inside, at home

With all the rainy weather, we've had to find ways to have fun indoors. Saturday afternoon, we invited our neighbors over to play. Clockwise from atop are: Weiting (an older cousin), Binbin, Didi (simply younger brother), and Junjun. Here, Binbin offers Weiting instruction on how to use the various handtools in his Little Red Toolbox Book. Didi is poking through a new toy, called a "dongdong le 洞洞樂," or caves of happiness. A convenience store re-make of an old toy, the cardboard pieces may be poked out revealing "prizes" of magnets, plastic bracelet, pencil toppers, 20-sided dice, and other little trinkets. Junjun has a hold of his prize.



Binbin has also gotten his own seal from the local shop. It's a simple wood seal with a little monkey printed on one side. Binbin spent part of the morning emblazoning his drawing pad with his name.
