One of the best things about Columbus

is our science museum, COSI. Every time we go there Maryam has a blast. The kidspace has a big water table she likes.








There's the helicopter







and the tree house

and riding toys and costumes. It's a wondrous place. The rest of the building has exhibits for older kids and adults, but with Maryam I usually just hang out in kidspace.





At another visit (when I didn't bring my camera), she held a big hissing cockroach. She was the youngest kid to do that, the handler said. And she just laughed and giggled as it crawled around her.

Note her dress - it's my most recent sewing creation, and my favorite dress I've sewn for her.
