Julia's Philbrook Adventure

We took Julia to the Philbrook Museum of Art in January for one of their free family Saturdays. Just for signing up, Julia got her very own art kit, complete with a pad of paper, a pencil, and an eraser, and a promise for more art supplies if we bring her back. Hilarious possessions for a then thirteen-month-old, I know. We only let her "write" with the pencil under tight supervision, lest she poke her eye out.

I really love that museums, libraries, etc. are such good sports about parents signing up their much-too-young children for such things, because they have the foresight to know that children grow and that it's better early than late for getting children interested in art, reading, etc. I mean, Julia couldn't even scribble at the time, let alone participate in the clay sculpture making going on there that weekend, but even a couple months later, I think she'd have a lot of fun at one of their events, and certainly will by the time she's even older.  Hooray for beautiful art and beautiful gardens and family friendly (free!) events!
