Oops. I promised some weirdness in my last update. I forgot the weirdness.

You want weirdness?

Let’s see… how about the Perverted Old Man Photography Club that has young models come and pose in front of various things picture? Today’s theme was cherry blossoms.

Apparently they meet every once in awhile and have models stand in front of different things where they take pictures. This was just the first round. Right as we were leaving they had changed into mini skirts and there was a camera taking frenzy. nice… never mind the lack of cherry blossoms.

Ok… we should balance that out with a cool picture of Noa (because he is cool.)

He looks like a rapper.

Hmm… still not balanced.

Let’s add in a movie of him saying something random:

Finally, people have been asking about what Noa likes.

Here is a list of things that Noa likes that may or may not be correct.

1. Food (any)
2. Anpan-man
3. Trains and Cars
4. Elephants
5. Punching his parents in the face and then saying “ow”
6. Dancing
7. Stickers

Recently he loves peeling off stickers. Fortunately he usually puts them on paper.

So, how was our week?

It wasn’t too exciting. It is almost Sakura (Cherry Blossom) season, so we have been taking it easy.

We thought we would take this opportunity to show you what we have been up to recently.

First things first, people wanted more of the half-baby parade.

Noa was also transported to Toys R Us where his Grandmother (over here) bought him a wheel rider. He loved it in the store, but has since decided that he only wants to push it around.

Noa has also decided that he can get angry for reasons ranging from nothing to not getting him his milk quick enough.

For those of you who doubt Noa can speak English. Here he is talking about his favourite thing.

I think Kiko may have finally overtaken me in the photo department.

… with a special appearance by me.

So! Noa loves elephants. In Japan apaprently elephants go “Paaaaaauuu” so that’s what Noa screams whenever he sees an elephant. Our good friend, Nakanishi-san, bought Noa a nice big elephant stuff toy. Watch as Noa opens it up!

The next weekend we took a trip to Toys R Us. There, Noa shows his gift for singing (clearly better than Jim) while playing the piano. Heres a picture:

And here’s the video…

and finally

NOA VS. Tickle Me Elmo X : Round 2

So, our very dear friends Mike and Lara bought Noa a ticklet me Elmo before Christmas last year. (Thank you!!!) You should have seen the shuddering and terror it brought to Noa. Unfortunately we couldn’t get the video up. Well, we haven’t been able to bring it out of the box because Noa has developed some sort of trauma over it.

We thought that since we were in Toys R Us, and Noa was having such a good time, that we would give it another go in a new environment to see if he hadn’t warmed up to Elmo….
