Hello, world! · Since May 2016

Hi, I’m Arthur.

Big brother to Reagan, builder of Lego cities, kitchen-lab scientist and a boy who believes in living life to the fullest.

My parents started this little corner of the internet when I was a baby. Ten years later, here’s my story so far.

A few of my favourite things

What gets me excited

Arthur riding his blue kids suitcase through the airport

Wheels & engines

Toy trucks, die-cast cars, buses, trains and ride-on suitcases. I’ve been checking wheels like a real mechanic since I was one.

Arthur grinning at a big foam science experiment

Kitchen-lab science

Lava lamps, volcanoes, oobleck, dry ice and homemade tornadoes. If it fizzes, glows or bubbles over, I’m in.

Martial arts

Kicks, blocks and lots of practice. Level-up day came with a brand-new green belt.

Seeing the world

Bali beaches, snow in Australia and Japan, the Eiffel Tower and the Swiss Alps. Every trip is a new adventure.

Milestones

Ten years of firsts

First swim, first steps, first snow, first day of school and the day I became a big brother. Papa and Mama caught them all.

Koko Arthur & little Reagan

In December 2020 I met my baby brother Reagan for the very first time. I was super excited, and I still am. “Koko” means big brother, and it’s my favourite job.

These days we’re a team: pool splashers, Lunar New Year buddies in matching red, hot-spring bathers in Japan and chief taste-testers of every snack in the house.

A letter for grown-up Arthur

This website is our gift to you. Inside is a letter, ten things we hope you’ll always remember, and the words we wrote to you when you were little, saved here for the day you’re all grown up.
