The warmer the weather gets the more time we will be spending in the parks. Hooray!! We have many to choose from and playgrounds galore. Everytime Desi sees a dog he growls and points. He really gets thrilled by them and has gotten quite close at times and nearly been licked in the face and has seemed unbothered (of course, i'm quivering inside, yuck!)Yesterday after a bad wake-up session of 30 minutes, crying inconsolably, I thought we'd better get outoutout! We'd spent the morning out at a playground with our PlayGroup but I sensed he needed more of the outdoors (when babyeinstein failed to calm I knew this was a serious upset) I decided to head over to Inwood Hills Park so that he could do a lot of walking and roaming. I called Emma and Jonathan and they were already there at one of the playgounds so we met them played in the sandbox for a bit then hit the paths and let the boys walk down to the water where the ducks were, then across a bridge over to where Emma said there were still lots of leaves. We kicked and threw leaves around for a bit, there were lots of airplanes and helicopters flying overhead and trains going by... high sensory. Desi was totally himself again. Whew! We got back to the apartment around 7pm -- his bedtime!

Tonight Grammy Simkins flys in for about 7days before she continues on to Italy&Greece. We are so excited for her visit!!! We'll be spending the weekend in the city and then catch the train to CT to spend Mon/Tues with Heidi. Desi hasn't been to Heidi's since he was an infant, maybe 7monthsold. He should be happy with the new environment to explore and riding in a car.
