We recently took a day trip to the Missouri state capitol, Jefferson City. The purpose of our visit was to obtain our criminal background checks as part of our home study for adoption. While we were there, we also had an opportunity to tour the capitol building. Since I'm not a history buff, I was surprised to find how much I enjoyed the experience. The building itself was fascinating, from the grand statues and steps leading into the entrance to the lovely murals on the ceiling and the fossils embedded in the walls and floor. What an architectural gem!
While I took in the beauty of the capitol and the quaint little shops downtown, Liliana found pleasure in the simpler things. She particularly enjoyed experimenting with the echo of her voice in the capitol building while looking for every opportunity to climb steps (and there were hundreds). While we waited at the office for our records, she played for at least 30 minutes with stones on a retaining wall. I never cease to be amazed at the things that interest her and the way her sweet 3-year-old mind works. She is such a little dynamo!
Here's to the simple pleasures. ~Ramona
