Canton and Dad traveled to UVA today to watch the Cavs take on the Hokies! Before the match they attended a Youth Clinic where Canton got to go on the arena floor and wrestle some UVA players and see lots of other kids! He even got a picture with Coach Kevin Dresser, head coach for VT (mom used to babysit for him)!
Canton’s favorites were the heavyweights, maybe he’ll be there one day 😉
I was excited about the bubble wrap, then I saw the cool astronauts!
Wow! 20 weeks! Liberty is working hard on standing, but even though Canton was sitting at this time, Liberty is a little more stubborn, she only wants to stand. She definitely has her own mind! 🙂
Liberty just wants to stand and watch Canton all the time! Bonus picture–what happens when brother dresses sister!
Liberty doesn’t last more than two minutes without trying to throw herself out if her Bumbo, escape my lap, anything to stand instead of sit!
Liberty has always been great at soothing herself, but she’s a full fledged thumb sucker now. She may look like canton, but he never learned the art of self soothing….no pacifier, no thumb, just a fuss!
Canton ventured out on his first field trip today to the EMU Science Lab, with special guest, DAD! The day started off meeting the group in the lobby to put together some different patterns of colored buttons on a board. Once everyone arrived, the entire class walked over to EMU’s campus and went into one of their science buildings.
Our first stop was some small aquariums where we got to see a Nemo fish and a turtle. From there we went into the anatomy lab and got to hold actual human bones! Canton held a femur, scapula, and ulna! Not everyone can say they’ve done that. There were also lots of models including the human body, a heart, an eye, and an actual human brain! When in the anatomy lab, Canton told everyone what the heart did and even found a part of the brain the instructor couldn’t identify!
From there we went over to the animal exhibits where we saw lots of eggs, animals, rocks, and a 20ft boa constrictor! After leaving the science lab, we went outside to the EMU garden, crossed a really cool bridge, and had snack outside. After snack, we went to the EMU library to see some art work and finally back to the commons building where we started. We all got to run a lap on the indoor track too!
It was a fun day had by all!
So yeah, this is Canton drawing an atom, he says it’s lithium and he’s filling the outer shell with electrons…there are no words…:)
Canton and Liberty cheered the Hokies to VicTory over Miami!
