The main attractions were the Dora & Diego exhibit on the 2nd floor and the PlayLab on the 3rd Floor. Caden and you just loved exploring the Dora & Diego exhibit.
You drove around in Tico's car. . .
. . . . .and called Daddy to tell him how much fun we were having at the museum.
Next stop was the PlayLab on the 3rd floor - there was a fire truck and a police car. You two loved pretending to drive the fire truck.
Check out Caden steering the fire truck!
You also liked climbing on the top of the alligator in the middle of the room. Caden copied the other kids feeding letters into the alligator's mouth.
After running around, you both found the light wall interesting and made patterns.
And, of course, you both loved playing at the sand table. What a fun museum!
After the museum, we grabbed a quick lunch at Cafe Lalo across the street - I used to enjoy going there for late-night desserts with friends during business school. Unfortunately it has turned into a tourist trap after Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks filmed 'You've Got Mail.' After lunch, Caden passed out in the car - he was exhausted from running around all morning. You also fell asleep in the car after insisting on no nap today.
While you slept, I drove to the IKEA in Brooklyn. Since Daddy had to work a full day, we ran errands before going home. You asked if you could go into the kids drop-off playspace in IKEA - I was surprised that you were okay with me dropping you off for 45 minutes. You immediately made new friends and did not look back. Caden and I went upstairs to play in the kids' furniture section since he was too young for the playarea. Caden had fun crawling through tunnels and checking out all of the toddler beds.
After IKEA, we drove home to wait for Daddy. Then we enjoyed all of the leftovers from Christmas Dinner. What a fun day!
