Liberty Science Center

On Saturday we took a family trip to the Liberty Science Center.

There was a special exhibit of Sue the T-Rex, which was on loan from the Chicago Field Museum.

There was so much stuff for little scientists to explore. The 2nd floor had a special section dedicated for kids 2 – 5 years old. Both of my scientists had a great time.

Hi Turtle!

Quinn\’s checking out the flounder-like fish scurrying across the bottom.

It was a fun day and I know we\’ll be back!

Our Snowstorm

On Wednesday we got our first big snow storm of the year. It started snowing late Tuesday night and snowed through Wednesday night. In total we got about 17\”. It seems like nothing compared to the 50+ inches of snow that has fallen in Maryland over the last week. We have been very impressed with how well NJ cleans and plows the roads. Our little dead end street was plowed a couple of times and we had no problems getting out on Thursday morning. Most of the roads were wet pavement. Good Job NJ 😉

Here\’s a look down our street on Wednesday morning. We had gotten about 4 – 6\” at this point.

Thomas loves the snow.

Don working hard on the driveway. He took about 3 swipes at the driveway keeping it clean throughout the day.

Nap Update

Quinn\’s new sleep schedule has been a moving target. We had a good week long stretch of no nap, early to bed, and sleeping 12 hours. Then Quinn snuck in a 20 minute nap at 5 pm while I was cooking dinner one night and we were up until midnight. That seemed to get him out of his good cycle and he didn\’t sleep 12 hours at night. Yesterday he seemed really tired so I let him nap for 3 hours knowing that we would be up late. And we were. 12:30 am bedtime. We\’ll work our way back to no nap, early to bed, and sleeping 12 hours. I\’ve heard the transition from no-nap can take 3 months or so. We\’ll just go with the flow and do what seems best on that day…
