A busy morning

Just to give you an idea of what we do now, Sam and I did poop patrol in the morning outside, which needs no further details added. Sam blew bubbles with her bubble machine outside the kitchen door. We went to the Reservoir for a half an hour and wiggled around int he water. Sam can go out five feet further past the rope this year than last. She is now 39 1/2 inches tall, according to the measuring wall at Storyland. We changed in their bathrooms and went to the Harvard Childhood Developement Laboratory so Sam could participate in some of their research. It consisted mostly of Sam piling 4 lemons, apples or berries in a basket. Sam had fun and didn't want to leave. Arli gave her a slinky for a prize which made her very happy. The spray stones in front of the Science Center sounded cooling, so we romped around there. A young girl named Phoebe, maybe ten years old, acceded to Sam's request to chase her. So they romped for a bit. It was too hot for me to run like Sam wanted. Sam said she was hungry, so we had a yogurt and milk snack inside the building. Sam loves the cement wall mural on the first floor. It has lots of squiggly lines and shapes on it, and even some bubble gum! Sam was most excited about the naughty person who must have put the bubble gum there. We went to the second floor which was lined with begonias, rubber plants and spider plants. Sam walked the whole corridor shaking each plant's hand and asking "How are you plant? Are you growing well today?" One professor came out and showed Sam the giant lens in the hallway so she could look through it. Everyone gave this little one a big smile. She wandered the halls in her shiny Nemo bathing suit and faded denim hat with aplomb and style. We had lunch with daddy at Similans, the Thai restaurant with two big salt water fish tanks and a koi pond.
