Portland's For Little People

Maybe you heard I visited Portland last week. Well, among many highlights, I rode a city bus for the first time. I begged Mom to let me out of the carrier so I could run around, like on the train, but apparently all forms of public transportation are not equal. We are supposed to sit in our seats on buses, I learned.
But the confinement on the bus was OK because our destination was the Portland Children's Museum! I had a lot of fun in Water World and didn't even get that wet. That's because there were complimentary waterproof smocks in three color-coded sizes hanging on hooks at the entry. How smart! Here Auntie Jill and I send a toy boat on a ride down the cascading locks.
Better yet was the hospital wing of the museum. I got to drive the ambulance!!! There were all these buttons that turned on the swirling lights, sounded the siren, etc. Auntie Jill was my co-pilot, which was cool because she's a nurse and she knew all the lingo as well as directions to the local hospitals. Here she is telling me to turn right to reach Good Sam hospital because the patient in the back is bleeding from a concussed tubercular compound arteriosclerosis. Yikes.
We communicated via radio. I could hear best if I held the receiver to my ear like a telephone. I should mention here that Mommy left me and Auntie Jill to play and laid down in the first-aid room and took a power nap. She was tired because I'd not slept well the night before. Not that it inhibited my ambulance-driving, don't worry!
I say, Portland is sure built for little people. This sink just my size, and as I'm learning to wash my hands--Mom keeps saying it's "flu season"--the height adjustment was appreciated.

I'll be back soon, Auntie Jill!
