One of our favorite parts of living in the Flatiron District in New York is our short walk to Madison Square Park. It’s our go-to for spring and summer time outings. Whether it’s playing on the playground, throwing pennies in the fountain, or having a picnic. Since Reese has gotten older she refuses to get in the stroller to go to the park, demanding to walk, and right before my eyes has become a true New Yorker. At 2 and a half she knows to stop at each cross walk and wait for the white cross walk signal to appear, she knows to be polite to people with babies or even elderly that cross our path. A lover of food, she has also made friends with every street vendor we pass – there hasn’t been a day where one of them hasn’t offered her something free of charge.

This week as we near the end of our time in New York I have been walking a little bit slower on our park dates. Pointing out more squirrels, taking in the city views, and letting the kids play those extra 5 minutes before we head back for bath time. Reese of course just runs and squeals like her usual self, smiling at people, throwing crumbs for birds, and of course putting on a fashion shoot with my raybans. I must say for all the hustle and bustle of the city life, this park will always remain to me a peaceful place that is dear to my heart.

For today’s walk Reese is wearing an Old Navy patterned jersey tank {and was thrilled to point out to everyone we saw that she had flamingo’s on her shirt!}, twill polka dot shorts, and gladiator sandals {similar}. I know we will be near parks in Nashville, but I wonder if Reese will remember the wild life we lived in the city when she grows up. I guess the good news is that we will have all these fun pictures and adorable fashion to remind her.

Thank you to Old Navy for sponsoring this post.
