First Purchase

By
If you haven't picked this up from other posts, Jack loves trains - above ground and below. He has collected several subway cars and enjoys playing with them. A few weeks ago, he realized that he did not have a C train, and therefore, needed to get one (needed, not wanted, needed)

Justin and I decided that it would be a great learning experience for him to spend his own money on this one. We helped him count out what was in his "money saver" (the first coins in the "money saver" were captured here). We traded him a few bills for change and put everything in his wallet.

Today, Jack, Spencer, and I headed to Grand Central to make the big purchase. Jack made sure that we had his wallet and that we paid with his money. Though quite honestly, I'm not sure that he grasped that he was giving up some of his money to get the train. He was so excited about the train! I guess there's time to learn the value of money.

Regardless, Jack was so happy! He even said so himself just before going to sleep for his nap. For now, that means money well spent.
Thrilled with his first purchase!

Echo echo echo...

We welcomed a new pet to our home: Echo, a lovely red Betta. The name is all Spence, though he did pose a few other suggestions. Spence: I'm going to name it Bluey. Me: the fish is red. Spence: then I'll name it Reddy. Me: Let's stick with Echo. That's a cool name.

Sunday Afternoon in the Park

By
Could be a well known play, but in this case, it's the new Yankee Stadium. I picked up tickets Thursday afternoon for today's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is the first game we've been to at the new stadium. The new stadium is very nice - much more in line with other new stadiums. There is a lot more space in the walkways - more food options - and much better bathrooms! The latter being most important to me right now. Our tickets were in left field in the upper deck. All in all, decent seats - but the sun made them a bit unbearable. The game started off slow - I mean slow. The first two innings took almost 2 hours. We were roasting in the sun! Eventually, we decided to walk around to check out the rest of the stadium and get out of the sun. The game got much better after we starting moving. Eventually, we ended up on the first level watching the game from the walkway. The pregnancy bump paid off, because one of the ushers in this area let us sit down in the shade
