Just a quick post to show you Keita's height. We measured him on his birthday and the top black line is his (it says Keita, aged 13 against it) and the black line directly under it is me (my name starts with what looks like a capital I). I'm not sure what the faint line under that is, but probably Keita earlier in the year. Under that one, is Keita's on his 12th birthday. There is another faint one (which is Aya's friend) and then a whole load of Aya, Lisa and Kana - they didn't grow much from there so all the lines are very close to each other. The very last one in the picture (there are more on the wall) is Keita when he was 10.

The other photo was taken last Sunday at a baseball match. You can see that his new Number is 18 - the same as one of the pro pitchers although I can't remember which one! They won the match so are into the finals this Sunday.
