March Madness...But We Like It!

First of all, March Madness is where we celebrate Peter's team, USC making it into the tournament. But further..you can read about our March Madness...

We started out with a few exiting visitors... Sheri came for spring break, then Taylor and his friends stopped over for a few days during their spring break.

 

We had a day at the park where Kai learned how to go down the slide by himself (we couldn't get him to leave after that).


A few random pics...
Kai doing some bathroom business (do you think we can start to potty train him yet?) 
I found Kai in his room reading books on his own (usually it means trouble if he's this quiet).
Kai choosing the spices for dinner and then helping me clean by riding the vacuum.

  



We took a rainy day trip to the aquarium. Kai's favorite part was the dolphin show. He actually watched for 15 minutes! Kai would run to each window and say, "Blup, Blup" (the sound for a fish).



We were surprised to find a St. Patrick's Day Parade in Tokyo, but as you can see it was quite a show...dogs and all!






We went to Toy Kingdom and then had drinks (milk) with a buddy.



Last weekend Kai had his first "Easter Egg Hunt"!



Kai would only keep 2 eggs at a time, so he needed to empty his pocket in the 2nd pic to make room for the new egg he found!
