Kiddo loves to check out the train and bus schedules and is constantly asking what time it is, so for our trip into Manhattan this past weekend we made a chart to track our travel times. He was totally into it. I was surprised to find out that he was able to accurately tell me how to draw the clock hands! I don't remember teaching him that! His mind is like a sponge. Mine is like a sieve.

Seeing the end results helped Kiddo develop a sense of how the time had passed, especially looking at the clock faces.
Our trip was to see
Shona Reppe's performance of
Cinderella touring from Scotland at the
New Victory Theater. If you live in the area, I urge you to see this marvellously whimsical and inventive production. The place was filled with girls, but I was pleased to see some boys there, too. Kiddo LOVED it.
Again, very cool.
