The Park Slope Armory had a 'soft' opening today. I have to say that the new
space is beautiful! It's due to open to the public JANUARY 31, 2010. I took
some photos (though the real thing is just so much more impressive) you can
access at the following link:

Membership price? Membership to the Armory is $40 for individuals and $72
for families. Not sure what the price of a combo membership is if you are
already a member of the Prospect Park Y, but I'll try to find out and get
back to you. Over the next 3-6 months they will be having after-school and
kid-classes.
The opening was fun, with important political folks there giving speeches. A
few of the local schools brought students over to try things out. All in
all, it's great news for people of the Slope (and Windsor Terrace as well)
to have a new place to go.
More Information to come!

Responses to someone who asked for advice about traveling with a baby.

1. Take extra mittens/gloves if you have them. Can keep you in the snow longer when the first ones get wet and cold.
2. The snow is a bit dry for making a snowman. Bummer- but perhaps when it warms up.
3. Those little "hand warmer" packets work! They had them at G & E last week (5th Ave btw 14th and 15th.
4. Pulling a stroller backwards is easier than pushing it.
5. Stick to the streets if you can—some of the sidewalks aren't shoveled
6. Keep a clean dry pair of socks on hand as well. Wet tights and 3 layers of clothes don't make for happy children and aren't easy to change.
7. Those plastic snowball makers REALLY work.
8. The plastic chalk container makes a perfect size snow brick (although see #2).
9. Consider rubber bands and garbage bags to make gaunlets for between the coat and the mittens/gloves as well as the boots and snowpants. One wrong step and snow down the boots makes for whiny kids.
10. Free Hot Chocolate by NYC Parks at 9th street and Prospect Park 11am – 3pm
11. Consider helmets when sledding (a friend's niece died intertubing on snow).
12. PLEASE BE COURTEOUS AND SAFE on the sledding SLOPES!
ENJOY!

Hey All,
Thanks to the over 350 people who answered our quickie survey about
tips/bonuses/ holiday gifts to service providers. The easiest way to
view the results is via a table which we've posted on the PSP website
HERE:
<http://www.parkslop eparents. com/files/ 2009.TIP. SHEET.pdf>
It's easy to forget that many of these folks have few benefits and rely
on tips to help them throughout the year. So give generously if you can.
We'll have more information about teachers and nannies this weekend.
Best,
Susan Fox
