And that was the end of our visit! Maybe i'll take Hannah back when she's a bit older because it was actually a really great museum and i would have loved to spend more time there looking around.

I love that she took her Build a Bear.
And despite making it hard sometimes, I think it is also a joy to be raising a sensitive child.
How refreshing to read of a child so emotionally in touch with what pain and hardship is, as opposed to yet another child who is numbed by endless tv and video games, to everything.
It looks like a great day out, and one that I am sure Hannah will remember.
That does look like a really good museum but I can understand poor hannah being sensitive. i was the same as a child with the mummy part of our museum here, and our girls are the same now (just dont tell them that). As she gets older things will be a little easier, hopefully.
Still I am sure she has learned loads and loads from being there.
We have tried to aviod war and conflicts too for that very reason but will be looking at world war 2 this year for the first time with Hibiscus, but she is 12.
