Here are a few ways to celebrate Mother’s Day on the L.E.S. this weekend:
The movie, Babies, opens this weekend at the Sunshine Cinema and their Rattle & Reel series will offer a bonus screening on Mother’s Day at 11:30am. The documentary simultaneously follows four babies around the world—from birth to first steps: Ponijao, who lives with her family near Opuwo, Namibia; Bayarjargal, who resides with his family in Mongolia, near Bayanchandmani; Mari, who lives with her family in Tokyo, Japan; and Hattie, who resides with her family in the United States, in San Francisco.

As we mentioned earlier, The East Village Community Coalition will present PEDAL POWER 2010 – the Third Annual Kids’ Art Bike Parade! – on Saturday from 10a-2p in Tompkins Square Park. There will be food, music, a raffle, bike tune ups, bike decorating and, of course, the parade.
Moms get in FREE on Sunday at the New Museum – mention the Mothers Day Special and her ticket is FREE with your purchase of a general adult admissions ticket.
The Tenement Museum’s blog has some good suggestions for gifts for mom, including signed copies of Mom: A Celebration of Mothers from StoryCorps by StoryCorps founder Dave Isay and Ruth Reichl‘s latest memoir, For You Mom, Finally.
