Slide Away

We took Hiro to play on the slides today. He looked really happy!!

In the absence of stones, he still found a little time to carefully shove as much dry grass as he could through the climbing frame grille.

You can't leave Hiroki alone for a moment. When the house goes quiet, you know he is up to something...

Stone Cold Crazy

Hiro's latest fascination while on a walk is to collect stones and post them down the grates in the road. He was out for about 40 minutes with Chiyo today doing just that. It's nice to be happy in your work.

Baba!!!!!!!

'Roki likes talking to Grandma Kazuko (Baba) on speaker phone.

Pooh Chair.

It's not what you think...

Wee Pah Pooh, Wee Pah Pooh

Disney baby or Star Wars baby? The battle rages on. It would seem that the Disney side has edged ahead here.

But the game isn't over yet...

Paiya Fields Forever

Hiroki's favourite fruit by far is.....the strawberry. For some reason saying "Ichigo" or "Strawberry" doesn't do it justice.
His own word is "PAIYA"!!!!!!

Gorilla!!!!

Here is the video of Hiro's first visit to the zoo.

Lions and tigers and bears - Oh my!!

We took Hiro to Ueno Zoo today to celebrate him being a year and five months old. Not sure just how much he understood but he practiced talking to the animals alot and enjoyed bellowing "GO - RI - RA" when we found those noble simians!
