Jackson's List

As I compose my endless lists of things I want Jackson to experience, be exposed to and learn, I am OVERWHELMED.  There are so many things to do and so LITTLE time.  We've been to the mountains, the beach, and Disney World; I decided it was time to visit our nation's largest city, the crossroads of the world, and what better opportunity or occasion to check New York City off our list.

Each month or season, I try to lay out a book to read.  I have to be very deliberate about this, or we would never read at all.  For instance, for St. Patrick's day we've been reading and listening to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" or as Jackson refers to it, The Rainbow Song.

Using this month's reading, Jackson and I have compiled a list of what we want to do in New York from a preschooler's perspective:

Ride on an airplane
Ride in a taxi
Ride a subway
Ride in a limousine
Ride in a horse drawn carriage
Ride a ferris wheel
Ride a ferry
"Ride" on ice skates
Go up a big building
Go to a big park
See a big statue
Shop in a big toy store
See big dinosaur skeletons
Cross big bridges
Eat hot dogs, pizza, grilled cheeses, cheesecake and ice cream
