Marin and Charlie are desperately seeking a reasonable bedtime. Charlie has been showing a preference for sleeping during the day, and rocking and rolling all night long. Today, we decided to stay awake by watching the Saint Patrick's Day parade on Fifth Avenue.

According to the Today Show, there were 2 million people watching the parade this year.
Is this Charlie on the shoulders of a very old woman? Actually, no. This is what Marin looks like the morning after Charlie decides to sing "The Wheels on the Bus" all night. The effect is not improved by Marin's one-handed, point-at-yourself photography skills.

There were probably better bands than the NYPD marching band and bagpipers, but these guys definitely got the most applause.

After about an hour of parade watching, we decided to take a break, so we sauntered over to Rockefeller Center to join Gil for lunch. In the plaza, Charlie discovered yet another surface upon which he could push his train.

The most crowded area was right outside St. Patrick's Cathedral. Makes sense.

After we'd had enough crowds and bagpipes, it was off to the playground to enjoy the nice weather. We could still hear the music and the cheering drifting over the river.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Carlos looks so tall! What fun adventures. Even if you have no sleep at least there is an adventure right out your doorstep! Sleep is overrated anyway.
Dude I totally know how to get kids to go to sleep, not the way that Mom& Dad did it with bible stories, but rather a small (350ml, 12oz) can of beer should be fine. Kids at my bar were constantly sleeping their lives away. hope that helps, from the kitchen and help facts of Dr. Als childrens psycho (logy) counseling.
