We knew that Kai loved pasta, but is seemed that he loves Italians too. Uncle Vincenzo came for a visit, and Kai was instantly hooked. (Collage courtesy of Vincenzo B.)

Snow Day
Afternoon at Michael and Melanies
We had planned to go to the “Please Touch Me” museum, but since Kai had slept until 2 and the museum was closing at 4, we went with the flow and rerouted to see Michael, Melanie, and Sydney. It turned out that it was a private amusement park just for us with endless fun and a new friend with cousin Sydney (although some competitive tensions emerging). All topped off with some great home cooked food (by mom of course).
Competing with the Deutschland playground
Kai is growing up. The last time we were here, Kai could barely play (see here), but today Kai was king of the playground. And he put his dutiful serf papa to work.
St. Martin’s Day
St. Martin’s Day is a European harvest festival celebrated with lanterns and popular with children, at least before they were invaded by Halloween. Kai had a good time, and we dressed him in his new clothes from Beijing.
Little Frankie
Kai will make a great crooner. He has the music in his genes.
Kai 2nd Birthday Party Preview
We had a photographer again this year to capture all the excitement (much more going on this year than last year), but wanted to whet the appetite and share the moment. Stay tuned.
Happy 2nd Birthday Kai
It’s hard to believe its been 2 years. I can’t even remember life before you came. You completed us, and every day you grow and amaze us. Looking forward to many, many more celebrations.
Spaceman Kai
After the Red Bull quasi space jump, I think Kai has a potential future in an aeronautical profession 🙂
First Cut
Just before his second birthday, we decided to it was time to get Kai’s haircut. Chika was going in for an appointment and our local stylists offers free cuts to client’s kids. Kai was a smooth customer, appropriately browsing the artwork in the waiting area, calmly sitting for his session, and even offering a few poses to capture the results at the end.
While I like the fresh look, I realize more clearly why Chika wants me to keep my hair longer: clean does not always equate with character.
