In the last week we have taken some video of both of the kids and thought we'd post a clip of each of them here in hopes of keeping our mothers from disowning us.

On Saturday, we went to the Explora Museum, which is a children's museum dedicated to hands-on learning in science, technology and art. Or, as Kate thinks of it, the place with the giant bubble-blowing station.

Previous to Saturday's excursion that was her favorite part of the museum, but I think we may have a new winner. Towards the end of our visit, Dan and Kate walked ahead while I stopped to tend to something for Isaac. When I caught up with them, they were in a part of the museum dedicated to demonstrating various aspects of light. I had never taken Kate there before, assuming most of the experiments would be over her head, and many of them are. But what I didn't know was that in the heart of that section of the museum they have a mirror room. Yes. A small room covered from walls to ceilings, with mirrors. Stepping into it as an adult is pretty horrifying since it enables you to see yourself from every possible angle. I could not get out of there fast enough. Kate, on the other hand, has zero inhibitions and possesses an abiding faith in her own fabulousness. And so perhaps it will come as no surprise when I tell you that Kate LOVED the mirror room. Apparently she has been waiting her whole life to see herself reflected 6,000 times. We had to drag her out of there a half hour later. But not before we got some video of Kate singing and dancing ... with herself. This was shot with Dan's I-phone, so it isn't the best quality, but I'm so glad we had a camera.

And while that is a tough act to follow, I caught Isaac in a chatty mood on a recent morning and got some video of him too. Notice his double chin(s).
