Circus — Dinner at Kalyani's — Potty Time

Kalyani and her mommy.

Waiting for a delicious Indian meal that
Kalyani's mommy made for all of us.

The Moscow circus was performing at Queens college.
They had lots of flexible and strong people on stage.

Luca ran UP and DOWN the aisles during
the intermission. He was copying the older kids
doing the same thing and tried to play with them.

This is pretty amazing...

...and so is this.
Luca did his first poopie in the potty
a few weeks ago so I bought him his own chair.
So far he doesn't show much interest in it.
I was hoping for early potty training!

It's tricky to walk in this stuff.

At the end of the day and after missing a nap,
Luca was POOPED!
