Hurricane Prep

By
It's a bit surreal right now knowing that this big storm is coming but having no idea what to expect. We did attempt to be responsible by buying water and a few non-perishables and I also charged the drill batteries for our one flashlight. And now we wait.

Tomorrow and Tuesday should be interesting. In one way, I'm quite happy that we're in NYC because everything is close. If we absolutely need something, we'll figure out how to get it. In another way, it's a bit scary because if anything major happens, we're stuck on this little island with 8 million other people.

Fortunately, there are several families in our building with families of similar age. We'll end up having rotating playdates to keep all of the little ones busy (and keep the parent sane)!

Fingers crossed that we don't lose power as we'll also lose water (and that does freak me out). More to come..

We lucked out and got an extra seat for his carseat (ok, I lucked out, but still...)  Sleepy times with Grandma    Enjoying a new toy!   Such a big boy

By
Jack and Spence "graduated" from their respective preschool programs in the last couple of weeks. While the road along the way wasn't always the smoothest, the outcome couldn't be better. At Spencer's 2s club event, the kids demonstrated all the new skills they had learned in the gym. Lots of forward rolls, big jumps on the trampoline, and amazing core strength. The kids then enjoyed their favorite book of the year: mean soup. Afterward each child received an award. Spencer followed Jack's footsteps on this part by refusing to go up to accept the award. Regardless, we were so proud of Spence. He loved having his independence, being involved in a class, making new friends, and just having fun. Next year Spence starts preschool at the Y. Jack's tender care graduation was last friday. The event was held in the Little Theater at the Y. Jack was so excited to be on the stage. The class sang several songs ending with what has to be the anthem of kids 3...
