Yutaro

We are temporarily hosting Yutaro, a Japanese boy, as his host family placement fell through. He is a fantastic kid. We're having so much fun together.

We used Skype so I could chat with his father. His English is pretty good. He owns a ramen noodle shop in the Tokyo area.

Last night we went to St. Johns. He ordered a double cheeseburger. He kept exclaiming, "This burger is amazing!"

After eating the double cheeseburger and fries he asked if he could have another single cheeseburger! He enjoyed every bite.

Kit has lots of fun playing with Yutaro. He spent several hours reading books to her. She loved it.

Yutaro was here nearly 3 hours before he asked Dream if she has a boyfriend. I promptly emphasized the boy-only and girl-only portions of the house.

The plan is for him to stay with us through the weekend. By then they hope to find a permanent host for him. But it will likely take a bit longer.

Waited 3 LONG hours probably. It was most likely love at first sight. How cute.
