wacky wild world

Taiyo says "Wacky wild world." I'm not kidding, he really says it which he learned from his favorite Blue's Clues video he's been watching obsessively the whole week. Is it an appropriate toddler language? But hell it's funny to hear it from him. He seems so information hungry now, pointing at things and asking me "Kore? (this?)" all the time.
We visited Lynne at Integral Yoga in the West Village where she's currently staying. Taiyo loved running around in a yoga studio, then he worked on some self-portrait with my camera. He has destroyed the previous camera by messing with the lens too much, but I got a service plan with this one that they would repair/replace anything happens to it, even if a baby breaks it. It's a perfect thing to have for a parent in this wacky wild world.
Lunch at 'SNice on 8th Avenue and Jane Street. It's a nice feeling wifi vegetarian cafe that us meat eaters fear: untasty food. Our panini, with smoked mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes and basil was sad and yucky, but Taiyo ate it. He kept asking for "Gohan(rice)" but they didn't have any. I had very mixed feeling about this place- the space felt nice and spacious, but tables were very close together. I thought the food was horrible and expensive for what it is, but it's definitely a safe place to enter with a baby. I was also bothered by a bunch of fruit flies hovering over our plate, and the bench was rather dusty along the wall. I would never return to this place, but I think you'd appreciate it better than I did if you're vegetarian.
