Where?

So where did we go?

Unfortunately, nobody got the answer correct, but one of you came closer than the rest.

We woke up early in the morning and called a car service. The van arrived and we piled inside and went to the doctor for checkups!

Everyone got measured and weighed. Zusha is one inch short of 4 feet and is in the 90th percentile for both height and weight. Gedalya is one inch short of 3 1/2 feet and is in the 90th percentile for height and 50th for weight. He's one skinny kid!
Adel is 21 1/2 pounds.

The boys had their checkups and are generally healthy. Zusha needs to see an ENT for chronic stuffy nose. The boys had blood tests, and Gedalya is a little anemic so we bought iron supplements.

This is the appointment atwhich the pediatrician referred us to Early Intervention and all those specialists. This was the day that we began Adel's journey.

After we finished with the appointments, I asked the receptionist if there is a playground nearby. Since we already ventured out, might as well make this a real trip!
She told us where it was, and we headed off.

On the way, the boys found a ramp. They can NOT resist ramps!




We arrived at the park. It was so old! It didn't have any jungle gyms- just individual slides, some climing structures and swings. Everything was painted green.





After the boys had their fill of playing, we headed to the train. On the way we rode on some unfamiliar quarter rides- what fun!
The train was a big hit. We haven't gone in a while and the boys couldn't be more excited.



The train didn't take us straight home. We needed to transfer to a bus. But since we arrived on Avenue J, we decided not to go immediately on the bus but to first explore. Our first stop was a new library (as guessed correctly by LEDesigns, although it was a secondary stop. The doctor was the main reason of the trip.) I fed Adi there, and she slept while we read some books.

We then visited a new pizza shop and went on some more uncharted quarter rides.

After a long and exhausting day, we caught our bus and settled down for the remainder of the ride.

The boys were so excited that Adi is going on trains and buses with them they were all over her, "Adiiii, you're on a train!!! (Or-you're on a bus!!!!) You love it? It's so much fun for you? You never went on a train (or bus) before. Only when you were in Mama's tummy, but then you couldn't see it!"

And so we managed to make a tedious and routine doctor visit into a really fun trip!
