SteelyKid has clearly inherited her father's fondness for basketball. Unfortunately, she doesn't quite understand how to play, yet. She does know that involves throwing a ball up in the air and jumping, though:
She'll get the rest of it eventually.

SteelyKid's day care is closed today for a Jewish holiday, so she's spending the day at home with her grandmother. It was a real struggle to get my mother to come up for the day...
Something I'm sure is on the agenda is playing with her shape sorter box, which she was good enough to demonstrate on…
The dog sniffs gently at the baby in my lap. "So, what the heck is this?"

By the way, she seems to have learned to catch. She is being pretty good at catching that balloon.
So, what's inside that kong that Queen Emmy's so diligently working on? Peanut butter?
Maybe in future he will be like Yao Ming :)
