Reese was reluctant to go near the water so Grandpa tried to help.

Edric tried to help her too.

into the city we go

On Friday we took the train into the city and walked to the Central Park Zoo. Edric didn't want to go into the zoo at first because he just wanted to look at the skyscrapers, but Grandpa convinced him to go in and he had a good time.

At 6:45am this morning, Edric climbed into our bed and whispered, "Mommy, I have to tell you something." I said "Yeah?" And he said "I love Reesie baby better than Grandma and Grandpa."

Mommy: Why did you wake up so early?
Edric: I heard stomping and crashing....it must have been a giant!
