B came to my office at the end of the day yesterday (it was a childcare handoff b/c Ababa had to work an overnight shift in a hospital).
I had to stay late for an hour or so finishing up some work, so my handy assistant helped me file, pick-up copies from the copier, clean off my desk, and color on the backs of old presentations:-)
Then it was really late, so we got his favorite Indian food at a nearby restaurant. He was a total champ, though dinner took forever and neither the food nor the service were anywhere close to Sangam's (I have GOT to figure out how to make yellow dal like they did!)
Then we walked to the subway and saw A LOT of buildings on the way. B was yelling, "building, mama, that's a building, and another building, and ANOTHER BUILDING!!!!) His eyes were as big as saucers and hw had a HUGE grin on his face!
Then we walked past two excavators parked on the side of the road and some piece of construction machinery that I have no idea what it was. Then we had a special treat...PINKBERRY! (We split a small with plain with kiwi and strawberries on one side for him and peanut butter with jam, chocolate chips, and coconut for me--delish! (and their peanut butter flavor is amazing!)
Then we rode the subway all the way home, took an escaltor, walked the 4 blocks home, and trudged up the 4 flights of stairs (our elevator is closed for the next month for an upgrade:-( By the end he was exhausted and it was after 9:-( He had a little meltdown getting ready for bed but was asleep about 5 minutes after his head hit the pillow.
This morning we were both abruptly waken-up by woosha barking his head off to announce that Ababa was home. After breakfast, Ababa passed out on the couch and B, woosha, and I went for a long walk, played by the Hudson River, saw the Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Grey Bridge in person and had a great time. There was running, walking on a beach, climbing rocks, throwing a slobbery wet ball for a neighbor's black lab who was out for his daily "fetch and swim"outing. B took a loooooong nap today and then we got pizza for dinner (he still hates cheese but makes an exception for Domino's thin crust pizza).
What a great day! I left my camera and phone at home so no pics, but I'll try to get some tomorrow (if the weather is good, we're thinking about picnic and playground after church:-)
