Best.Day.EVER!
Today I had the boys all to myself until 5, so I asked Moo what he would like to do for an adventure. His first choice was to go for Bagels. We started there and had a great time. Such a great time, in fact, that I forgot to pay (they also forgot to ask for my money, so it's not all my fault.) I realized it when we got to the cleaners to pick up the stroller. I wrote down everything we had so I can go back there and pay up. I'm in there like 3 times a week, so it's more funny than a crisis. ANYWAY.
After that, we went to the Central Park Zoo. Moo had a great time looking at and learning about the animals. It's amazing to me how his Zoo experience changes as he gets older. 3 years ago he just wanted to run through the rubber curtains and look at the fuzzy things and call them all "Psh, psh." Now he wants to know which ones are mammals. Speaking of little ones at the Zoo. Izzy woke up halfway through the visit and was very upset that I wouldn't let him jump in the tank and play with the sea lions, which he called "Boo-biyi." Because, according to him all animals are dogs, and all dogs are Blueberry. Unless they're cats. Then they're "hickeys."
Then we went to the Tisch Children's Zoo and Moo fed all the animals and pet them and Izzy thought they were just awesome to look at, but got a little nervous if they came too close. Both boys had a ball on the spiderweb and in the eggshells and stuff and once everyone was shvitzed out and tired, we headed back to the west side.
We dropped off the stroller and went to Noi Due for milkshakes (frulattas, whatever) and french fries. It was at this point I realized I was having the most delightful day with two magical little boys who make my heart sing.
