Feelin' Blue

Today we decided to go to the Mitchell Park Conservatory for a Lego Train Exhibit. "The Domes" are a conservatory and have an Arid Dome, a Tropical Dome and a Floral Show Dome that doubles as a rotating exhibit. Right now it has a train exhibit with lots of flowers and plants surrounding a train track and a pond. It was pretty neat and we are glad that we just happened upon it. Lots of the activities we do around town are things that we just happen upon. But the story actually lies before we left.

Porter was having a hard time getting ready, he doesn't really want to do things on his own right now, but we're trying to get him to be more independent. So, he was crying and I was getting frustrated and so we calmed down together - he's really good at counting to ten and taking deep breaths. After he calmed down, he grabbed his blanket and said, "Mom, me wiping my blues away with my blankie." Where he learned that, I don't know...but he got a big hug after he said it!
