Auld Lang Syne

We're going away for the weekend.

So....
HAPPY NEW YEAR!


or do you like this version better?

Bah Humbug

Every year I say I'm not going to wait till the last minute to buy Holiday gifts.
Well, here I am again, a couple days before Christmas and I still have to get some gifts.

UGH! I'm heading into Manhattan with a big ass stroller and I'm prepared to push frazzled shoppers aside and shove tourists outta my way.

I hope I find what I'm looking for. Otherwise people will have Present Face.

On The Waterfront

I'm going through photos of Critter and selecting some for a calendar for Mom. Shhhhhh. Don't tell her she's getting a calendar of Critter photos for Xmas.

I just saw photos of Critter's favorite thing to do in Brooklyn.

After having brunch at his favorite restaurant (with the fish tank), he likes to go to the waterfront in Dumbo.

He sits and gazes at the river and the expansive city beyond.

Then he plays with the rocks. Picking them up, inspecting and tossing them toward the water.
Every time we've been there (which is often), there's been an Asian couple taking wedding photos. See upper right hand corner.

We move to another part of the waterfront and he plops down and more rocks go flying.

He'll move rocks from one area to another.

We'll then ride the famous Jane's Carousal.

Then he'll play with the grass and dirt

Then he'll try to climb on anything within range.

And look up at me indicating I better not stop him.

There's also a playground we visit. Have juice and snacks. Play with his ball.
By the end of the afternoon, Hubby and I are more exhausted then Critter.
