Table Disaster

April 30, 2006 / Sunday / 9:50 p.m.

At around 1 year and 4 months, Theo has now reached the age when he insists on some level of independence, and this evening, he insisted on feeding himself. Mommy D obliged, with disastrous (but still cute) consequences, as you can see from the photo above.

What we found more amazing recently was his ability to follow our simple instructions, such as asking him to give something to one of us or to put garbage in the trash bin or used clothes in the laundry basket. Without a doubt, the older he gets, the more endearing he becomes.

It is now the so-called Golden Week in Japan and it will be national holidays from Wednesday to Friday. Mommy D, Theo and I are planning to go to Ueno (in Tokyo) on Thursday and meet up with Tippi and Ian for a nice day in the park. We're sure Theo will enjoy feeding the pigeons, which will be his first. Certainly, you'll see the photos in the next post. Till then...
