For the Love of Fire Trucks

We got lucky firetruck wise today. The Adelphi St. fire truck was parked out in front of Fort Greene park, and the firemen not only invited isaac in, but also let him push on the siren pedal with his feet, wear a (very heavy!) firefighter's helmet, and clip and unclip the seat belt about a thousand times.

Wow! This is very great.

Isaac was in heaven, and very sad to leave.

He found her!

Rude Mechanical Orchestra Entertains the Very Young

Wow....

Isaac was very intrigued by the Rude Mechanical Orchestra performance at Fort Greene Park. He was a little scared at first and wanted to be picked up, but quickly moved on to wanting to dance.

The Orchestra was very energetic, and a little bit Balkan: really fun to listen to! I couldn't understand exactly what they were singing about, but I think part of it was against fracking, and for gay rights. All very positive messages, I just hoped that Isaac didn't understand the swear words well enough to repeat them.

Poised for action!

My friend Lena took this photo of Eli, Isaac and me at Fort Green Park. I like it's 70s quality, and of course the different expressions on all our faces. I'm not sure if Lena set her camera on a vintage sort of setting, or if its just her natural born talent in capturing a moment.

All her photos are really good! They relax me in their clear calmness and straight up stylishness. If you would like to see her photos and blog of baby beautiful stuff, click here

Dandelion Seeds

Long before Isaac, I remember hearing how little people make you appreciate stuff that you usually take for granted, or just plain forget about. Which brings me to dandelion seeds!

We found some in Fort Greene Park the other day, and by some animal and entertaining instinct I picked it, blew on it and voila, like little bubbles they scattered over our heads and into the air.

Then, of course, I made Isaac wait while I took this picture.

Tai Chi at Fort Greene Park

This couple practices Tai Chi at Fort Greene Park almost everyday. The old guy is so thin it looks like the wind could blow him over, but then it doesn't. The old lady is very sweet and was happy to see Isaac appreciating their moves. They move in unison even though they aren't looking at what the other one is doing. Its very impressive, and sweet, because before the guy used to just do it by himself, but now she is there too.
