Favorite Toy



Ok, it isn't really a toy, but he is totally in love with 2 spatulas we have. He pretty much carries one or the other around with him all day.

Playing at Home





When you are having this much fun in the living room, why go out?

Patriot's Day

In MA (and in ME too they tell me) we celebrate Patriot's Day . It is a big deal and our town has its own parade which was held on Sunday. We sat on the sidewalk flanking the site of the bloodiest battle of the day. I hope Jack appreciates how amazing it is we can walk to a spot where Paul Revere passed on his famous ride!

The parade featured a large assortment of firetrucks, police cars and fife/drum corps, some coming from as far as Westbrook, CT and Manchester, NH. There was also the usual assortment of scouts, mainly brownies and junior girl scouts. There was a jazz band (pictures included) and our town's pop warner cheerleaders, which are actually national champions in their division. This surprised me greatly until I looked at the roster of champions and they are all in NJ, CT, or MA. The big football/cheer states must compete in something other than Pop Warner.

Eventful Week

Now that the weather is nice, it seems like we are out and about a lot more even though Jack has a minor cold that has kept us out of our normal classes.

I don't have pictures, but Jack had his first T rides this week. (I have seen people get screamed at for taking pictures on the T so didn't chance it.) We took the bus to the subway and went downtown to meet a friend of mine from high school for lunch. Jack was extremely well behaved the whole time and we made a lot of new friends on the bus:) Actually as we got on the subway in the same car was a 12 month old girl on her first T ride as well. As bizarre as this is, it was his first trip to a city.

We also have gone to the swings pretty much everyday this week.
