Pictures that I promised you!

Yep a ton of them.

Let's explain. Clark has become very helpful lately. He'll stir and is somewhat decent. Though when he was allowed to make okara chicken nuggets, we decided to do things a little outside the norm.




He loves holding hands! Anytime we tell him to, he gladly grabs hands, even with other children we've just met. He LOVES it. I feel bad that some of the kids he plays with don't dig it that much.



He's also gained a new skill. Almost two weeks ago Clark started climbing up our little plastic slide at home. He's been trying to do that from the day that we got it from Obaachan and Ojiichan. He's graduated to climbing the slides at the park.






Clark also LOVES umbrellas. He has tried to help with the big umbrella, but they are too heavy, so we got him his own. It had to be tested as soon as we got it. He wouldn't let it go for the first hour or two after we bought it.



Masaki thinks he's a jedi, and since Clark talks like yoda, he's becoming one too. In interesting linguistic news, he's speaking in complete grammatically correct english sentences now, not just Japanese, and finally referred to himself by his Japanese name, and not just 'Cackky'




This last picture is for Pam. Not because she asked for it, but because Clark REALLY wanted to share it with her. We have the most success with Teddy Grahams as a 'reward'. I fell horrible, but it is the only way he'll sit on the toilet, and with the way he fights to keep the diaper off, he NEEDS to use the toilet. He can do it when he sits on the toilet, but getting him there, is a bit of a hard time. I'm in trouble when they run out soon. I got them as a party favor from someone who can get on Zama base. EEk. Time to make my own graham crackers(with less sugar...HA!)




I lied, the last picture will be of one of our Lilies. I'll try to take pictures of the wine red ones soon.
