The Twist

Dexter doesn't say the word "no" but he has perfected the body language that says it loud and clear, arms and legs twisting this way and that enabling him to squirm out of just about any situation.

Staycation

I took a few days off of work last week in order to enjoy family time without the burden of travel. Ben had to work every afternoon so we planned our local outings for the mornings. Despite going to a meeting at work, writing a proposal, and working on a literature review I still managed to have some fun time with my boys. Ben and I took Dexter to the Museum of Science and Industry where Dexter enjoyed watching baby chicks hatch and playing at the Idea Factory. We enjoyed Chinese food in Chinatown. We took the "L" to the Conservatory and the Cultural Center.
