I always speak to him in English, and since I work at home now, I spend a fair bit of time with him. But, it's kind of hard talking to someone who doesn't talk back! The best he can do at the moment in English <i>or</i> Japanese is say "ooooh!". :) Hi Flor, thanks for keeping up with the Rikuto posts!

I love the video Nick. We have watched half a dozen times already and I have videoed it onto my camera to take to Italy next week to show his great grandmother and great grandad Brian. They will love it too. You and Mami have done a wonderful job with Rikuto. He is a lovely little boy. Well done! Mark, Don’t give him ideas. I love the video Nick.
