Calvin's favorite phrases these days are "Touch it!" and "Want it!" and "Climbind" (which means I want to climb up on that). He's learning by running around and getting into stuff, and this museum was designed to accommodate him.
We started out just following him as he explored. He went into an area where kids could build things with pipes, and he took a pipe and used it as a walking stick for about twenty minutes. He tried to jump into the fountain, but we didn't let him. Then he went outside and climbed a set of stairs. There was a playground outside, and I think he has a real complex about slides. He thinks he's supposed to enjoy them, but he's usually to scared to go down them. So he says "slide! Weee!" and points to the slide, but won't go down.
Eventually we ended up in the tot room, which has a two foot ramp that he used as a slide. It also has a ton of books, boxes of blocks and puzzles, and clear pipes that go from one end of the room to the other. Kids can drop little whiffle balls into the pipes and watch them travel across the room.
It was fun.
