Maybe She Is a Princess!

Today we had a great Valentine's Day in NYC. We went to Sesame Street Live (where the characters did at one point dance to "The Hustle" and a Bee Gee's "You Should Be Dancing"... they even had Bert dressed up in John Travolta's white suit from Saturday Night Fever!-- that's my kind of Muppet Show!)

Then we headed up town, the plan being to go to Shake Shack and hit up the Polar Rink at the American Museum of Natural History. During the day, while out and about, Sophie got a ton of complements on her hat! At one point, a little girl said to her mother: "She's wearing a Princess Hat" to which her mother replied, "Maybe she IS a Princess!" (Well, we KNOW Miss B. is a princess, but it's always nice to have it reconfirmed by an unbiased public...) ;)

Unfortunately, part of Shake Shack was rented out for a party so it was crazy crowded... so instead we took a nice stroll down Columbus Ave. to Le Pain Quotidien. Then back up to the rink, stopping along the way for flowers. Sophie really enjoyed carrying around her Gerbera Daisy! It's part magic wand/part flower and all great accessorizing.

Once we got to the rink we were informed that children under 3 aren't permitted on the "ice" (noting that it actually isn't ice but some sort of plastic space age technology that requires no Zamboni... and when I called it "ice" I was quickly corrected by the AMHN staff... as if they're concerned that people would ask for their money back once they got out onto plastic...)

So, after our expedition to the rink we finished our outing by picking up Shakes at the Shack.

Happy Valentine's Day, everybody!

Oh, and by the way-- thanks too to KK!! She kindly sent me the yarn used to make Miss B.'s V-Day hat! It's lion brand Landscape... and I used a hat pattern from Itty Bitty Hats. Love that book!!
