Century of the Child

This past August I had a chance to spend a day with my mom before the busy school year began. Being my mom, {knowing that I am a passionate teacher}, she knew exactly where we should spend a day. We went to the Museum of Modern Art to see the exhibit on all things child related and I'm so glad we did.  It was the perfect day. 

Here we are sitting at huge table feeling like we were little kids!

I felt like a young child again as we moved through the fun filled Century of the Child exhibit. During the exhibit we saw a variety of things that brought us back through many memories we shared together.
