3 more bites

Look at the joy on this girl's face! Quinn will be very handy with his new younger sibling.

The day after we arrived in Beantown, we met up with Gramps and Nan and headed out to Natick to see Justin, Moe, Quinn and Noah. It was a really good time because (a) there was good food, people and beer and (b) the big kids all played well together (including the big kid above in the light blue shirt with the collar). Schuyler absolutely adored her older cousins ("boys, Daddy!") and received some words of wisdom from them as well ("Just three more bites and then you're done and you can have dessert!"). Thanks, guys.

museum of science: butterfly exhibit

Daddy took Schuyler to the Museum of Science which was a nice little walk across lanes of screaming traffic. He took her to the lightning exhibit where lightening bolts thundered across the room. She was nonplussed. He took her to the butterfly room filled with loads of beautiful little (and not so little) butterflies. She was TERRIFIED and would not leave her Daddy's arms. What will this little girl become?

hotel marlowe

Hotel Marlowe in Cambridge, MA is cool. Funk decor (leopard print robes, anyone?), friendly people, thoughtful additions (like the baby care sample Schuyler is demonstrating on travel doll), and they welcome dogs (which Sky really enjoyed). Oh, and the Cambridgeside Galleria mall (and adjacent Cheesecake Factory) is accessible via a secret underground passage.

boston

Schuyler got her nap in on the cab ride over to the hotel and thankfully stayed asleep while she was transported from cab to room.

Schuyler had a room to herself for the first night (a first!)

And they have berries!

off the island

Oh wow, this feels like a long time ago now. After a successful week in Florida, Nan/Gramps and Scott/Greta/Finn decided to convene together again - this time on the scenic isle of Block Island. Schuyler mum and dad were also given the opportunity to spend a day or so on their own to explore Boston and hang out together/do some errands that can't be done in Bermuda.

Unfortunately, in order to get anywhere, you have to go through the Toddler-On-A-Plane funtime! Schuyler was actually pretty good. She's now at an age where she can be reasoned with to a small degree so she almost understood that she had to wear her seat belt after I explained the physics of a plane travelling at 500mph and what happens to a toddler travelling at the same speed if the plane jolts. She explained that through quantuum theory there is a chance that she would fly right through the plane wall unharmed and quite possibly time travel. I don't know why i wrote that. She was good on the plane and we read and she squirmed and we used the potty on the plane and marvelled at the blue water.
