Tim had to go to a Museum for a homework assignment, and it was just another perk of being the family of a grad student. We checked out an Museum of Fine Arts pass from the library and made a family outing of a rainy afternoon.
We were the irrational parents who took a 5 month old to a prestigious art museum... She did better than we predicted; we got to take a break and feed her on a comfy bench in front of a collection of Rembrandts, walk circles through galleries to put her to sleep, and see the visiting Picasso collection. At one point Tim caught up with us while I swung her through a hallway of impressionist paintings, praying that would make her stop fussing in the painfully quiet gallery AND that she wouldn't choose that moment to projectile vomit all over Monet.
This sounds so wonderful! My mind takes me to strolling through an art museum in utter peace and tranquility...and then I remember that three toddlers plus art museum? Not a good idea for me. I'll just live vicariously through you! :)
ReplyDeleteHah you're thinking more of me than is fair. I would have never done it without Tim! Having Gemma double teamed makes all the difference.
