Make Way For Us - Day 19

The cool purple flowers were like 4 feel tall!

Keep quiet, duck!



Running in the Public Garden. Note the Swan boat in the background.


Hello to my people!



She kept saying "Standing on one foot!"


Today we took LSP into the city to check out some sights. First stop was the Make Way for Ducklings statue. I went to college right nearby and passed this statue a millions times. How cool to be here with LSP! Periodically someone will saw off a duckling in the middle of the night as a prank. Right now, however, all the ducklings are intact. We had to wait for some junior high school kids and their obnoxious teacher to get off the ducks, first, though. Come on, it's a statue for little kids!

Next stop was the Swan boats, but the line for a ride was really, really long so we just checked them out from the bridge. We also checked out some real ducks and some real swans and LSP got a thrill from chasing the squirrels and saw a police officer on horseback. Cool! After a hot dog lunch on the Common Nana and Elizabeth rode the carousel. Nana had to ride the carousel with LSP because if Mommy rode the carousel, she'd hurl, and what fun is that? Nana let LSP choose her animal on the carousel. At first she chose the rabbit, but then settled on the frog. On the way home we stopped for ice cream. This kid is an ice cream eating fool.

Riding back in the car, probably thanks to all the potty training books we have been reading her, she announced loudly, "I peed in my pants!" and when that got a laugh, continued to announce that fact for the next several miles. Now we just have to learn to pee in the potty.

All in all LSP has a fun day of checking out animals (real and fake) and flowers and running in the grass. It was fun to show her my old stomping ground. She also scored a new hat. Now she really looks like a local. Soldier-Boy says she better not come back dropping her "Rs" but the real question is, what kind of accent should she have? Maine ("Ah, no, you can't get they-ah from he-ah."), or Boston ("Oh my gawd! That is wicked pissah!") or Providence (Hey Tony, bring me a grind-ah and a cabinet or I'll break both of your legs."). Time will tell.
