Baby Masanori’s first trip to the park keeps his parents on their feet.

“Tweet-tweet!” Masanori wriggles out of Hairu’s arms and races for the bird. It squeaks and flies off.

“Masanori, be careful,” calls Ui.

“I’m careful.” Masanori giggles and hurries over to the fountain.

“Shit,” Hairu mumbles to Ui, just as their child tumbles into the water.

Luckily, the water isn’t deep. Ui fishes Masanori out.

“It’s wet.” Masanori grins and hugs Ui. “Now you’re wet, too.”

“I am indeed,” Ui says dryly.

“Can you take me on the slide?” Masanori points over to the playground.

“Yes!” Hairu grabs him by the hand. “Hold onto me now.”

She helps Masanori climb to the top.

“I want to go in your lap.” Masanori’s eyes are wide.

“Okay.” Hairu sits him down. “Ready?”

“Ready.”

“Wheeee!” Hairu shoves off, and they slide to the bottom, where Ui’s open arms are waiting to catch his son.
