American Mu-SZAAMM! of Natural History

One of our parenting resolutions for the year is to do more day-trips as a family. We are going to attempt to do one trip per month. We both found ourselves with the same weekday off so we headed into the City to visit the American Museum of Natural History. Being the avid Curious George reader, Tristan was quite familiar with museums, dinosaur bones and such. For some reason, he can not properly pronounce 'museum'. He would say, 'mu-SZAAM!'. I tried several times to help him through it but the more I said 'muu-SZEEEEEE-UMMM', the louder he would say 'mu-SZAAM!, mu-SZAAMMM!'. (sigh) His version of the word is more fun anyway.
