Napping in the Carriage

Taking a Nap with Anpanman

Here's Rin getting pushed Geralyn while he snoozes with his favorite Anpanman doll.

Friendship Day in Sanda

Geralyn and Rin and I went to international Friendship Day in Sanda yesterday. We had a great time watching the International dances, trying different foods and drinks and dressing up in traditional Korean clothes.

Here they are on our way to the event.

It started to rain halfway there, so we covered Rin with our jackets. He looked rather silly.

We tried on some traditional Korean clothes.

And here we are again.

And here is Geralyn.

The only kids clothes they had were way too big, but we dressed Rin up anyway.

Doesn't he look cute!

Finally, we ended the day by watching the performance of the country line-dancing group "The Dancing Lonestars".

LUKE!!!!

Luke came to visit us this Thursday. It was great to see him again after such a long time.

Ito Maki-maki

Here is Rin doing the motions to the Ito maki-maki (thread-winding) song. It's his current favorite.

Funky Monkey Baby

Rin's cute, but his mother dresses him funny. Here he is enjoying a pumpkin cookie on his way to Furatto!

A Wee Bit Sluggish

Here's Rin in his carraige during our morning walk, but it was super-humid and he kind of wilted.

Neko-jarashi

Here is Rin holding a stem of Neko-jarashi (also known as green foxtail). I picked it outside our neighbor, Mr. Kozu's house and Rin had a lot of fun playing with it. (Fun fact: Neko-jarashi means "cat-teaser", as this grass is the perfect shape to use as a cat-toy)

Lo! The Flat Hills of my Homeland

Here is Rin on a bridge over the Muko River in the center of Sanda.

Taking a Stroll

Here Is Rin in his stroller, waiting for Geralyn outside her front gate.

Throw Your Hands in the Air

...and Wave 'Em Like You Just Don't Care. Says Rinny-K, the rappin-est baby in Sanda.

Bananaman 2: Second Banana

Here is Rin chowing down on a delicious banana.

Putting the Carriage Before the Baby

Rin loves to push his own stroller, although he usually just manages to go around and around in circles.

One Sleepy Little Watermelon

When we went to Hachi's house yesterday she was kind enough to give us some of Yuuto's old sandals with little watermelons on them and his old Anpanman backpack, Thanks Hachi! Rin tuckered himself out playing around with Yuuto and fell right asleep on the way home.

Stylish Boy

Here's Rin in som stylin' threads he got from Obaachan for his birthday.

Chew Toy

Here's Rin chewing on the foot of his little turtle chew toy. He doesn't like riding in the car very much, but if I sing him the "Turtle Rap' he usually quiets down.

Here's Rin taking a nap after a hard day of playing at Furatto.
