Allergist

Remember when I had that nut allergy attack? Well, my doctor in San Francisco suggested that I see an allergist in NY. And here I am, watching a cartoon, eating raisins, and waiting for the timer to go off after being pricked. And yep, I'm allergic to various nuts. I have to go back some time next year to see what else I could be allergic to.

Couldn't keep my hands to myself. Come on, the Richard Serra piece was asking for it!

Then had a picnic right outside the museum with Snoopy.

We had so much fun picking our own apples and eating right off the tree!

NY Transit Museum

Went to the NY transit museum with mama. Saw a resident cat that likes to stay in one of the old cars. I tried to get his attention, but he doesn't seem to be into me. Not even Snoops could make the cat flinch.

NY or bust!

Grandma and grandpa took a cross country road trip from San Francisco all the way to New York! They picked up our car from Olivia's house and drove it ALL THE WAY! And not only that, they drove all of mama's plants over as well!

After visiting the ETC studio we had dinner. We then stumbled onto an open firehouse. The firemen noticed we were admiring the truck, so they invited us over to check it out! I was nervous with these big trucks, I never thought they would be this huge! They showed me their flashlights, axe, and even tried to put a real fireman's hat on me, but I said, "no".

Seems like elevators are hard to come by, from buildings to bridges to subways.

For some reason my feet were really bothering me. I really wanted them rubbed and grandpa was always there to rub them.

Climbed into grandma and grandpa's bed and stayed there for a while so that they could rub my feet.

Here's the orchid that halmoni gave me that started blooming on the road trip! All the plants made it here better than we left them! Thanks to Uncle James' watering and grandma and grandpa's care on the road.

"Big Train, baby train"

Yes, I pretty much dictate how I want others to play with my toys. For instance, the trains, I like to set them up for you and tell you how to drive them. Today, I wanted mama to drive the "baby train" under the bridge. And I get all the other trains to drive on the track. And don't mess with my order, because I have my own system. I know when some train cars have been switched!

Brooklyn Children's Museum

Mama took me to the Brooklyn Children's Museum on a warm morning. It's a place for imaginary play, a little bit of science, some culture, and music. There are phones in every exhibit that you can pick up and call another exhibition room where another kid can pick up to talk to you! So, of course, I had to try every phone!

Dean, Yoko, and Leo

When papa worked at Dwell, he worked with photographer Dean Kaufman on photo shoots for the magazine. We met up with him and his wife Yoko, and son Leo at the farmer's market. It took a while for both of us to feel comfortable with each other, but soon enough, we were riding firetrucks around the living room floor!

Pratt, parks, coffee breaks, my new neighborhood

Hearing new sounds, smelling new scents, touching new things, seeing new surroundings...this is my new home, Brooklyn.

I like to copy the sculpture above every time we walk by.
