Babies take Manhatten

We proved to ourselves that we can indeed travel with twins. Monday afternoon I used the snap-n-go stroller as my pack mule, carrying not only the two car seats with our most precious cargo.... awwww cheese... we also used it to transport our luggage and the most essential baby gear shoved into our diaper bag. I took the long stroll to Forest Hills and the Babies B got their first ride on the T. We met up with Daddy and took the fast train to NYC. The babies were great on the train, which led them to be less great once we were settled in our room and decided to go for dinner. I had the bright idea to Bjorn and sling them so we would fit in a restaurant easier. These are great modes of baby transport, but not so good for sitting and eating dinner, both babies made their displeasure known and we made a quick getaway. This was fine with Amine since he hated his dinner anyway. The weather was pretty crummy the next day so my outings with the babies were a morning shopping trip to a baby superstore and a rainier afternoon at Old Navy... not exactly the store you go to NYC to visit, but we have a different life now, one that would have made it difficult for me to hop in a cab or take the subway down to SOHO where all the real shopping lives. The highlight of the visit was the babies meeting Anna, Gage and Micheal. Gage experienced first hand, much to his displeasure, the power in Bibi's pants. I will never forget the look on his face or the fact that he almost launched my son across the room when he shat in his lap. Micheal was much more of a natural with the babies and of course Anna immediately made them dance and took some great shots of us. Our train back to Boston was less quiet and involved a few walks to the cafe car. When we got back to Boston we enjoyed our quiet and better smelling city by having lunch outside and taking a stroll to the Charles River.
