One expression in particular, amused us most. It was the expression of deep thought: his face would take on a very deliberate, ponderous expression. "Wow, look! He's in such deep thought!" we would remark, excited. While maintaining this contemplative expression he would often add to it by bringing his hands to his face. He was The Thinker reborn! Surely this was the very moment Rodin was trying to capture in his famous piece of art.
The strange thing was, however, that he often followed his deep thought posturing with an expression that seemed to say "I'm guilty and maybe a bit ashamed, yet so satisfied." What could this possibly mean?
Our question was soon answered and our fascination with his 'thinker' look was short lived as our ears and noses were promptly rewarded with the results of his deliberation; a plethora of sounds and aromas. As it turns out, Rai certainly was in deep thought. In deep thought over his bowel movements, that is.
For every cause there is an effect, so for every feed there must be diaper change. The included video showcases Rai in one of his 'thinking moments' and the photos illustrate one of the great joys of parenthood! Rai can now bottle-feed himself (with the help of his blankie) and today, after almost a full day hiatus, he gave us the mother of all soiled diapers. Non-parents or those with sensitive eyes, shield them now.
