Skills

I remember a friend posting something to Facebook asking how you teach a toddler to blow his/her nose. I think I was pregnant with Jack at the time the question was posted and it really got me thinking...and stressed. I had no idea?!?!

Well, somehow, we have managed to teach Jack to blow his nose. In fact, he has solid nose blowing skills that he likes to demonstrate multiple times a day. The only problem is that he hasn't associated having a tissue as a prerequisite for blowing your nose. So, snot and boogers get blown not only on tissues, but also on hands, books, Lovey, blankie...pretty much anything.

This is definitely an "oh well" phase for us! :)

Veritable Dutch Wonderland

Mother's Day weekend, we planned a little trip out of NYC. We headed to Lancaster, PA - close enough for a night away, but far enough away to feel very different than NYC. The weekend was a lot of fun (and honestly a lot of work). All in all, the boys did well. Highlights below: Dutch Wonderland Lancaster is home to several tourist things. We picked one: Dutch Wonderland family amusement park. My cynical self really doubted that we'd enjoy this experience. I was worried that it would be cheesy. But I was wrong. Well yes, it was kind of cheesy because it was a family amusement park. But it was so fun. The place was very geared to families with young children. The rides are categorized by height so it's easy to know what rides your kids can ride. Jack tried several rides: big trucks, bulldozers, leaping frogs, the monorail. He even drove a car! He had a really good time. Spence was a good sport as there wasn't much for him to do. Maybe next year. Justin felt right ...
