The photographers did a really good job getting smiles out of him! The Momotaro pictures are awesome.

Rikuto looks like such a happy boy and his smile is very endearing! I can’t decide which shot I like best but it looks like you definitely got your money’s worth.

Nice picture. How did they get Rikuto to smile so much?

The girls at Studio Alice have mastered their Anpanman jokes. They must have done the routine a million times before to get the kids to smile, because it even worked on me!

Thanks Nick, I will print them off and look forward to showing Rikuto when he is 35years old.

Geez Nick, I know everyone here is going to say how great those photos are and yes I’m right there with them. I know they cost a bundle but wow, they really did a great job of getting him to look at the camera and I’m even thinking about getting one with Mickey!!!
I can’t believe he did not cry as Mickey looks quite scary considering how big he is. Off topic, when is his birthday???

Let’s get a photo with Mickey together Keith, but you’ll first have to tell me an Anpanman joke first to get me smiling!
