My Nephew Reynald

I have a nephew. His name is Reynald. He was born in 2016. He is five years old now. He is my older sister's first born child. He lives in Bandung with his father, mother and sister-to-be.

Reynald is a good-looking boy. He has big round eyes. His hair is black and stiff. His nose is pointy and his lips are pouty. He is an active child. He likes playing ball and swimming. He is also very talkative. Sometimes, he can be rather naughty. However, he is also an attentive and kind boy. Right now he is very excited about being a big brother.
