Parks and Recreation

Today Tosh went back to work.   Finn and I literally did not step foot outside the apartment.  We watched cartoons, watched more cartoons, played with play doh, and watched more cartoons.  It was really pretty nice to just do nothing as we have been on the go for 10 days.

I packed Finn two containers of play doh, a couple of cars, a book of stickers, and some paper for the trip.  Since we have been here he has gotten to buy some rockets and a dolphin.  Today he made this masterpiece...

I was really impressed with what he did.  He was able to get creative and I loved watching it.  At home Finn has a room full of stuff. Sometimes it can be overwhelming.  It is nice to sometimes step away and see what he can do with two things of play-doh and a couple of rockets. It has tested his imagination and creativity.  He has been using the rockets to make designs in the play-doh. He has used the space shuttle wing to cut the play-doh.   It is so eye opening to see what kids can do when they don't "have it all."  

Tomorrow we move onward to our next place for a week. We are really pretty excited to be moving on. As much fun as we have had in the Upper West Side, we are excited to see a new area.

I sure will miss all the parks though, especially Central Park.

Oh Central Park, you are a beauty.  Thank you for a great 10 days.  Hope to see you again soon.
