We just returned this weekend from Pisa and Florence. The kids loved The Leaning Tower, though they were bummed because they are too young to go up in it.
In Florence we decided to take the kids into one of the museums. We picked the one with this famous statue of David. The kids did a great job inside of the museum--they were very fascinated by Michelangelo's works especially (Eli asked me afterward if I thought he should make things out of wood or out of stone when he grows up).
Gabriel took particular interest in the Statue of David. We saw this view as we approached it. After looking at it for a few minutes, he looked up at me in the most serious way and stated, "Mom, I need to see his bum now." It was so funny and cute!
Later as we walked around the statue, I was telling Eli and Adam how Michelangelo had studied the human body so that he could make this statue so accurately. I pointed to David Moss's flexed leg muscle in front of us and showed them how similar the shape of the statue's leg was. Gabe heard me saying this, looked up at his Dad, and exclaimed for all English comprehenders to hear (this is most of the people there), "Dad, He looks just like you!!" This is quite a compliment since this statue is supposed to be the ideal man's figure!! I certainly won't be found disputing the statement!! :)
