updates and uploads

Uploaded a bunch of photos and a couple of videos of Tonchan.
The Ton has a new phobia: recently she really, really does not like having her eyes or face covered.
She whines whenever she has to pull her shirt on or off, and she goes absolutely ballistic when I cover her eyes with a washcloth and try to rinse the shampoo from her hair.
Also she's not as stupidly fearless about blazing up to the top of the giant slide and sliding down all by herself. At the very top, when she can look through the grated metal and see the ground far, far below, she gets a little freaked out and needs to hold my hand. I reckon she's graduating from smart monkey to small human.
Finally, her favorite thing is running around barefoot. I think this is great; the parks in Japan are generally quite clean so I'm not worried about her stepping on broken glass or crack vials or anything, and it's a good way for her to build her sense of balance.
But yesterday at some point she got a massive wooden splinter in the bottom of her foot, just between the ball of her foot and her big toe. She was whining and crying last night, but made an even bigger panic when I tried to tweezer it out. We even tried stealth attack when she was sleeping, but she was having none of it. So either it works it way out naturally, or she gets a nasty infection and the whole foot falls off...
