Little Yankee Fan

Here's Rin in his Yankees T-shirt at Furatto, of course

Tokuoka-san

This is my student Tokuoka-san with Rin

Foot work

Here's Rin's latest pic. He was grabbing his feet before I took the pic and I wanted to catch that, but once I got out the camera, he lost interest in his feet.

The Calpis Kid

Recently Rin has become fascinated by plastic juice bottles. Here he is with Mommy's Calpis.

Back to the Ball Pool

Here is Rin in the ball pool again. I know I've taken a lot of these, but I think it's such a charming background, I just can't help it. This picture is currently the wallpaper on my cell, BTW.

Flying Rin

This Monday was a holiday so Shoichi, Rosie, Rin and I all went out to the lake together. We had a great time, especially Rosie, who got to swim again for the first time in a long time.

アンパンマン体操: Anpanman Dance

Recently we've been going to the Anpanman exercise time at Furatto. All the kids get a little Anpanman hat and they dance to the Anpanman song "San-san". The first time a kid/baby comes they get a stamp card, and after each time they do the dance they get one stamp. When the card is filled up they get some kind of toy. There are 30 squares on the card and we've filled 8 so far.

Ganbaru zo!

ABC boy

Here's Rin on his ABC mat, in his diapy after getting covered in mushy rice

Rin's Second Meal

Unfortunately, I forgot to get to get out the camera for Rin's first meal, but I made sure to take some pictures of him covered in gloopy rice gruel at his second meal. Enjoy!

King of Sanda

Here's another "King of" pic. As you might have guessed from the post-title it says "King of Sanda"

Ready for Winter

I've recently re-discovered the photoediting feature on my phone's camera, and I've been playing around with adding text to pictures. This one says:"I'm toasty-woasty" and "King of protection against cold"

With Kana

This is Rin with my friend and student Kana

Angel Smile

My friend and student Masako took this picture; I love Rin's smile here.

King of the Ball Pool

We went to Furatto again yesterday and Rin had fun playing in the ball pool.

He seemed to like lying on his stomach in the ball pool...

And he tried to eat the balls...

With his friends Daiki (in the back, a member of my Baby-English class and Outa (in the middle, a baby model who's starred in a TV series already!)

He eventually got tired of the ball pool and begged to come out.

Furatto

Here are some pics I took at Furatto (the baby center. Rin is resting between the legs of a foam-block robot some of the older kids built.

And another pic...

And with a plastic flower-thingy I made from some construction toys...

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Rin's latest trick is moving around by rolling over and over again. He's awfully speedy with it too!

Sleeping Angel

Rin loves his baby carriage; he always falls right to sleep when he rides in it.

And a close-up...

Hugs from Daddy

It's been a while, but here's Rin and his Daddy

Sleeping Mikan

Here is Rin asleep in his mikan-suit.
