Ah-chi

Tesshin has become an eating monster. He eats so much more now, which we're really happy about. He lost so much weight being sick. He was 19 pounds at a year and he's still 19 pounds 6 months later. He loves rice more now than before. He gets so excited when the rice cooker beeps. He must know that food is on it's way. He usually eats up to one adult bowl of rice per meal now. Well, everytime I scoop rice onto his plate I have to blow on it to cool it down. While I cool it down, I say "Tesshin, gohan wa ah-chi ah-chi" which mean that the rice is hot. I'll put it down on his high chair tray and he'll keep blowing on it. This past Monday we went to Tessho's grandma's place and had dinner. Tesshin was so excited to be eating that he forgot to blow on the rice and he ended up spitting it out and saying "Ah-chi". Tessho and I looked at each other and laughed. It was pretty cool to hear Tesshin using his words and using them at the appropriate times.
