mommy-daughter dates

I am trying to be a little bit more conscientious about having special date times with Eliana. Today while daddy and his buddies enjoyed Snowbowl, Els and I hit the town. She requested the Children's Museum and for whatever reason, we were the only two there for most of the time. It was like our own giant adventure land (and, the best part is, I didn't have to clean anything up!) Thanks to a membership gift from her Nana and PopPop, the Children's Museum has become one of Eliana's favorite haunts, especially on chilly, gray days like today. She moves from one activity to the next with confidence and ease and I happily follow her lead. Here she is watching herself on the weather station, exploring the water table and digging for dinosaur bones.


Most of our excursions are usually followed by a treat at Bernice's Bakery, her favorite townie spot. Today we shared an herb cream cheese croissant with a side of raspberry jam. That sweet and savory combination was a perfect metaphor for our perfect morning.
