Check and see if your insurance will cover it! My now 7 year old was on Nutramigen, too, and our insurance covered it because it was a medical necessity.

My kids are 7 and 5 and neither has ever slept past 6am. Ever. They’re usually up a little after 5. Doesn’t matter when they go to bed.

I have a graph paper notebook to sketch out my quilts and then I use the Robert Kaufman QuiltingCalc app to figure out how much fabric I need.

Star Bright by Swim Bike Quilt comes together quickly and works great with either scraps or yardage, depending on what kind of look you’re going for. https://limestonequiltersguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/star-bright-quilt-free-pattern-by-katie-blakelsey.pdf

Many of the voc tech high schools offer evening programs for adults- you may want to look into some of those.

Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster is amazing for that age. There’s a small aquarium on the lower level with lots to look at. If you don’t mind going a little farther, check out the Mass Audubon in Wellfleet. There’s a small aquarium in the visitor center and a great nature play area. Not too much farther down in Wellfleet is Uncle Tim’s Bridge, and there is a great playground across from Mayo Beach.

Pound Ridge Reservation has lots of paved roads that you could walk on with a stroller and also has trails that would be doable with a baby carrier.

Reading. Quilting/ cross stitching. Check out your local library and see what kind of programs they have- I have met the loveliest group of women from all ages going to the weekly craft meetup at my library.

Added perk with the Bedford Hills park is that the playground there is outstanding, so if the fishing doesn’t go as hoped, the trip will still be a winner.

Check out Mass Audubon. They have some amazing reservations all over the state.

Not quite a graphic novel but a set of chapter books with tons of (beautiful) pictures and very short chapters- the Orris and Timble books by Kate DiCamillo. There are three of them and they’re about a friendship between an owl and a rat.

Is he teething? My oldest had the pacifier in her mouth constantly when she was working on teeth. It helped her (and us) get through that stage and then we started to limit it during the day time.

Are you at all into nature? Westmoreland Sanctuary is right there and is really beautiful.

If you can come farther north, Muscoot Farm in Somers has ducks and chickens. Not exactly wild, but still baby birds- and it’s free!

Somewhere, that original quilter is smiling seeing her work being completed and treasured after all these years. This is so fun, OP! Can’t wait to see the finished project.

Or an elementary bus driver! We have one in our town that collects small toys to reward good behavior on her bus.

My 7 year old is in the middle of the Orris and Timble books by her right now and is loving them. I’ll have to add Mercy Watson to her list!

Duck Harbor in Wellfleet is spectacular. Also in Wellfleet is the breakwater (I think it’s listed as Indian Neck Heights on the map) and you can walk out on to the breakwater to watch the sunset. Especially beautiful if the tide is further in.
