A Week In The Life

Cooper is quite the busy young man. A normal week in the life of this particular two year old does not only consist of nap times and building blocks. Oh, no - this kid is taking full advantage of the mild weather to prepare for a summer full of activities and excursions.

MONDAY:

Cooper heads to Bright Horizons daycare to start off each week. Some there call him the 'Mayor of Mondays', while one teacher calls him her 'boyfriend'. He is quite popular! It is unfortunate that he is of that tween-like time where he is too big for the toddler room, but not yet ready for the preschool room. The teachers are all great there, and they bring him over to the bigger room with toys/activities like the kitchen center, manipulatives, and (of course) dinosaurs.

TUESDAY:

Cooper goes to the library a few blocks away for Toddler Story Time at 11:30am every week. It is a free class, and he always enjoys seeing all the kids and looking at the books. Here he is sitting next to his friend Clover - the pair spent lots of time together.

WEDNESDAY:

Nice weather outside! Clara decided to head down to Central Park for the morning. Off at the 59th Street station, and walked into Central Park in search of a playground - any easy thing to do since there are seemingly millions of them along 5th Ave and along CPW. This was really Cooper's first time playing in a sandbox - and he LOVED it!

Of course, after all that digging, a juice/pretzel break was necessary.

Man cannot live by pretzels alone....

So their lunchtime pit stop was at an Applebees.

THURSDAY:

This is a quick video that Clara took with her Blackberry of Cooper at his Art & Music class he attends on Thursdays. It is right up the street, at The Arts Horizon - LeRoy Neiman Arts Center. The class consists of all neighborhood children, and several that live in our building. Today Cooper is dancing with his friend Clover. Maya, another love of his, is dancing with another in the background.

FRIDAY:
What will Friday bring? Who knows! That is still to be determined. Maria off work + nice weather = something fun and exciting. That much can be guaranteed. She is looking into a drop-in class or an outside activity. But without a doubt, it will create a memory.
