project poop play

me to my daughter, "what did you do today?" alexandra was home from daycare sick so she spent the day with her brother and his nanny nicole. of nicole's many great habits is the pic or two a day she sends to us sent via her blackberry. so when i said to alexandra, "did you slide down the curly slide?" "yes." "did you play with boys on the ice?" "yes." and "did you swing in the swing?" she answered "yesssss."

but then the tables turned. "daddy what you do at work today?" "did you make projects?" (i'm an architect). "did you make poo poo?"

correct on both counts. i guess it's all in a day's work be it playschool, preschool, or the office. and tomorrow i'm checking my desk for a spy cam...how did she know?"

6:41

whooh...cough. cough. just got back from my first visit to the newly opened park slope armory ymca. i put down a 6:41 mile on their track not bad for my first timed mile in years. anyway the place is beautiful and vast...its opening well timed with my tiredness developed for the prospect park y across the street from us.

now if i can only reduce the extra jiggle on my waist. a true belly developed on me for the first time this winter. yikes.

for those of you local to the area, join the armory y - it's only $15 more a month on top of the prospect park y monthly. and you can check it out as a guest 6 times with any existing ymca membership.
