Sorry for not taking better flicks of the space. Joshua did a great job with this, it really looks great.

Ribbon Cutting

Back at the end of August we spent a morning at the ribbon cutting ceremony for PS133. The building had undergone a 2 year renovation and this was going to be the first peek. It was also hitting Noah that things were going to change.

The chancellor of New York City schools is a popular guy. We never really saw him.

It was great to see the new building, and great for Noah to meet new people and walk around the new school. After a quick/hectic/short tour, I brought Noah back to Hanson Place, grabbed an orange bib, and met his Hanson Place classmates at a park.

Almost a month ago now.. in NH, on Noah’s birthday.

Noah watches “My Pretty Pony” and talks about it so Kate got him a few of the ponies, when he opened it he said “but Mom.. these are for girls” as he played with them.

This was a fast ride that Noah wanted to go on, and then reconsidered.

Ivory is pretty amazing, and for the record, best kept on the animals it belongs to.

It looks so buttery though.
