Aquarium field trip

Samuel got a little freaked out in the aquarium, but did enjoy seeing the lobsters and sharks!

New York!

The boys and I took the Amtrak to NYC today to meet up with Annette.

Our first destination was the headquarters of FAO Schwarzenegger of course, and the boys went right to work picking out a toy. The problem with Samuel picking is that he likes everything, so as soon as he's decided what he wants to get, he'll see something else and want it instead. He also has no problem picking things he already has: "But I want it again!"

Back in the hotel room, the boys started right away playing with their new toys, and as usual, Samuel wanted to play with Joshua's toys too.

Joshua said, "I don't want to play with you."

Samuel replies, "You have to! That's what friends are for."
