A video of snack after clinic visit here.

Masaki's tummy is still watery, both Naoya and Masaki cough a lot, so went to clinic to get more meds. It's been cold and rainy so we had snack at cafe for change.

They had eye Dr. appointment yesterday, and Dr. said nothing's wrong with their eyes so far. We'll go back again in 6 months.

Jiji drove us in the morning, and we arrived home safely without traffic. Thank you jiji! We took out babies for walk and they wanted to walk by themselves badly, although they were wobbling so bad. They must be tired and sick...

Jiji drove up to pick us up in the morning, we all packed ourselves to his car and went off to my parents'. Babies were fine, had a little nap, and we stopped by to get some stuff and lunch at Saizeriya, kids favorite Italian restaurant. Babies explored the garden at home, making mess at home. We managed to use everybody's help except lazy older kids who were doing nothing but playing games and watching videos, and ended the day.

Masaki & grumpy Naoya

It's a day between long weekends, and we went to clinic to get more medicine for babies. It was packed, the other clinic was closed which didn't help, but we waited patiently for 2 hours...;-) We got prescriptions, had quick lunch, picked up medicine, and went on to papa's office. As we were in Hiroo, papa's office was only 2 stops away on Hibiya, I deliberately took this horrible subway. First of all, Hiroo station has an elevator that goes only to the ticket gate floor. Doh. They have a simple version of wheelchair escalator that is attached to handrail which goes to platform, but off course they won't let me use that for stroller. I asked for help at station staff, and he told me I had to hold a baby. Well, I have two. He kept repeating the same, and I kind of understand the disclaimer that he's trying to tell me so I just told him to bring the bottom part of the stroller. So, I took out the seat one by one, and let Masaki cry hard on the platform while bringing asleep Naoya on the seat, the staff managed to bring down the bottom part, and we put seat back on. Babies were totally fine on the subway. And at Kamiyacho, we got off, took elevator up to the gate, out of the gate, there are about 10 steps of stairs which has that wheelchair elevator. Again. So I asked station staff to carry the bottom part again, let Masaki cry hard on the floor while I carry Naoay's seat, put them back on and moved on. Oh Hibiya line sucks. I guess they don't really expect strollers, but it's not helpful to anybody who are handicapped in a various way.

So, at papa's office, babies were grumpy, Masaki managed to run around, but Naoya was terrible, I guess they were just tired. So we left shortly, and took Mita line back home, which has elevators goes ground to platform. So much easier.

As babies fell asleep on the stroller, moms went to Roppongi Hills to check out the final day of sake event. It was packed. Lisa & Sara's mom went to get sake and food, she managed to get Juuyondai 十四代, which is really hard to get. And yes it's sooo good! And we enjoyed the food, too!

A video of babies playing water here.

Chelsea invited us for a nursery at St. Alban's church where her younger son goes to, and we went to check out with Mo. It's close to Tokyo Tower, and we walked! We met Lisa & Sara there, too, and played at their play ground for an hour. Babies found water and off course they got soaking wet...;-). Mo helped us a lot and got tired after lunch, and he left for home by bus by himself. Thank you, Mo!
