A day off of school! Yay! And Hans is in school so Freddie gets Mama to himself! Yay! But Mama had to go to the DMV. Boo! Don't worry, we had a great day.
After finishing up at the DMV we got a donut for breakfast. My little New Yorker wiggled though the jam packed morning work crowd to find the one empty chair. We squeezed in together and and had donuts and coffee and watched the suits and high heels walk by.
Then it was off to do some birthday shopping for Hans. Freddie's been asking for a trip to ToysRUs for a while so this was the perfect opportunity.
I swear the kid looked at every single toy in the store. He checked everything out, pressed all buttons, and asked how much everything cost. He was even wowed by how many Barbies are available, commenting that some friends in his class have or want certain calls and ponies. My little guy pays attention to everything.
We spent hours, yes hours, in there.
I walked behind him and did what he did, looked at everything. What a thrill for a six year old boy to wander a four story toy store.
ToysRUs in Times Square will be closing soon (they can't afford the rent!) so I am thankful we were able to make a trip.
It was fun to talk about how some of the displays frightened him when he was little and then take a ride on the ferris wheel, something else that used to frighten him.
Then it was off to lunch at Shake Shack! Yum Yum. My boy is not intimidated by the line or the crowd and left me as soon as we walked in to scan the room to secure a table. He didn't have much luck at first getting beat out by other customers, but he finally managed to find a table that was just about done and give them the eye until they finally relinquished the table to him. He is a New Yorker.
Having days with just my Bug is a treat.
Looking forward to summer adventures with him!
