We took the train back to Fanueil hall where we got some ice cream & chocolate chip cookies! After a busy yet fun afternoon, we headed back home
• One of the biggest adventures of the day was that while on the train, there was a guy & his dog (a pretty big dog). Alexander looked at me and asked if he could pet the dog. I told him he had to ask the owner but the guy heard him and said he could pet him and showed him where to pet him.  I was pretty impressed at how his comfort level with dogs is getting.
• Sunday was the day with Daddy - the boys made eggs & sausage for breakfast, then were going to head to the Patriots Send-Off Rally at Gillette Stadium

• There also seems to be one friend in particular that has a tendency to get Alexander in trouble - whether this friend is following him around all day, asking to play so Alexander gets annoyed or they rough-house in the playground.  I've expressed my concern over this friend as Daddy & I feel it would be best to try to keep them separated as much as possible during the day
