Tony at leisure.

Tony to go to Suzhou for Children's Day.

Tony, accompanied by his mother Jenny, will go to Suzhou for Children's Day. 

 

They are going on a schol trip to some amusement park.

Tony just #8

Tony just got home from school.  Getting off the van, Tony was picked up by his Dad.

 

Dad took him for a walk.  At the small shop, Tony insisted on Dad purchasing a cola.

 

Tony told his father to look at the butterflies.

Tony just #7

It is Monday, so Tony just went to school.

 

He woke up grumpily, but eventually his mood brightened.

 

 

Last eveining, Tony asked me to set up the train set for him.  I put the track together.  And then Tony looked around.  "Where is the train?" he asked.

 

That was the first time, I have heard him ask a "Where is?" questiion.

Tony just #6

Tony just put his shoes on.   His father saw him do this for the first time at the playground.

 

Just a couple qualifiers.  The shoes were slip-on.   Tony has been doing this for a week.  His father only noticed now.

Tony just #5

Tony was just at my school.  He and his mother were downtown so they could go to the playground.

They first came to the school so we could have lunch together.  We went to a restaurant near the school.  Tony ate quickly and dragged Dad to the upstairs of the establishment.  He made me sit down in the upstairs for some reason which I was not able to ascertain.

Come on Tony! Get up!

Tony just #4

Tony just showed Dad that he can count to 7.

 

Tony also surprised his father by identifying the color purple and by "out of the blue" saying banana and pineapple.

Tony just #3

Tony just went to kindergarten.  His father carried him to the van that takes him there.  

Dad gave Tony a good bye kiss and told him to be a good boy.  Tony gave Dad a kiss in return.

Tony just #2

Tony just drank the bottle of milk his father made for him.  Now, it remains to be seen if Tony will happily get up to go to school.

Tony Just #1

Introducing a new feature to TKIC, called Tony Just.  Think of it as tweeting, TKIC style.

 

Tony Just #1: 

 

Tony just asked Dad to put a disc of music videos by The Jam into the DVD player.  The Jam were late seventies, early eighties British Punk Band.  Tony's Dad liked them a lot.  And now, so does Tony.

Five a.m. Bottle

The K family, all three, sleep together: Mom on one side, Tony in between, and Dad on the other. 

 

The last week has seen Tony,  awake his father at about five a.m., and ask for milk.

 

Dad has been obliging Tony.

Tony and his toy helicopter

Tony goes to the cinema for the first time.

A neighbor gave us free movie tickets for a cinema on Wuxi's Zhongshan Road.  We (the K family) used them last night (Saturday). 

 

We went to see a Ultraman movie.  We saw People with plastic/metal clothes and headwear battle each other, as well as other people who were wearing Godzilla-like rubber monster suits.  And there was a lot of grunting and explosions.

 

The movie half captured Tony's attention who wouldn't sit at a seat with Dad, but half the time sat on a folding chair in the aisle when he wasn't running up and down the aisles.

 

It will be a while before we will be taking Tony to a cinema again.

Tony holds up his car for the camera

Dad pointed the camera at Tony. Tony noticed the camera and so held up a toy car (one of the two that had been found in a previous entry).

Tony seems to know about posing for the camera now.

Last night, Tony greeted his father by saying "Fight!" with a mischievous smile. Tony loves wrestling with his Dad.

Tony plays a guitar and sings into a mircrophone
