Hide and Go "Baaa!"

Yes, the boys favorite game this week is peekaboo, played in Japan as "Inai, Inai, BAa!" Kay runs around the kitchen, poking out from the doorway, shouting "Baa!" So if that counts as a word, we're up to three. Sho likes to play the game with mirrors, which makes him very clever, or very stupid.

The weather is still good enough to go to the park often, which is the perfect place for them to get all that fidgety out. They've conquered the big-boy slide, and they're learning the swing. Of course, they still stick everything in their mouth, but they know that they're not allowed to pick up cigarettes. (Hazard of public parks, I'm afraid) They do the appropriate finger-wagging and stern voice, admonishing the butts for having the gall to invade their park.

The crows, on the other hand, are apparently the most fascinating conversation partners. Every bird they see, they talk to it with "Caw, caw" Somehow, though, they understand that helicopters and planes are different. It amazes me they can spot a pigeon on a wire 100 meters away.

We got the clothes for christmas, and let me tell you, the pictures are going to be cute!
