Glass half full

By
This afternoon after the boys were up from their naps, we headed out to enjoy the end of a nice day. I asked Jack where he wanted to go as we were waiting by the elevator. His response was the zoo. I said that the zoo may be closed. Jack quickly and softly said, "it may be open". The optimism and sweetness in that single statement warmed my soul.

As a post script, the zoo closed right as we arrived. Instead, we went to FAO Schwartz. Jack was wide-eyed the entire time we were there and he left with Woody and Rex figures from Toy Story. All around a great afternoon!!

School Projects

By
Jack has a school project due this Friday. The project is to visit a specific historic landmark in the city and then put together a write-up about the visit and place. Jack's location is Hamilton Grange which was the country home of Alexander Hamilton. We visited a few weeks ago (yep, we've have the assignment this long). Finally, Jack started putting together the project today. OMG, it was like watching me from 30 years ago. There was denial and defensiveness, then came tears and finally he produced really good work. If this is what the next 15 years are going to be like, we are in trouble. Also - sorry Mom, I know I tortured you with this experience many many times.
