Valentine's Day






Valentine's Day was a beautiful day, and after sampling a Gymboree class (which she loved) Madeline and I took a walk into Old Town for lunch with baby Ella and her mom. After nap we went to Patrick's Valentine party at school, which was a brief, sugar-charged affair followed by lots of running around on the playground. Three days later Patrick still remembers exactly who gave him each of his Valentines, and loves dumping out his bag to admire all of his cards.

Every day is pretty much a holiday for Patrick and Madeline, but they were both particularly delighted with their cards and treats: Maurice Sendak's Nutshell Library for Madeline, and a Batman and Robin action figure set for Patrick. Patrick has been toting Batman and Robin around all week, and while he's been pretty good about sharing he makes sure to clarify to friends "you can have this NOT to keep" when he hands over his precious Robin for playing.
