First time in a Ball pit

These two were taken at the mitsukoshi play area. Henri enjoyed burying himself in the ball pit while a local little girl threw balls at him (he didn't mind).

Hen's new habit

Lately Henri has gotten into the habit of removing his shoes so that he can chew on them. He especially enjoys doing this at the grocery store when I'm distracted (and he's bored).

Riding the Carousel with his older lady friend Bree

So Henri has finally overcome his fear of the crazy pastel play area at mitsukoshi. Sadly today he fell out of his stroller and bumped his head right when we arrived hence the sad face and pacifier. He cheered up in no time. The reaction from the staff to his fall was very attentive - one lady rushed over with a tissue to wipe his eyes and then she turned around only to rush back with some strange ointment she suggested I put on his head - I asked what it was and she pointed to the only English words on the bottle which said "use only as directed by a physician." I took the swap she squeezed magic ointment on but didn't try it out - she then escorted me to a nurse station where we got an icepack. Nice people/good service, I think. But I had to laugh, later on Bree got Into a scuffle with another kid over a toy and she started crying (more in frustration) and a lady rushed over and started dabbing at her eyes with a tissue, even though my guess Bree's was a tearless cry.
