February was such a busy and fun month! For Valentine's Day, we printed out some kid-friendly recipes (eggless chocolate cake, snow ice cream, etc.), and Caden decorated the pages with stickers and pens. This project took place the same night the girls from the lab were 'getting crafty' in preparation for G's bachelorette party, so Caden got help from our friend Catherine.
On Valentine's Day, we invited Summer and Mae over so Sal and Liza could go on a date (a snowshoe race in VT!). The kids had a blast, as usual, playing, snacking, reading books, and painting. That night, Dada and Caden went over to Luke's to play guitar hero (there were extra instruments for Caden, so he could play the guitar and drums, too) while Mama joined the girls for dinner and a movie in Boston.
The next day, we took the T into Boston and then out to Cambridge
to go to the (residents free day at the) Harvard Natural History Museum. We had talked up the dinosaur bones, so Caden did a happy dance for about 30 seconds when he saw this complete skeleton! He also liked seeing the stuffed African mammals, insect collections, and space rocks. We made it to only a few exhibits, with there being so much to see and the place being pretty packed with kids, so we'll definitely return. We had lunch at b.good., a natural food burger place, before riding the trains back to the car.
The next weekend, Mama went to Foxwoods (in CT) for a night, then returned in time to celebrate her birthday at home with some of her favorites: taco salad and rhubarb cake (which Caden helped make).
Finally, a couple pictures of Caden playing...here he is practicing out his doctoring. He is wearing socks as gloves (he is very interested in the different gloves that are worn in different professions - has also asked about garbage collectors, lobstermen, and postal workers) and using his Slinky as a stethoscope to give his sea animals a check-up. Maybe we don't need to get him a doctor kit for his birthday after all!
And we couldn't resist taking a picture of this train. We like how he used his natural wood blocks, with the small sticks set sideways as wheels.
