Four years ago today, this little pumpkin was brought into the world as a tiny baby, several weeks premature, and weighing only a few pounds. As soon as we could hold her, I remember her entire body fitting in my hand and forearm. Today is her 4th birthday, and she's a healthy, happy child, who brings a lot of joy to this set of grand parents. Yesterday, we decided to take Laila to the Tucson Children's Museum. We spent about 3 hours wandering from one theme room to another. We knew that Uncle Marty & Aunt Claudia had taken Laila to the Children's Museum in Phoenix, but we had never been to one ourselves. We were impressed with the different interactive exhibits, where the kids get to touch & play with just about everything, rather than just look at stuff. The word museum is a bit deceptive, because even though most of the areas are educational, just about all of the building is focused on the kids having fun. It was fun for us to watch Laila experience so many new things, and in some cases, join in with the new activities. After several hours, like most kids, she had done it all, and was ready for some lunch. We had a snack, then headed back to the motor home, where Laila drew a face on the pumpkin we purchased yesterday, and Grandpa cut it out. After dinner, we watched a DVD movie entitled "Rusty to the Rescue", about a dog (a beagle of course) who saves the day. Today, we're going to pick up the trampoline, and later, Dad and Grandpa will have to figure out a way to assemble the contraption, without a pair of little eyes seeing what's happening.
