Rocking Sunday

We finally made it to the 'Bring Your Own Kid concert' at TribecaY sunday morning. The place was packed with babies, toddlers, and mommies and daddies for Brady Rymer and The Little Band That Could. Their music was fun and rocking, and the little girls first occupied the floor. Taiyo was serious observing and studying the band. Then he was jumping around with the other kids for a while and then started snapping pictures of the band. Yes, the above picture was one of his shot. But because of not having enough lighting he wasn't able to snap good photos and he was frustrated and threw the camera on the floor. I took it away from him and he started screaming. The music was loud enough his loud scream wasn't that noticeable- also it was getting close to the end of the show there were other kids screaming here and there. So I just let him have his fit. I shook my head and said, no, I'm not giving you the camera. He was finally through by the time the band finished. We watched some artworks in the lobby before heading out. It was pretty cool beginning of the day.

We stopped for brunch at Josephine on Greenwich and Harrison. It was spacious and sure enough, almost every table had a kid or two or three. We were not offered one, but they had high chairs. The nice leather bench was comfy and easy to climb up for Taiyo. Immediately Taiyo took a picure of a little pumpkin on the table. We went for french toast (oh, yes, we were in a French cafe, oui, oui) and corn soup. French toast was of course big hit for Taiyo, and it turns out a perfect finger food despite of almond slices and powder suger on top. He ate pretty much ate the entire plate, and finally decided to try the soup, which was almost gone. "Yummy!" he exclaimed, and finished the rest. It was comfortable dining experience, and food was very nice. Recommended.

Just down the street we found this amazing playground in Washington Market Park. Three gyms with interesting designs, a wooden choo-choo train, and a tunnel. Taiyo ran around the park, made some friends, and truly enjoyed every corner of it. He protested when I finally grabbed him to head home after two hours. But within a few blocks he was sleeping in the bike seat.
