Well, we finally got the chance last night, and boy was it a bargain! Friday evenings from 5 to 9 p.m. the museum offers $1 admission (compared to the normal $12) sponsored by Target, and since admission for children under 1 year is free, we got into the museum for a grand total of $2! Of course, we had to pay for parking, but it was totally worth it.

There are a couple of sections of the museum that are specifically geared toward toddlers, like the [PlaySpace](http://www.bostonchildrensmuseum.org/exhibits/playspace.html) and [Peep's World](http://www.bostonchildrensmuseum.org/exhibits/peep.html), where we spent most of our time. Still, I can't wait until Emmett is old enough to enjoy some of the cooler areas of the museum like the awesome [New Balance Climb](http://www.flickr.com/photos/littlebabylump/4259783560/in/set-72157623173413806/?rotated=1&cb=1263054241202), a "3-story climbing sculpture made of brightly painted curved platforms." To be honest, James and I both wished we were a little younger so we could play in it ourselves. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2aoRUubvas&hl=en_US&fs=1&] The coolest thing about the trip was the opportunity for Emmett to interact with other kids his age, which he rarely gets to do. James and I had a lot of fun watching him play. Let's put it this way -- Emmett is definitely not a shy kid, and he definitely doesn't need to know James and I are in proximity to have a good time. Oh, and yeah -- [he's a *huge *fan of bubbles](http://www.flickr.com/photos/littlebabylump/4258991681/in/set-72157623173413806/).
