Adopted with his sisters Yuriko, Rainie, and Naiomi from an unexpected fly by night orphanage, Tama was the first little boy to join our happy little family. His origins unknown only added to the mystery of this very shy, introverted boy. Slowly but surely he adapted to his new family, inadvertently with much help from his inseparable friend Dolly. Even as our family and friends have grown, Tama remains the 'Little Prince' of the household. Thankfully he is a sweet and caring ruler. 😉 His number one job (when he isn't doing his schoolwork) is to be Mommy's best helper. He has been enjoying learning how to build houses for his new little Lilliputian friends who have mysteriously started showing up at our house a few years ago. He can often be found chatting with Ringo, mostly listening to her plan to expand the 'fairy village.'

Any given day of the year he is thrilled to talk about Christmas, a not unexpected trait in a snow pixie. His favorite movie is Rankin Bass claymation version of Jack Frost that he asks to watch on a weekly basis but rarely succeeds outside of the winter holiday season. Inevitably every year he tells anyone who will listen that he knows Santa, saying it as if it is a secret he has never revealed. The declaration is now generally met with groans by his siblings.

Quiet, inquisitive, eager to be helpful, and loves learning new hobbies where he can make things. He has been learning to cook better, and completely adores stickers. Even though he enjoys seeing new places, being around strangers is not easy for him to deal with because he gets very shy, making it hard for him to talk. He also like animals and is slowly acquiring a plushie zoo. Tamayuki likes his older sisters but sometimes gets tired of Yuriko being bossy, especially when she insists that he lets her hug him a lot when he just wants to be left alone. His best friend is Dolly, even though he can be a handful all on his own, but Tamayuki has the super power that allows him to keep Dolly under control. Mostly. Secretly Tama enjoys all the attention he gets from being a short and adorable MDD.

Boy clothes. Always boy clothes. Cute boy clothes. What he determines as acceptable boy clothes is really a rather wiggly line, much because of his older sister Naiomi has thoroughly discussed with him the various influences in male fashion throughout the centuries. Especially the ones that include ruffles and lace.

Baking and cooking for his large family, learning new ways to cook old favorite foods that his Mommy can still enjoy. He likes helping whenever he can, spending lots of time with his best friend Dolly and being Lucas' 'lovely item.' 😉 He also enjoys collecting tons of cute stickers, looking at baby elephant pictures on Pinterest, and still likes to have stories read to him. Anything with cute 'dinorawers' is a bonus.
