On May 21st, my brother Ben's baby daughter came into the world, weighing 7 14 1/2 ounces and looking the spitting image of her proud father! Today we got to meet her for the first time and she is just soooo cute and so contented! Jasmine just loves little babies and kept tucking her in and stroking her cheeks and hands. Even ben likes little babies and they both wanted to hold her - soooo cute!
Before we went to visit Skylar, we took the kids to the Natural History Museum and they were so excited that they just kept running from one ehibit to the next with barely a pause in between! They absolutely loved the dinosaur bones, but absolutely hated the animatronic, life-sized T-Rex (which came complete with very realistic sound effects!). I tried to convince Jasmine that he wasn't real and that he probably had batteries just like Ben's Roboraptor, but she was having none of it. Even Ben was a little scared. I must admit, I don't blame them - the thing was huuuge and moved in a very life-like way!
Trying to keep an eye on two very excited little children that are running from one thing to the next, whilst dodging crowds is a very nerve-wracking experience. I was worried that they'd get lost or separated from us so found it hard to really relax. We only stayed for about 1 1/2 hrs, but it felt like so much longer - a great place to take the kids, but you definately need to do it in small manageable chunks of time. Needless to say they were both fast asleep within minutes of being back in the car and driven across London to visit Skylar.
