Weekend Watch
My faves for this weekend:
Thanks to Dinah at A Likely Story in Old Town for letting me know about their special event on Saturday, February 18 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Meet Jane O'Connor, author of Fancy Nancy, to learn some fancy lessons, just like Nancy teaches in the book. Fancy walking, talking, eating, and sipping, with cookies and drinks served. Kids are encouraged to come in fancy dress (optional), and you can get your book signed (in fancy script, natch) by the author. FREE, and no reservations required.
Also on Saturday, if you're up for day-tripping to Baltimore, the fantastic Port Discovery children's museum is hosting one of their "Infant and Toddler Days" from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Geared for infants to age four. Admission is required. The schedule of events is:
Doggie Tales from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Tiny Tot Treats with Whole Foods Market from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Kindersinger at 1 p.m., repeating at 1:30 p.m.
I really like Port Discovery, and my only reservation about taking a toddler there is that many of the permanent activities and exhibits are more appropriate for older preschoolers. However, these special events for infants and toddlers are the PERFECT time to check out the museum. And it's a nice plus that it's located two blocks from the harbor, with plenty of restaurants, shopping, and people-watching to make it a full-day family outing. If you've never been there before, prepare to pay for parking at the garage right next door to the museum. (Or, if you don't plan to be there more than 2 hours, it's easy to find a metered spot on the street.)
Enjoy!
