Where in the World is Nyan Thomas?

Kid’s got more frequent flyer miles than most adults! Yes, he’s back in the UK for the next couple-few weeks. Mommy has some career-related things to take care of over there, so off they went.

It is, as you can imagine, a bit quiet here at NyanThomas.com Global Headquarters on the Mean Streets of Park Slope, Brooklyn. But fret not, dear blog reader; we have a bunch of photos and videos to share in the coming days, and we’ll also be sharing fresh new content from the UK as well. So don’t forget to check back soon!

In the meantime, a couple photos from the trip to the airport, and an anecdote: I drove them to JFK and dropped them off at the terminal to start the check-in procedure while I parked the car and brought the luggage in. When I got up to the Virgin Atlantic check-in area, a few check-in people were standing there, ready to direct me to where I needed to go. I explained that my wife was already checking in and that I was just bringing the bags… “Oh, yes, they’re right over there,” the woman exclaimed. “You have an adorable son!”

Yes, it seems that Nyan Thomas had turned on the charm. And he kept it going, too, as we finished the check-in procedures. He was all smiles and giggles at the women behind the counter. And they were all smiles and giggles right back.

It did not, unfortunately, land them a free upgrade, but hey.

Here, then, photos from just before Nyan and Mommy headed through security.

And a screenshot from a Skype call the other day…

Dragon in Chinatown

The other day, we had an appointment near Chinatown in Manhattan, so I left work for a bit while Beatrice and Nyan came in from Brooklyn. Afterwards, I headed back to work while they strolled through the city and came across some sort of dragon parade. (I must confess that I’m not at all sure of the meaning or significance, but it looks pretty cool nonetheless). Some pics from the scene:

Today’s video: Kickin’ it

A budding musician? Maybe. Check it out as our boy shows off his vocal range (limited, so far) and the snare drum-like sounds he gets from the rhythmic tapping of his feet.

Dim Sum!

Earlier this week, we rented a car and headed down to Chinatown in Brooklyn for a midweek midday dim sum feast. We found this sprawling banquet hall of a restaurant that was jam packed with Asian families munching on their dim sum. The food was good, and your humble blogger’s dining companions were, of course, top notch.

Our boy enjoyed the stimulation – so many new smells, sounds, and people to see and charm!

Of course, his new thing is to have his fingers in his mouth at all times…

So daddy decided – for better or for worse – that two can play that game:

It was a touch chilly out, so we bundled him up before we strapped him into the stroller. The kid was happy to vamp for the camera, too…
