Loyalty

Jack went to Carson's, one of his good friends, birthday party this weekend. Another good friend, Jake was there too. The party was held at Chelsea Piers - on the first day that the facility reopened following Hurricane Sandy. The place was awesome - great gym and lots of room. The kids had a blast.

The party was construction themed with toy trucks decorating the table where the kids ate pizza and had cake. All the kids were particularly keen to play with one of the toys, a digger. Towards the end of the party, Jack's friend Jake had it. A little boy, who was slightly older than Jake, was across the table demanding the toy. Jake stared at him blankly refusing to give him the toy regardless of his pleas (this same boy had been unwilling to share with Jake earlier.). After a few minutes, Jack calmly asked for the toy. Jake looked at him, and easily slid it over to Jack.

Could not have been more calculated! Jake's mom and I had to walk away it was so funny.

Called up

This weekend, the t-ball team was short a few players. Spencer was called up from the practice team to fill in. He was one of the smallest on the field, but played well, even teaming up with Jack for an out!

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 ...
