Henri the Torturer

Today at Takashimaya we swung by the play area and hark! they had added a new toy for the little tots to play with. Only there was a little boy sitting on it, not moving a muscle or being the least bit playful but clearly staking his claim. So Henri did what he does best and just started pushing it around with the boy still on it having a grand time. Most children might find this fun but this little boy was clearly threatened and instead of lashing out toddler style he sat there in silent misery, with the most tortured expression on his face. Then other children crowded around the new toy to check it out. The boy continued to sit in his quiet dismayed state with silent tears going down his face while his father and I tried to contain a couple giggles... Eventually the poor boy broke and let out one tiny wail and his father rescued him - poor tortured thing.

Henri playing with a drum today at kindermusik. When we started he would only have been interested in mouthing this drum... Not that he's lost total interest in this.

The Grand Hotel

After watching a fraction of a show on CNN on Taipei and seeing the Grand Hotel featured we decided to take a look. The Grand Hotel has an underground slide for a quick get away in case a VIP needs to escape. Since we aren't VIP we didn't get to go down the slide so we just walked around instead...

Henri did a few scenes with this little girl who he later kissed right on the mouth with very little prompting...
