DS and I have been dealing with the heat as best we can. But he gets really cranky at the peak heat of the day, which lasts in our place for a few hours. Of course the next few days are supposed to be worse. Any ideas of places to go to get out of the heat besides a store? I feel silly wandering around a mall or other store just to "borrow" their a/c, and I don't think he'd deal well with a movie since he'd throw a fit if I wouldn't let him get down on the floor. I'd buy an a/c unit, but it really isn't in our budget right now.
Re: Ideas of places to go to escape the heat?
Washington Square has the kid play area. So, you know you're not the only one borrowing the mall's ac.
Also, you might try rent-a-center for an ac unit. It'll be cheaper than buying one. They'll install it for free and come get in whenever (like the end of September) you're done with it.
