Mother’s Day Fun, Judo in NYC & BOE Meeting Recap – WRPP #22

Happy Mother’s Day from the Wood-Ridge Parents Podcast! In Episode 22, we kick things off with heartfelt tributes to moms everywhere and a hilarious breakdown of Kelly’s first birth story—including Dan’s utter confusion about what “induction” meant. We compare giving birth before and during COVID, and reflect on the chaos and beauty of raising kids close in age.

Then we recap Danny’s judo tournament in NYC, where the boys also explored the American Museum of Natural History, Korean egg sandwiches, and tight parallel parking skills. Kelly gives updates on Doyle’s Pirates & Princess dance, kindergarten screenings, and the summer rec schedule. We also unpack local frustrations with the post office forwarding issues and recent late-night mischief involving fireworks and teens in town.

Plus: test scores, teacher hiring, and the surprising elimination of gifted & talented programs. It’s a packed episode full of laughs, memories, and school-year prep—don’t miss it!
