Boo hoo hoo! I don't want to shampoo!!

Takahiro has developed an aversion to washing his hair. He used to just lay back in his bath and let me rinse his hair. Now he is super sensitized to me pouring water on his head. Miku so kindly bought him this shampoo hat to keep the water out of his eyes. But he didn't want to wear it as you can see his reaction in the photos.

Birthday

It was fun having Teru and Miku here to celebrate with.
Takahiro helped blow out the candles....and eat cake!
Stawberry mousse cake mmm......

Summer Blossoms

Takahiro liked disecting these summer blossoms that Miku brought us from Pike's market.

Mmmm Sushi!

Takahiro liked eating sushi. He enjoyed dipping it into the soy sauce. Here he is trying tamago. (cooked sweet egg)





















next was ebi (cooked shrimp)


I was surprised to discover that he really loves ikura (salmon roe) !

We used the swimming pool once this summer! It was on the 4th of July. I ended up bringing out pots of hot water from the stove to warm up the pool!

Father and son duet!

But where is the Green Sheep?!

We took Takahiro to this interactive play. We sat in the middle of a sheep fence while the cast ran all around the fence looking for the green sheep. Here is Takahiro with the green sheep.
