After our "hike" around Roosevelt Island we went to Gravelly Point. This is a great park where you can see the airplanes taking off and landing at Ronald Regan National Airport. Calder LOVED this and can't wait to take daddy. We brought a picnic and just had a great time. You can sort of see the flag Calder is holding. It is an American flag he insisted on having from the thrift store. It has been well loved and he wanted to bring it to wave at the airplanes. I think he was thinking it was going to guide them like the workers who direct planes with small orange flags or sticks, but I'm not sure. Either way he waved his American flag for the airplanes.
I had a hard time getting this picture because Calder kept wanting to watch the airplanes.
This is my friend Liz and her son Henry. We always have a great time with them!
So, back to the bathroom story from the previous post. We got here and Calder hadn't mentioned needing to go to the bathroom for a while. Then he needed to go poop. They only had porta-potties and so we went in and I told him how it works. He desperately wanted to poop in the urinal part because the other one was "already used". Thankfully he had to go bad enough he didn't argue much when I told him it doesn't work that way. He did make me crouch down so he could see my face the whole time because he was scared, but he did it and was so proud of himself when he was done. So, I guess we can go camping now.

I just love your posts and can't wait to print this one off for Grandma Joyce. She'll really get a kick out of it. BTW, it looks like Calder was the model for the sculpture of Roosevelt.
