SPAAAHHH CASTLE
Sam and I took out very first full day off together today.
I remember my mom telling me years ago about the first time she and my dad went out together after I was born and I was 6 months old and they went to see a play but my mom kept running out to the lobby to call the sitter and I remember thinking "oh my god what lunatics - 6 months?? How could they not have gone out sooner?? What uptight first time parents, blah blah, etc etc". Yet somehow the past 10 and 1/2 months literally slipped through our fingers and even my masterful planning skills were not able to find a single day that we two could be away sans kids for more than 3 hours.
Today, however, we spent 7 blissful hours at Spa Castle which is like a Korean Disneyland for adults. 5 floors of saunas, hot tubs, outdoor pools, steam rooms, masseuses, beauty treatments, nap rooms, big bowls of korean stew, and bubble tea. It's like being cocooned in warm air and water for the day and emerging scoured, scrubbed, soothed, and amazingly relaxed. Since it's unlikely that we will be going on any vacations anytime soon knowing that it only takes an occasional trip to northern Queens to be reborn is inspiring.
We are already plotting our next trip there.

PT WITH PAUL
Here's a little sample of one of Lula's therapy sessions with her PT Paul. He is amazing with her and I really think the therapy has made a difference with her. Notice that he never ever stops talking to her. I used to think that was a little kooky but I think it's actually a deliberate technique of giving her constant feedback.

CLEVER
It was an absolutely stunning day here in Brooklyn. Cecelia and I tried to keep the kids outside as much as possible, which seemed remarkably easy to do since we didn't have to spend any time safeguarding the kids from the elements.
We took the kids to the park and on the way back Cecelia gave Roan her water bottle to play with and he did this:

Roan started assuming this loungy stance with his ankles crossed when he was only a few months old. This is the first time we noticed:
