Huh.. huh...huh...huh.

One of the most important items in our home is the huh...huh...huh...huh. For those uninitiated in baby talk (or is it just Rai talk?), that translates to 'blanket'. For as long as we can remember, Rai, your myriad blankies have all gone by the same name, huh...huh...huh...huh. Readers, if you can't quite sound that out, imagine Rai grabbing a blanket, stuffing it in his face (or his face into it) and making a panting kind of noise. To this day, when requesting his blankie or simply when seeing a blankie lying around somewhere, Rai emits that panting noise. Not a day goes by when Rai doesn't get 10-15 minutes on a bed, rolling around in and smothering himself in a pile of blankets.
So, it's been tough for Rai to see little Kotaru claim some of his old blankies. In Rai's world, it's completely acceptable to tear a blanket off of a sleeping newborn, leaving the trembling newborn exposed and cold. That type of behavior may not go over well in other homes but this is a home filled with humor, sarcasm and prank. Ko, Mom, Dad, and Rai all get a good laugh, we all get a good look at Ko's cute little chicken legs, then put the blanket back on the baby and give Rai some other huh...huh...huh...huhs that he can play with.
