Dump Truck

At the park playing with his dump truck and sand toys.

BBQ

We went to a great BBG at Stephanie's house this weekend, and Rin had a blast playing with the ice in the cooler!

Huh...What?

I thought I was going to get a cute picture of Rin sleeping, but he woke up when he heard the click of the camera and I got an even cuter picture!

Out to Lunch

Here are some pics of Rin at lunch this past Sunday. We went out for sushi, but he wanted to have udon, even at the sushi shop. Then he finished off with about half of Daddy's mango parfait.

Bad Skeeters

Rin got one heck of a skeeter-bite on his head. The black and white Japanese mosquitos (called Yabu-ga) are absolutely brutal.

Puddle-jumpin'

Rin is a born puddle-jumper. He splished and splashed and got TOTALLY soaked, and loved every minute of it. (Except for having to walk home in wet pants.)

Back to the Park

We haven't been able to go out to the park for quite a while because of my fever 2 weeks ago and then the typhoon this past week, so Rin was totally pysched to get out again and play in the sandbox and on the slide.

After the typhoon

Rin got on his poncho and his new rainboots to go puddle-jumpin'.

Shoop, shoop, mayonnaise!

Rin's playing with his little squirt bottle of plastic mayonnaise.

Hey, Nice Chapeau!

Rin is beginning to be able to get undressed by himself and he loves to make a "hat" out of his t-shirt when he takes it off.

Banzai!!!!

Tanked

Rin at one of his favorite play spots, the fire cistern outside the park.

Spider, man!

Rin found a spider on the playscape and he was a little freaked out by it. He loves his pet beetles (a total of 5 now), but he's a little scared of spiders and terrified of cicadas.

Hat Man

Rin used to hate wearing hats, but he loves this one and he even requests it sometimes.

Bam and Kero

Rin's current favorite books are the Bam and Kero series about a dog and a frog who live together and have little adventures.

Kampai!

Recently Rin loves to do Kampai! (Cheers) with his juice before he drinks it.

Best Buddies

Here's Rin and his best buddy, Rosie!

Lego Maniac

Recently Rin is really into legos and builds really elaborate houses and towers.

Daaaaaaaaa!

Here is Rin sprawled out on the bed.

Long Time No Post

Here is our first post in a long time, rainy day RIntarou! He loves umbrellas and always wants to carry one, even though he can't quite hold it up over his head yet!

Rin the Adventurer

Here is Rin on top of the fire cistern. He loved climbing onto it and jumping off again. In fact climbing onto things and then jumping off of them is his absolute favorite thing to do lately.

Tears of Rage

Rin was majorly PO'd that we wouldn't let him have his Jello right away and made him wait for us to actually pay for it and take it out of the shop.

Bucket Head

Here is Rin running around with a bucket on his head. My little scooch!

I Love You Auntie Kate

Here is Rin talking on the phone to his Auntie Kate.

Rainy Day Nap

Rin was so tired after coming back from Furatto that he sacked out on the couch and didn't even notice when I changed him out of his wet clothes.

Froggy Boy

Here is Rin in two of his froggy outfits.

Nap Time

Taking a nap in the car.

Cap It!

Sleepy Time at the Super Market

Rin fell asleep in the shopping cart. That looks painful.

Spaghetti Hound

Here is Rin slurping up the spaghetti at Mom's birthday lunch. (He also loved the garlic bread.)
