Curious George

Kit loves Curious George. She spotted and recognized him over a block away while strapped in her car seat. I am amazed she can see so well from back there. Oh, she became very excited to be visiting George!

We went straight to his exhibit.

After the initial excitement she became very comfortable. She calls him "Monkey George" and "George the monkey."

She talked a lot about visiting George's house. George lives in an apartment in NYC. Here we are in the lobby.

We played at the store for a long time. She sold me lots of fruit.

Kit was the first in line to see George. She gave him a big high-five then a hug.

She would come back to me with a huge smile then wait her turn again.

We said goodbye to George and drove to the market and pizza shop for lunch.

We then played in the water zone.

Kit waited very patiently for her turn with the measuring cup. Once she had it she was delighted and protected it carefully.

Earlier, a boy tried to take something from Kit. She blocked him with her shoulder then moved the item to her other hand and held it away from him. I was impressed then realized she plays with Sophia and Bryan. This kid had no chance.

We were first in line, again, for the next time George arrived. Kit gave him more hugs, hand shakes and high fives.

There were not many kids this time so she had a lot of 1:1 time with George.

Kit even danced with George!

Normally we do not buy things when we go out yet the store had this great Curious George kaleidoscope, made of metal.
