don't forget about the children

Seal Pup 1.0 has taken to referring to himself and his brother as "the children." I think it's hilarious. We wake up to, "the children are awake now..." We are nudged to come up with meal plans with, "the children are hungry..." and so on and so forth. When school closes for a federal holiday or because of snow, we discovered that the children become especially cranky because they are bored. While the parental units are fun, they are small potatoes compared to teachers and school friends, apparently. In order to entertain "the children" for our last holiday, we visited the southeastern Connecticut Children's Museum for a morning of fun (and apparently, "discovery"). It's a small and modest museum, but it does offer some opportunities for scientific and dramatic exploration
And, well, "the children" had fun. So there's that.
More pictures of "the children" can be found in flickr.
