For it's 1, 2, 3...

This year for Father's Day, Justin took Jack to his first major league game. They went to Citi Field to see the Mets play the Cubs. Jack's best friend Jake and Jake's dad Dan joined them.

There are a couple of options for getting to Citi Field: the 7 or LIRR. The guys decided on the 7 and Jake and Jack were probably more excited about riding the train to the stadium than the game itself. The 7 starts below ground at Times Square and after crossing the east River, is above ground all the way out to the stadium. Apparently the boys chatted about the train, all the stops, and what they saw along the way the entire ride. Dan described them as being like two old men bickering about which route to take. 

The stadium and their awesome seats were almost a disappointment (though I think Justin and Dan appreciated them) after the train. Regardless, they made the most of it - eating hot dogs, wearing baseball caps, roaming around the field, and eating Cracker Jacks.

Jack and Jake made it through the seventh inning before starting to wear out. This was about 2-3 innings longer than we expected! All in all, it was a great time!


ready to go (sporting our NY team's hat!)

Spencer Time

By
A few recent pictures of Spencer. He is growing like crazy and picking up all sorts of new skills like grabbing toys on the playmat, grabbing blankets or clothes and shoving them in his mouth, and his new favorite pastime, putting his feet in his mouth (with or without socks!).     Learning all the tricks on his first flight. 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

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!

Growing up

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...
