Happy June!

To honour the England football match today in Trinidad, Ian and Dad both wore their England soccer shirts to 'Socatots', where Ian now plays on a Sunday morning. Socatots is a Brazilian-run soccer program for 2 and 3 year olds in Bangkok and Ian has made a fine start - it is also a great way for him to burn up the enormous amount of energy he has!

Two weekends ago we had a visit from our friend Sue from Singapore. We had a fun time and (among many activities) had brunch at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, which is where we see Ian and Mom having some fun and overlooking the boats on the Chao Phya River.

We weighed Ian this last week, with him coming in at a 23 lbs. While still quite small for his age, he's very healthy and sleeps better than any parent could ever want. His is still quite behind the growth curve even for his level of prematurity, but the Doctors are not concerned. He is now also copying just about any word he hear's Mom and Dad say (so we have to be careful!) and he has mastered his 1 - 10 and the words to "Twinkle Twinkle little star". Ian also just got his first time-out at school too. In his school report he was cited as having been (to quote) "hitting another child with a plastic hammer". Oh dear Ian, what a naughty boy you have been!
