Clare has watched the movie Madagascar a few too many times, so we decided to take her to the Central Park Zoo. We watched the sea lion show and saw penguins, polar bears, and monkeys. Clare kept asking to see the lion, zebra and giraffe, like in the movie. To keep a meltdown from happening, we told her they were loaned out to a different zoo. There was a plaque at the park dedicated to, I think, John Clare from England. We tried to capture just Clare and England, but this was the best we could do with our little wiggleworm.
We took a trip out to our local Whole Foods and we picked a great day. It happened to be Back to School Day so Clare got a tshirt, sippy cup, stickers, chefs hat and gardening glove (just one). For activities, she got to make a pizza and plant pumpkin seeds. We have yet to go back to see how her seeds are doing. They labeled the seeds by tracing her hands and writing her name on a sheet of paper to be laminated.
Clare is insistent on wearing these hand-me-down Teletubbie jammies every night. Since we are choosing our battles these days, we let her do it. I guess we can be thankful she is not leaving the house in them!
After visiting Santa at the mall, we had fun with the decorations at Newport in Jersey City.
