Tucson Children's Museum


I know it has been ages since I have posted but it is related to that last post. The 1st trimester has hit with a vengenence. I also found out yesterday that I have Hypothyroidism again( I had it in high school). The early symptoms are just like beginning of pregnancy (fatigue, dizziness, nausea, weight gain) so i just assumed it was pregnancy. They figured it wasn't causing the morning sickness and general crapiness, but compounding it. Yay! I am not just a whiner! The pill should help and I am 12 weeks today so hopefully, in ArJay's words, he will "get his wife back"!

So have you been to the Tucson Children's Museum? IT is seriously one of the coolest places in Tucson. I had heard a lot about it and wanted to try it, but it's kind of expensive and I wasn't sure Alianna was old enough. Lo and Behold, they are doing "Monsoon Mondays" for $2 for adults and under 2 is free, my kind of price tag. Just to reiterate, it is one of the coolest places in Tucson. It took us an hour just to do a loop looking at all the different rooms. There's everything from dinosaurs to trains to music to a "grocery store".

I couldn't get any posed shots because she was running the entire time. This was the 4 and under "rainforest" play room. I think she sat pushing that button to light up the rainforest for about 10 minutes.

My camera died shortly after we got there but I think 90% of the pictures would have had this look of shock and awe anyways. Every new room brought a "wow" and she would stand at the entrance for 5 minutes staring. Of course, my little flirt got super excited when she saw two little boys run into the dark "Light writer" room and had to go after them. SHeesh... I 'm sure I'm going to get calls in kindergarten about her kissing boys on the playground.

Anyways, I HIGHLY recommend the children's museum, especially for family nights thru labor day since it's super cheap, we'll see you there next week!
