Lucy, Week 18 marked your first trip up to NY. You were a trooper for the ride up, and did really well – very little crying. However, the evil Staten Island traffic monster caught us on the way back, and you did not like that ONE BIT. There were quite a few tears and a couple of frustrated parents in the front of the van. But we made it back safe and sound, so no harm done!
