Jonathan asked me if I was taking video while taking this photo. He wanted to know if I was capturing the high pitched screeching noise coming from both girls. Nope, this will have to suffice.
This afternoon we went to MALBA. We had read in a guidebook that it had an interactive kinetic exhibit that children would love. But when we arrived we encountered a astonishingly beautiful collection of Latin American art, but unfortunately nothing remotely child friendly. Dava ran around saying "WOAH! WOOOOAHHHH!" which was delightful to me... but possibly not to our fellow museum goers. We were reminded by staff that the kids couldn't touch anything. Charlie delighted in the green penis on an otherwise black and white male torso.
We left shortly after and spent just as much time in the front of the museum as we had inside.
Afterward, we took a walk past many embassies, to a park in Recoleta. On the way home, Charlie explained to me that she wanted a butterfly as a pet. She said "I would put it in a special container, a big special container with flowers on it and orange flavors and fruit flavors." She said she wanted to take it on the plane, that she would take very good care of it and teach it how to behave. I suggested that we could get a caterpillar and watch it make a chrysalis and turn into a butterfly. She didn't like that idea.
Yaaaaas. I went to a sorta Met-like art museum in Houston with 10, 8, and 7 year old boys and it was a complete nightmare in the statue department. Happy the kids are delighting you with loud noises, I'd probably wear ear plugs. XO
ReplyDeleteMALBA! Yeah. No idea why any blog would say it's kid friendly. Glad some of Charlie's sex ed consists of identifying green penises.
