Today was our day.
Matthew was dropped off at grandma's to do "big boy stuff" like drive Uncle Mark to gymnastics and go to McDonald's. Baby Caleb and I decided to go to the MacKenzie Art Gallery.
Caleb is at such a fun stage right now; he enjoys exploring the world around him and takes delight in the little things we tend to take for granted as we get older.
It was such a wonderful experience to explore the gallery with an eleven month old. He started out in his stroller, but we soon realized that most of the exhibits are difficult to view from that vantage point. Out he came and he enjoyed being carried around to look at the different sculptures, smile at them, wave to them and then point me in the direction of the next one he wanted to see up close.
Our favourites were the life size baboon by David Gilhooly, the cows by Joe Fafard and the preserve pantry by Vic Cicansky. The Vic Cicansky one's are particularly interesting since he is Rick's Mom's cousin and we actually got a piece of his artwork (the pickles pictured at the top) as a wedding gift. All these were in the Regina Clay exhibit.
We came home, had a quiet lunch, then watched Baby Neptune together.
*Please note the extra bulky sweaters--it's FREEZING today!*Now he's napping and I'm thinking about joining him :)

Oh my, you're a GOOD mommy! Cool stuff, cool finds.
very cool that you get Mommy/Matthew, Mommy/Caleb dates. You're a good mama, M.
I am interested in what room the Cicansky pickle jar will go? Do you have a theme going on in your decor that we don't know about?
