New studio pics

Kai wasn't in such a great mood at the studio this year, but we were able to get a few pics in.

San in the sun

"San" is 3 in Mandarin. Kai enjoyed his birthday party today. As usual, he loved playing in the fountain. And check out the shirt--thanks Grandma. A legend at 3--let's see what we get at 18.

What a birthday gift...

Thanks Mom! An indoor circus. Barely fits in his old (larger) room.

Bedtime

Kai will do most anything to avoid going to bed, including the usual routine--"I'm thirsty", "I have to go to the bathroom", "where's my teddy bear?", "I'd really like for someone to stay with me", "I'm hungry", "I want to go find Mama", etc.

The first visit to the dentist

Outcome was good--no cavities. And Kai cooperated...mostly.

Those little moments...

Earlier this week we were driving in the car and Kai suddenly shouting, "Dad, the moon is following us! Maybe it's going to the playground too. The moon is doing a good job of following us. It's doing a good job." That last statement comes has an implicit meaning--the moon deserves a sticker.

Kai has a couple blisters on his feet. He looked at them today and said, "Dad, look at my foot! What is that? Let's go to the doctor. So we can ask him what that is."

And tonight at bedtime while working on a word search, he realized the CD playing in the background was telling a story about a boy. He asked, "Dad, what happened to the boy? We'd have to go into the CD player to find out. I'm too big. I don't want the CD player to be broken."
