I mentioned in an earlier post that we went to Connecticut to visit family this weekend. We saw my parents as well as my sister, her husband, and their son Alex. Alex is about four months younger than Caleb and I think they had a blast together. (Be sure to click on the photograph for a full slide show with images and descriptions.)

The highlight of the trip was definitely a few-hour stint at the Stepping Stones Museum for Children in Norwalk. In contrast to what Caleb and I experienced at the Boston Children’s Museum, this museum is awesome. To be clear, we only made it to three of the exhibits and the toddler play area and the kids still had a great time. Also in contrast to the Boston Children’s Museum, most of the kids were around Caleb’s age, and the exhibits were about 10 times better. There were materials for all of the kids to play with, and the exhibits were not only in great shape, but very educational and stimulating.

If you are within a 50 mile radius of the museum, I highly recommend that you take your tots for a visit.
