Poor Esco can’t get a nap without being harassed.

We got takeshi a14″ bike today. Kenji is almost a master at using the training wheels.

If only school was this fun

More pictures of Takeshi cannonballing.

Happy fish

Takeshi drew a picture of a big fish that ate a bunch of little fish: happy fish. And it was for me, which is why he wrote my name (no instructions needed) on the back.

CANNONBAAAAALL!

Today was Day 2 (of eight) of Takeshi’s swimming lessons. Not surprising, he’s doing well — he keeps up with the instructor and even (in typical Takeshi style) challenges the teacher by refusing to get out of the water. Today they practiced jumping into the water — Takeshi took it upon himself to jump as high and as far as he could, doing mini-cannonballs. It’s too bad the No Fear company isn’t around anymore; he could be their posterchild.

Visiting friends

Last weekend we visited some friends in PA, where Jay got to get on the turntables for a little bit and Takeshi and Kenji got to dance and run around. Takeshi busted out his breakdancing moves before realizing: 1. it’s not so easy to breakdance on grass and 2. there were Daddy Longlegs to be caught.

Takeshi loves Tygris

Poor Tygris just can’t get a break.

Takeshi and the cats

Takeshi has been spending a lot of time enjoying the cats lately. I think he would love a dog.
