Carroll Gardens

This morning we went to your swim class at the YMCA - unfortunately Cairo was sick so he missed today's class. Your kicking has really improved and you also love jumping into the water when we sing 'Humpty Dumpty.'

After swim class, we walked to Carroll Gardens to see my friend Lisa Marchese and her two kids, Emma (5) and Liam (3). Lisa and Kevin are expecting their third child in 6 weeks or less. How exciting. They moved from Manhattan to Brooklyn a few months ago so we went to check out their new apartment.
We had some snacks at Lisa's house - when Emma wasn't looking, I think you took some of her goldfish. Sneaky trick!
When Emma and Liam were done, you cleaned off their plates too!
You had fun playing with all of Emma and Liam's toys especially drawing with chalk on their mini-easel. You also enjoyed running around the garden area chasing bubbles - it was a bit windy to blow bubbles, so you just ran around in circles. Around 1:30PM, we walked back home and you feel asleep in the stroller. You must have been exhausted after swim class and running around with the other kids.

When we arrived home, you played with Daddy and then I put you into your crib since you only napped for 20 minutes on the walk home. You kicked and screamed but eventually settled down - I don't know if you slept because I took a nap too. Maybe you just had quiet time for an hour?
