It's a rainy morning here in quar. Rainy days are tough, since our whole routine with the kids at this time revolves so heavily around trips outside: usually a short one in the morning with me, and a long, adventurous one in the afternoon with their dad. I've been surprised how fulfilling the outdoors can be for kids without playground equipment, though it probably shouldn't be a surprise. Hattie is pretty good now on her micro mini scooter, and there's a newish place two blocks south of here that we call "the pocket park." It is simply half a bock of 26th Street between Guilford and Calvert that's been closed off to cars. There's a house on one side and a sunken freight train track on the other. Hattie loves this place, even though there isn't technically much to do there. She loves scootering down the slight decline toward it, asking Hannah or anyone who's present to race her. She stands up very straight on the scooter, arches a little, leans back proudly on the brake.
