According to these two, a good time is marked by the number of things that can be stepped off and climbed on. Thankfully, Prospect Park provides ample opportunity for exploring and keeping one's parents on their toes! We spent an action packed morning taking in the sites around the boathouse. A beautiful spot to welcome spring.
First we searched for Christopher Robin and Tigger. Then gathered sticks for our make believe campfire. We ran on bridges and under tunnels and climbed giant boulders. I'm always struck by Central Park. Even though it's surrounded by a city of 8 million, it's still possible to find secret corners and uninterrupted views. A paradise if there ever was one for a curious pair.
The sun begins to set. I could be home washing dishes or putting my own kid to bed. But instead, I head out to the edge of Brooklyn to run around the warehouse and graffiti lined streets with this little sass-ma-frass. Who, of course, takes to her surroundings with stylish verve. Love working with you, doll. Let's do lunch.
She's now three, you see, and this means two things: 1) special visits from her family - who thankfully brought some Florida weather with them, and 2) a birthday party themed after her new best pal. No, not her brother silly! Though she likes him, too.
They make my job easier, these little people, who you can plop down on an expanse of gray enclosed by bricks and still make their day. It's one of the things I love about kids, they can find something fun and interesting in almost any environment. Throw in some playful parents and it's a great day in Dumbo.
