(
My son will be 2 and a half years old this Christmas. We purchased a Children’s Museum of Indianapolis membership this summer so that we could have a place to let him explore and learn. Since we started taking him to the museum on a more-regular basis, we saw our son’s progress take off like never before. Gavin was born 6 weeks early at just 3 lbs 5.9 oz, and has been our little miracle. He has not been ill, nor born with any great health concerns. However, we noticed some speech and developmental delays in him, so we put him in therapy. While that therapy has done wonders for him, Gavin didn’t REALLY come out of his shell until we began going to the Museum. Suddenly, he was making connections, starting to talk more, reciting his alphabet like you wouldn’t believe, and blossoming at an incredible rate. Watching life through his little eyes has been an experience I could never describe in a way anyone would understand. Knowing he has made such progress through the wonder of touch and play is even more awe-inspiring. This holiday season, we look forward to watching his new world come alive as he learns who Santa is and connects with the world through the spirit of sharing and love. This will be our first holiday season with the Museum, and we as parents are excited to see how it helps him “put it all together” in his ever-expanding mind. Whether it be how he interacts with the other children as he continues to understand what giving means, or whether it’s a themed exhibit that sparks something new in him, we know that the holidays with the Museum will give us many more wonderful and treasured family memories.
