The Magic House-or, further speculation on Huxley's career options.

Mom bought Hux a membership to The Magic House-St. Louis' AWESOME Children's Museum -  and we had a great time.  As Hux tried his hand at many different play options, we can all play the game of "what will Hux be when he grows up."

First up-ice cream guy-he was a natural!



Next, he's clearly really into the fishing (see yesterday's post too -hint, hint Grandpa Tom).

Hux didn't really seem all that excited about banking, but perhaps it was because the kids around him were pretending to be bank robbers and just threw some cash at Hux to make him "look the other way."

Hux was very excited about being a pizza server -just keep those pitchers full of water buddy!

Hux tried his hand at doctor once again (see yesterday's post).  

My personal favorite profession is Hux as potential Blue Man Group performer-look at him wail on those pipes!

Hux also makes a great auto mechanic-and that requires a lot less schooling than doctor!

Finally-Hux is an excellent artist!

Science Center & Happy Birthday Sarah!

 The fabulous WUMCHA group (mostly wives of the residents/fellows), had a playgroup outing to the Discovery Room of the Science Center.  Hux and I walked over and went in with lots of moms and kids to this great room specially designed for young kids.

 Samuel was there with his mom and sister and he and Hux played doctor together.  Wonder what their daddies do all day...this looks pretty easy.

  Notice Hux is easily pointing at X-rays and diagnosing problems-why does it take Daddy so long?

Hux also makes a great "Indian" -or "Red Man" as he called himself thanks to the Peter Pan song.

He and Samuel caught fish...
 

...and fried them over the fire.

 Hux can always turn scientist, if doctor gets boring...

...also water engineer is yet another career choice up Hux's alley-or should I say waterway.

When we were done with the Discovery Room, we went to the dinosaurs' exhibit downstairs.
 

Finally, Hux was one of the only kids (and one of the littlest) to manipulate the robot to scoop up little balls from the pit.  Then, it was time to walk home (Hux promptly fell asleep in the stroller!).  I do love the WUMCHA group -such fun playgroups and such great moms!

Mom arrived in time for a great birthday dinner at Zia's-AWESOME Italian meal.  She brought birthday cupcakes-YUM!
