I feel as if I've escaped a terrible cold. Everybody is out. Sidney said she talked to her neighbors and found out half the block is divorcing! You go to the park and everyone is there-fathers, two year olds, old men in wheel chairs, brand new mothers, nannies, babies, strollers, moms carrying kids on bikes. It's as if WWII just stopped. People are coming out of fox holes! The nanny wanted me to walk with her and the babies to the pier. I thought it was too far, but rather than obscessing about a relationship, I decided to go with her.
I must say once down there, it was great. Theresa is from Jamaica and she loves the water and beach. We sat on a bench, nursed the babies, and just took in the warm air and water. Again, love is in the air! The results of previous love-trysts was pregnant women. But now the babies were taking in the warm air and new sights. They were without the Zero down 40 and without socks! They were delighted. On the way back we said hello to young parents and their daughter "bella" who was dressed up in an outfit and ribbon on her head-she too was 5 months. While the father proudly held her Gigi squealed with delight! SHe just squealed while Tess smiled.
When we got back we sat on the stoop in Cobble Hill and took in the sights. It made me remember summers coming as a child, vacations, and the release from school and winter.
Love is in the air!
