Boston Children's Museum

WE had such a fabulous time today. Sam really had a great day which is exactly what I wanted to happen. He loves Roberton and Julianna as they are "big kids" and he wants to be like them. WE rode the train in and of course that was super exciting for him as well. Sophia was sick last night so we ended up not bringing her with us, but we will definitely be going again soon and I am sure she will love it too.
PS the pictures posted in the reverse order then they occured




My little man two fisting his ice cream


Yum!!!


The Construction Zone: Sam loves this whole area with all of the equipment and climbing equipment. Last time we went he had alot of difficulty climbing this stuff but no struggles this time. What a difference a couple of months makes?









The Art Expo: they do all these different crafts and activities. Sam loved coloring on the paper with a crayon and then painting over it to see the white spots show up, like his name:-)




More Construction zone pictures....




Arthur: this area was all dedicated to Arthur. There was the kitchen, school, plane, and this camping location:-) WE loved them all even though Ididn't take all the pictures of each area.


The Bubble Room: this is by far my favorite place at the museum. There is just something that is so intriguing about them. And Sam had such a blast here, make enormous bubbles, and making one around himself







This climbing structure went the whole height of the building!!! It made me so nervous watching him way up there and being so far away but thankfully our friends went in with him. This thing is 3 stories tall!!! HE absolutely loved it. He did seem a little nervous when he was really up high though





Riding the train with Julianna

The bad part of our day: we won't have the apnea monitor until monday. So I have to wait out the weekend before we get it, and monday we go into Children's to see his hematologist which means we might miss them coming and have to wait until tuesday:-(

Thankful

Goodness, I have gotten so caught up in being terrified that I have forgotten so much of what God has blessed me with! I am surrounded by so many wonderful friends and family who are going out of their ways to help us and I am just so thankful. Ashley made us a wonderful dinner today, and Sara took the kids so I could take a napy (but of course I was too busy freaking out and couldn't sleep) but it was still wonderful to just have some quiet time. Today has certainly been a nice reminder that I truly am not alone and that God has put some wonderful people in our lives to help us through these trials.
We still don't have the monitors for Sam:-( which is so frustrating as I am so exhausted and staying up for days on end isn't good for any of us. The apnea and pulse oximeter monitors should be here tomorrow, which is great but I have to work tomorrow night so I won't get to sleep then either:-( I also didn't hear from Children's regarding the rest of the testing but am hopeful that tomorrow we will hear.
Trying to do some fun activities pre-surgery so we will be off to the Boston Children's Museum tomorrow provided all goes well tonight:-)

My handsome little boy and I 8-)



Concentrating hard as a construction worker







This little face just melts me. You can tell he doesn't feel well with the bags under his eyes, but isn't he just so sweet?!?


Not sure if you are a Curious George fan but this is the Doorman costume and Sam was so happy to wear it:-)



Sam's buddy George. HE just climbed right up next to him and kept looking at him, I wish I could have been inside his head to know what he was thinking about his favorite little friend



Wheeeee!!!!! Sliding down George's rocket ship




Going to outerspace with George and his rocket ship



One of the many water tables that Sam had a blast at while we were there.




Flying a plane! He had a blast with this. There was an actual throttle and when he pulled it back it took off down the runway and into the air.



Arthur TV, they actually stood in front of the camera and were then played on the tv. I don't think he quite understood this.


They are laying underneath a see-through turtle exhibit. They were watching them swim all around above them.
