Catching Up

I'll try to do a week's worth of post in one...

Today we went to the playground in Central Park at E. 96th St. It was our first trip to the East Side, walking just the 4 of us that is. They have Sandbox Programs in Central Park this summer where each day of the week at different playgrounds there is a kids music program. I was excited that I actually remembered reading about it and made a plan to be there today. There was a crowd.
Jack was totally uninterested. He sat with me for 5 minutes while they were setting up and said "ok, it's over." And this is where he spent the rest of the concert.

In the sand! With the 5 other kids not into the program

Afterwards he just played.

I couldn't believe he jumped on this thing surrounded by other kids. He spent the whole time yelling "excuse me" because that girl in the front wasn't moving.Then he climbed to the top of this thing and showed me his muscles.

Lillie and Elliott slept a little at the park. Jack was worn out by the time we got home. After a few minutes had passed since I put them all down this is what I found.
Jack insisted on napping with ALL the pillows... and his red chair. And he usually falls asleep with his green blanks over his head.Elliott.. wide awake!Lillie... wide awake!

This afternoon Jack and Lillie waited in front of the elevator for Freddy T. to get home.
The rest are just a few more pictures from today and over the past week.

Freddy T. and Jack playing Memory while I cleaned the kitchen.Elliott and Freddy T. hanging out.
The first picture of them all 3 sitting togetherBest Friends!

Uhh...you think I would not be having withdrawals already! I can hear Jack saying "excuse me" and "look at my muscles!" Tell him I miss playing at the park with him. And I loved the pillows in the bed...HA! I'm sure he said "just two more." :) Thanks for posting all the great pics.

susan. can i just say that i am wowed by the fact that you are so hip in the city and know all the fun stuff like the sandbox thing and the stroller class and such. And, honestly, I am even more wowed that you take the time to blog about it! You are my version of wonder woman. I am so impressed and LOVE being able to watch the kids grow up on this blog. Thanks for keeping us all in the loop like this.

You're in my google reader—only because you are the person who told me about google reader. otherwise, I'd never know what's going on with anybody.

love to the wyatts,
amy j
