Last night I half-hoped the rainstorm would last until this morning, so we'd have an excuse for skipping the Duckling Day Parade. The trip into Boston, the crowds, and the big event starting at noon, right before K's usual naptime, all sounded daunting. But it was perfect. The day was warm and sunny. K was totally into the duck theme and couldn't wait to put on his costume. We had been reading "Make Way for Ducklings" all week, and we pointed out all the sights as we drove through the city on the way in. He hugged the big duck, made friends with the marching band, and high-fived a police officer. After the parade, he stopped on the bridge in the Public Garden to listen to a guy playing guitar and singing, and he danced and clapped in his duck costume. People stopped to take pictures and I heard somebody say, "That is the cutest thing I've ever seen!"
The camera was out of batteries -- the one thing that went wrong today -- but we managed to take some decent pictures with our iPhones.
Happy Mother's Day!
