She now got used to jiji after a week with him, and let him hold her on his laps.

MoMA STORE
Went Harajuku/Omotesando area with Uncle George and checked out MoMA Store in Omote sando. She liked the desk & chair they have, and started drawing with crayons they had. Pretty store in great location. It’s our new play spot with kids.

Kanpai!
Went to Ginjo Shinshu Matsuri at Yurakucho after work with a co-worker. It's a tasting event of new Ghinjoshu. As a belated Mother’s Day present, my husband picked up and looked after Tonchan for me while I was there.
This sake, “Chokai no Shizuku” from Tennju in Akita Pref. was a unique one: had a flavor of strawberry!
My face was totally red after lots of tasting I forgot to count, and had some chai at Starbucks before heading back to home.

Grass and Soil
母さん知らぬ 草の子を
なん千万の 草の子を
土はひとりで 育てます
草があおあお しげったら
土はかくれて しまうのに
Children of grass,who don’t know their own mother
Thousands of children of grass
Soil brings them up all alone
Once grass grow thick and lush
Soil will be hidden underneath
My favorite kid’s TV program has a poem introduction skit from time to time, and this one is on for this month. This poet, Misuzu Kaneko, created tons of those simple, innocent, yet very insightful poems, which are very touching, and sometimes move me to tears. The translation I made here might not be able to deliver the sense and feeling this poet has, but it touched me, especially now that I’m bringing up my own child, the devotion to your own child is enormous, yet the material reward is almost none.

Bye bye!
Since I stopped breast feeding, I was on a diet not to produce milk for the past 5 days, and I lost 2 kilos. Most of it must be water; I had maybe a glass of water a day in total liquid I consumed.
Thanks to my husband, those past days aren’t that bad. He kept Tonchan busy during the day, and held her at nights when she wakes up from nightmare. She still shows me “milk” sign language, but I just tell her that she graduated it and she’s a strong girl she doesn’t need it anymore. Whenever she’s sleepy or grumpy, she touches my torso but she stops going down. Amazing. It’s her big, THE first challenge. She should be fine in a week or two.

長靴
Today’s purchase. We were wondering at a store, then she found this pair of rain boots, took it by hand and tried on. Perfect size for her.
チュウ
She found this baby doll at a store, and started playing with it. Don’t know if she thought it’s a real baby or not, she started kissing to the doll.

ボーネルンド
Went to check out Bornelund opened at Roppongi Hills. She was excited and happy to play with a microwave toy. It’s our new play spot.

クラムチャウダー
Took Tonchan to polio vaccination in the afternoon. After that, took her back to work until 6 p.m. I was lazy going home to cook, instead, we went to Homework's for dinner. She liked Clam Chowder.

トレイが好き？
Don’t know what’s so great about the aluminum tray, she sits on it on her stomach so many times. Maybe the noise it makes?
