The Toddler Triumverate

Last weekend, Felix and his mama journeyed to NYC to reunite with the extended Pine family, and their new additions. Felix has two second cousins who were born just 4 days before him named Gillian and Cyrus. We got to meet Gilly and Cy for the first time, his other second cousin, Beth who is just one year old, and, oh yeah, got to see their parents and grandparents:). Felix also got to play with Auntie Alayna, who came to town for the weekend too!

While most of the photos of the kiddos are of them tired and exhausted (the only time they weren't moving), like these ones...


we did manage to get a few good shots. Here they are in rapture watching the Carousel in Central Park, which was probably more fun than when they were actually on it. This photo was taken right before Gillian, on the far left, got her head stuck between the bars. Ouch!


And here they are window shopping for toy taxi cabs with Alayna.


We managed to get a few videos that capture the cuteness and managed chaos of 3 toddlers. So, for your viewing enjoyment, here they are: Lets call the first one "Felix shares Crackers":



And the second one, "Felix and Gilly freestyle at Tavern on the Green":




It was great seeing everyone, but I can't close without mentioning the enormous meal we consumed at Carnegie Deli after getting completely soaked in a rainstorm. You really can't beat pierogi's, pickles, noodle soup, turkey Reuben and borchst when sopping wet!

We can't see the video- can you check to see if it is working? Even though we weren't able to see Felix this trip (so sad!!) we wanted to live vicariously through the videO.

Its funny to see Cy and Gilly doing such similar things as Felix does in the video. Cy mimic-ing Uncle John saying "he's got the power." And Gilly counting up to five lights. While always adorable Felix does need to work on his "sharing". True, he does willingly give his crackers to his cousins. But it does seem Felix enjoys controlling the dispensation of the crackers more than alleviating the hunger of his cousins.
