I had moved Alden’s mattress into his new room and he slept ok.  Mommy made muffins for breakfast which were excellent.  We didn’t do much in the morning, tried to play guitar but the strings are buzzing.  Alden had been painting and coloring.  His latest is he wants to “run away!” when he gets upset.  [...]

When we made it to the museum it was closed!  [...]
