Angelica: Momma! Momma!

Bette: Well good morning sunshine did you get enough sleep? Mommy and Momma are going to take you to the park today.

Angelica: Horsey?

Bette: Wow you remember Central park? Well guess what yes we are going to Central park baby and you will get to ride the horsey and we’ll go back to the zoo too. How does that sound?

Angelica: Play Momma.

Bette: Oh baby Momma missed you so much. I love you baby.

Angelica: Lub you Momma.

Bette finally has the baby undressed and in the tub and quickly finishes her bath. Angelica runs off to her room, bumping into Tina along the way.

Tina: Well look who is up and full of energy. Come here you rascal.

Angelica: Play Mommy. Go play.

Tina: Actually you are going to get dressed, then eat, then we’ll see about playing. Good morning baby. Something smells good.

Bette: Yes, just waiting for you two to wake so I can make the omelets.

Tina: I’ll dress the baby while you finish those. I can’t believe after that late dinner I’m hungry again.

Bette: By west coast standards that wasn’t a late dinner and it’s after 10am now, so just about breakfast time for you.

Bette keeps the omelets reasonably healthy: peppers, mushrooms and onions with just a bit of cheddar cheese. She makes plain scrambled eggs for Angelica. She prepares some frozen biscuits and sliced fresh fruit to complete the meal. She has already had her coffee so she decides to join Tina with tea for her beverage. The family enjoyes a lively meal as Angelica has much to say while she eats her meal. The baby was especially animated and genuinely excited to be back home in New York. Bette cleans up while Tina showers and dresses. They make it to Central Park by noon deciding to go to the zoo after stopping by the carousel. Angelica was far more engaged and animated at the zoo this time as compared to their last trip. Now she recognizes some of the animals and tries to mimic their sounds. Bette had brought along her digital camera and they took plenty of photos during their visit and the carousel ride. By 4pm Angelica was asleep and Bette and Tina decided to leave the zoo, but found a bench to relax on and take in the warmth of a spring day in New York.
