Benjamin in the big city

Ben got to go back to NYC again, because his mom had a meeting. We stayed again in a great little apartment provided by the Bard Graduate Center in their housing. Thursday we had lunch with Ali, who Ben had a wonderful time flirting with. It was great to see her. In the afternoon, we took a long walk through Central Park and Ben had lots of fun in a playground there. It's not like here, where sometimes he's the only kid in the playground. In NYC, playgrounds are busy, crowded places, which just makes them much more fun. His mom had dinner at her conference Thursday, so Ben and his Daddoo went back to the apartment, had Mexican takeout for dinner, and took a bath. Ben was quite thrilled with his new tattoos which his mommy got for him (and the whole family put on).
