Tourists

One!

Specially Equipped

I treat in a hotel pool, and it was really crowded on Monday since there were about 100,000 without power just in Westchester county alone. What is there to do when school is out and you are staying in a hotel with your family? You guessed it, you descend on the pool. I keep all my pool toys in a crate, and I minimized what I normally carry in there. I still does not stop kids and adults alike from ransacking my stuff. I have to keep getting it all back. If there is a couple of kids in there when I am treating, I usually share my toys. I just do not share when there is like 20 kids, otherwise my crate will end up empty. As I got my stuff back from this one group of kids, I told this boy nicely that it was "my equipment". Later as I retrieved an item out of my crate, the same boy said "excuse me, a rubber ducky is not equipment".

My Stalker

A few weeks ago, Mike was at the gym around closing time. It was just him and a few twenty-something girls standing in the hall putting on their coats. The girls were wanting one of their friends to dance, and she responded, "I can not dance with all those stalker types hanging around". Mind you, Mike was the only person anywhere near these girls.

Flash forward to today. We went to Rockefeller to enjoy the 2 foot snowfall today, and we took turns with Kuni. When Mike was out skiing, he struck up a short conversation with a woman who was walking her dog. The woman initiated the exchange, and they did the usual "what kind of dog is that?" and "Is your dog friendly?" discussions. When Mike skied away, he said the usual "See you later". Then he heard the woman say softly, "I would not count on that".

RIP Frosty

Mike built this snowman last night. He had a really hard time getting the second snowball off the ground and onto the base, but he managed somehow. We were out all day, and the last scene is what greeted us. I can not believe it was leaning at such an impossible angle without falling. He plans on fixing it tonight.

Snow Day

Katie enjoyed her first walk in a bunch of snow. She watched the kids go sledding, and enjoyed the ducks!

I discovered something new tonight. I was holding K and she was straining to poop. I then felt some warmth between us. Needless to say, it was a record setting, diaper exploding, result. Mike commented that she did a "big girl poop". Oh, they grow up so fast!

Kuni's Doppelganger

What's cookin?

So far, I think Katie may be a vegan. She has not really liked any meat or dairy foods we have introduced. She did enjoy tofu though. Her most violent reaction to any food so far has been to yoghurt. She actually shuddered when trying to eat a spoonful.
