Kentucky Ken
This is a journal of Kenneth Akio Werneburg. Recorded by parents with a website, a camera, and no sense of shame, it chronicles the adventures of a Canadian-Japanese boy growing up in Tokyo.
The name of the website was inspired by our downstairs neighbour. She mis-heard the boy's name as "Kentucky Ken". Somehow.

Kenny's always been afraid of the ocean and of swimming pools. But now he's afraid of the bath tub!
I don't know how it started or when, but he's taking to complaining that the shower is scary. And water sitting in the tub. In fact, he'll ask to be held.
The Japanese language has a word for holding a child to your chest; there's another for holding a child on your back. He tends to ask for the former.
I wonder if it's coming from something at the day care, but I can't imagine what it could be?
