Seattle Children's Museum

My parents joined the Children's Museum here in Seattle, so we decided to check it out one Friday. They had a special exhibit that was just for young toddlers like Kallen. Once he gets older, I bet he'll love the other sections, but we'll probably just keep hanging out in the toddler area until he gets a bit bigger. Here are some of the fun things he got to do.

I don't know what these toys are called, but Kallen loves them. In fact, one time a bigger kid walked in front of him to play with it, and Kallen got a little frustrated and tried to push him out of the way. Silly Kallen.


Kallen is a little afraid of slides as you can tell from this picture. Also, he's afraid of elevators. Have any of you ever heard of a kid afraid of elevators? Kind of sad huh? Hopefully he will outgrow this. At least in the second picture he tolerated going down the slide with Grandma.



This whole toddler exhibit had a sea theme, so they had some plastic seaweed that the kids could walk through. Kallen liked this a lot too.


This was a whale that kids could climb through. No matter how hard we tried to get him to climb through it, Kallen wouldn't budge.

Now this last picture shows Kallen's favorite part of the whole exhibit. He loved playing in the water with all of the boats and sea animals. Most of all though he just loved to splash. I felt bad for all of the other kids that were around him, because he got them all wet. They had little splash guards that the kids could wear, but they didn't really help. By the end of the day, he was soaked.

It's okay to be afraid of obviously terrifying things like elevators and tunnels!:) Maybe he's claustrophobic. I think it is so fun you can have these fun things to do together. I love exploring new places with Lydia and seeing her reaction. Have fun!
