Finally, Gramma Rosie and Grampa Jimmy are back in New Brunswick to pick up the slack offered up by our busy parents. Our stop for today, was a tour of the new "Y." We got off to a rocky start because Drew and I were excited and Gramma Rosie was afraid we would be tossed out before the ink dried on Mommy's admissions check. She finally got us to use our slow feet and our indoor voices so no one would think we just fell off the turnip truck with no upbringing whatsoever. Despite our rambunctious start, today was a banner day, because Gramma Rosie didn't have to put on her happy face; in contrast, she was beaming from ear to ear as I took her through our new day care/after school program. The new "Y" has all the things that Gramma Rosie thinks are important: A real gym where they put up equipment just for kids so we can explore our imagination, make good use of our energy and prepare us for our future athletic careers, a real playground with all sorts of equipment, moving vehicles and climbing apparatus, a big spacious classroom with sand and water tables, craft tables and all sorts of activities, and a real warm swimming pool where we have swim lessons once a week. Most important, the teachers had real smiles on their faces, not the kind that come from just wanting a pay check. People here seem real happy. Added to that, Drew loves this place and when we got ready to go, he said, "I'm not going." Gramma Rosie swept him up and hustled him out before they had a chance to see that he is, as Gramma says, a little "determined." I think that's another name for stubborn. Al in all, it was a great morning and after a great lunch and Drew's nap time, now we are off to the festival to ride some rides. Later, alligator.
