The Stroller Solution

When Nellie was a little too slow for the morning rush, we put her in her own stroller and then Mark was able to zip her along the Brooklyn streets and she could still push her own stroller too.

Ditmas Park Playgrounds

We have two playgrounds near our flat in Ditmas Park. One is called the Tot Lot and is run by the council and the other is part of the local public school. Nellie is getting more daring these days - she climbs the steep step ladder without any assistance and goes down the slide all by herself too. She also like to hang by her arms from the monkey bars.

She is reaching the age when she can play with other children. It is less parallel play and more interactive which is really fun to watch.

Nellie's Birthday cont....

We had a last minute shindig at our flat on the weekend. I made fairy bread and a cat cake! We had a lovely mix of new and old friends and two delightful five-year olds. It was a nasty old day weather-wise and we were grateful of those able to make the trek.
