And here is a nest and egg that she made out of feathers, string, and tissue paper. We learned all about eggs and the creatures that lay them at a program at the Hall called Preschool Adventures. At our next Adventure we'll learn about our bodies.

Hall of Science
Alice worked for quite a long time building this molecule during a recent Hall of Science visit.

Alice, remember your first autumn...
...when this contraption kept you occupied while we cooked dinner? 
...and your favorite activity at the playground was picking up schmutz to eat?
...and you dressed as Manny Ramirez for Halloween?
We love you more every day, our growing-up girl!

Day with Dad
Kite flying workshop at Socrates Sculpture Park. There was a really big turnout! It was a lovely day, though hot. Here's Alice with her friend Natalija. Alice is sporting Natalija's old t-shirt.
Retreat to the rock garden at the Isamu Noguchi Museum. Alice had fun walking on the stone gravel. Dad had fun eating a sandwich. Both had fun looking at the stone and paper sculptures in the cool (in temperature but also in the other sense) museum. Mom had fun swimming in the pool at Flushing Meadows Park.

Bronx Zoo with Mimi
Sarah likes the giraffes best. Alice noticed the picture of the zebras on the sign. She didn't say much about the giraffe here. But the sign - well, that was great!
It felt good to walk around outside all day.
Lunch at the zoo.

Coco's Garden
This week Alice started her garden. We turned the soil over a bit and planted some seeds and a few small plants. We hope that everything, or at least something, grows! We planted decorative and edible beans in the back by the fence, clematis, columbine, marigolds, and even some sunflowers. Alice picked out the sunflowers. She was so excited about gardening, saying "We're gonna buy some seeds. We're gonna plant some plants. We're gonna paint a sign for the garden!" After planting the seeds, we came upstairs and she walked around the apartment with her empty seed packets saying, "Want more seeds..." over and over. I hope we get some sprouts soon!
Visiting Blake (and the duck) at the Park
We had a wonderful visit with Blake this week at his apartment and in Central Park. We spent some quality time together watching a...
DUCK! The duck quacked at us. It walked over to us and quacked. It walked away from us and quacked. It stood still. It was the greatest thing that ever happened to these two toddlers. We love you, Duck!
We love you, Blake!
And we love you, Central Park!
