Day 222

Today Mama and Temu went to the Smith College Museum of Art for Family Day.  The museum is really lovely and has a great collection - not too big or too small.  Mama thought our visit would either last 10 minutes or significantly longer.  We were there for nearly 1 1/2 hours and saw all exhibits and every gallery; Temu loved it.  It was very fun seeing the art through his eyes - he loved paintings with people and animals (esp animals for which he can make the sound...) and really liked the sculptures and marble carvings.  I did point out the one piece of Ethiopian art that they had, but it didn't compare to the Greek vases, which he had a particular interest in.  This certainly won't be our last visit, especially with winter on its way.  


Temu loved the stairs - their artsy banisters were helpful for kids of all heights.

 The museum has a great collection of benches scattered throughout - kids were allowed to sit, crawl, and climb on them.


 Drooling at the amazing art - or just drooling because of more teeth making their way in?
