Big Fish

By
In the last few weeks, Jack has really turned the corner with swimming. Earlier this year, he was very hesitant in the water. He took a while to get in, was very afraid of going under and didn't want to swim by himself. Since our trip to Connecticut, where he swam with Olivia and Andrew and since starting camp, where he has swim lessons twice a week, he's practically a fish. He jumps in (someone still needs to be there to catch him, but this is much much better than essentially pulling him off the side), he swims on his own using a noodle, and he puts his face in the water.

It's amazing what he learns when he's not around us! ;)

Now to work on Spencer....

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 ...
