommies are discussing the joys of being mommies to toddlers and how nothing else in the world is anywhere near as important as the joy of a toddler!
Although we don't actively race each other, Zealand can slide down faster than I.
Eventually we ended up in the puppet room!
It's hard to tell, but we actually threw puppets everywhere.
We also picked up puppets... so that we could throw them again!
At one point, I was standing and holding a puppet.
Look at Zealand's speed - at one point he faced East. Suddenly he faced West!
Look how fast Zealand can move his head while I stand still! I tell you, my friend is fast!
Eventually all the action in the train room and puppet room started to get us a bit tired, so we headed to the Lego area.
We were both a bit tired and more serious at this point.
We seriously studied the Legos and how we could make some buildings - so that they can shake and fall apart during an earthquake. While Zealand works on making a Lego building, I'm preparing the earthquake speed (the black knob) - you can see my right hand!
As Zealand steadies the red building, I get ready to press the blue button, which will start the earthquake process.
You may notice that the red building has fallen... thanks to the earthquake simulation!
And in case you're wondering, I'm standing in the bin with extra Legos while Zealand is standing on a wooden bench by the Legos.
We both fit very well next to each other.
Since this fun day in early July, I have since continued to play a lot with my friends. We all have the best times together!
Love,
Julien the Toddler
