I am still not sure from where you pulled this one.
Your mother picked up a pair of sunglasses for you on our way to supper tonight. Little purple jobs with fairies and a Winnie-the-Pooh storage pouch, you were quite impressed.
We left the restaurant about dusk yet you insisted on wearing your shades. Immediately you complained about not being able to see and then “walked” into 3 trashcans and a sign post to drive home the point. I wouldn’t say you sold it very well as you did stop short and kind of leaned into them before looking back and laughing [Note from Camille: well she did more than lean into the garbage cans; she crowed "whoa, can't see" "look out" and "hey, how this garbage can get here?"], but we can work on that.
I had a conference to attend in Barcelona April 5th-8th. Lilah and Camille jumped on the chance to join me of course. Sunday evening, after registration and the morning sessions we all went out to theMuseu de la Ciència. This is apparently one of the most heralded science museums in all of Europe and was very interesting thankfully for us most of the exhibits were hands on so there was very little “NO”. The highlight for Lilah, and as it turns out the trip really, was when we found the Voice changer. The first time we went it was to crowded with children fighting for the microphone so they could say “hola” and “bueno” so Lilah only was only able to be confused for a few seconds before some kid pushed his way in front of her.
After we went and visited the rain forest exhibit, which is indeed a small rain forest habitat complete with flesh eating fish and humidity, as closing time neared we went back and Lilah was able to produce this gem of a performance, singing “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” with the voice of an “Old Man”. The crowd that gathered got a kick out if as well as I did, seems some of the spanish kids even recognized the song. My favorite part, however, is how Lilah snaps her head around at the end expecting, nay demanding, applause from the on-lookers. (unfortunately Camille had went to the bathroom for the original performance).
