Dentist Trip

We went down to Baltimore for the weekend for a slew of appointments, to celebrate Grammy's birthday, go to our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt, and visit with friends. Our first stop was the dentist for a check-up for Andrew and Ryan's first appointment. It wasn't too pretty. Andrew did wonderful. He told me his favorite of all doctors was the dentist. Took great x-rays, cleaning, flossing. Great job.

 Ryan, well, here is a pic. Maybe next time!

Just playing

We got together a few times this week with a few of our friends.  As the kids have gotten a little older, indoor play dates have become my favorite thing. I can (almost always) carry on a entire conversation with another adult.

This is currently Ryan's favorite way to eat a snack. Almost everytime we get in the stroller to go somewhere I give him something to eat. So as soon as he gets in his stroller he says, "Mommy, something to eat peas." So, now even inside, he wants to eat in the stroller. Silly boy. 

Natalie visits!

Our friends Mike, Olivia and Natalie came for a visit! Olivia and I said we should really just lock Ryan and Natalie in a room and let them beat each other up. They were great together. We spent the first afternoon walking around Central Park and letting the kids run around on rocks and at the playground.

 The boys had to be a part of their family picture...

                                            I will always love these shots

 We made it out to the Bronx Zoo the next morning. The kids did pretty good and we stayed for a few hours. The highlight of the trip was definitely the peacock at the end and the popcorn on the ride home.

That is a baboon in the background-

 We thought this was a good shot…until...

              Beautiful!! He just stood there forever parading around.

 Olivia made our bath time more fun (for about 5 mins for Ryan) by adding glowsticks! Andrew thought it was awesome.

                                                                 All Clean!!

 After a quick breakfast out we tried to go to the museum, but the kids weren't having any part of it. We were there about 30 minutes. The joys some days of 2 year olds.

Happy First Day of Spring

We had a super busy first day of spring with our friend Mary and baby Quinn. Shopping in the Bronx, school, then a trek down to FAO to play on the piano and then a run around Central Park.  

 We had the entire piano to ourselves! It was great timing! Andrew could have played all day.

                                                 This picture of Quinn cracks me up!! Too cute!

 Robot hat off the hat wall!

 Andrew doesn't like ANY nuts, except the delicious almonds off the cart! YUMMY!!

The writing machine

Some days all Andrew wants to do is write. This was one of those days. He usually asks us how to spell things, but for this one paper today, he did it all on his own.

In case you were wondering, it says, Little Munchkin (drawing of a dum dum), Mustache dumdum. We aren't sure where the mustache idea came from, but…

These are some of the others from the day. Ryan loves to say HohOHo, that is why you will see it so often.

 This was my special one. He asked me how to spell because, then he asked what I loved. I told him, reading, exercising, and taking a nap, but then he never asked me how to spell them. Then he brought this to me. Its a picture of a bed, treadmill and book.

I love this creativity. I hope his love of reading and writing never ends! I can't wait to see what Kindergarten will bring! I love my sweet boy!
