I am so glad that I got the picture thing figured out. It'll come in handy when we go back to Japan. Friends and relatives in America can read all about Bailey and see pictures as well.

Bailey is getting smarter and smarter day by day. For example, his Blue's Clues chair. When we first got it (about four days ago) he got so frustrated that he couldn't get out of it by himself. And then, overnight, he somehow figured out that if he makes his bady stiff like a board he can just slide out of the chair and onto his butt. Another example, he pulled up on the back of the love seat under the archway because he wanted to get something on it. He was too short to reach it, so he decided to stand up on my leg to give himself the height to reach it. And it worked!!

He has been a real fire cracker a ll day. Amanda's friend Kristin came by and he was laughing at everything she did or said. He thought she was the greatest. Then, later in the evening when I was helping Mom clean up the dining room, he wore himself out crawling back and forth just to be in the middle of everything. So, he has already gone to sleep. He wore us both out today.
