Rare Sunny Day in February

The sun was out and it was warm for a brief moment in NYC. We rushed out to enjoy the day with a stroll in Chinatown to celebrate the Chinese New Year - Year of the Tiger. We ate dim sum, watched dragon puppets parade up and down Mott Street. We arrived at the house happy and exhausted.

Today Dante caught a large ball for the first time today. This while he was
bouncing on a trampoline no less. Then I tried throwing him a smaller
ball and he had one in his hand already. I told him to put it down so
both hands would be free. He wouldn't and I thought well lets see what
happens. I threw him the small ball and he caught it with one hand! 2/25/10
