Hiroko's Hitokoto

 Boys standing It must be because of teething, they didn't seem having enough sleep, and grumpy the most of the time.

Tangled babies Sunday morning active boys and a lazy girl

 Lunch at Bio c Bon Salad for mama Recent favorite break spot is this French originated organic supermarket in Azabu Juban. Great thing about it is that it has a big table you can eat what you purchased there, always not very crowded, has bathroom upstairs with diaper changing table. And the stuff they sell are not so expensive, and tasty. Even kids love their deli food. They always have cheese samples, if I were a wine lover, I would've spent a good amount of time just hanging out here.

It was very good weather with 25C outside, so we went out and had lunch with Ton at Dean and Deluca in Juban. She's a great help and great company!

 Babies chewing on celery sticks Tatami room's been very hot so we moved to bad room to sleep. They can hear better so it's less destruction there, too. They had good nap there this afternoon.

Family breakfast at Sawamura. He had a TV show he didn't want to miss, so left before us, ordered his panini, and there waiting for us to arrive. How awesome is that!

Too hot to go out side, stayed home all day long. Naoay's been practicing for standing up, and Masaki started showing interest of doing the same...

 Naoya pulled himself up on feet Oh the progress! He's able to hold him on his feet!  Went to see Michael & Masae and their girl baby Mia at Hiroo today. She's 1 month old and how cute & small she is! Girl is softer than boys.... Anyhow it was hot day again...

They've been coughing for the past 3 days and sounded getting worse, I took them to clinic in the morning, and got medicine. Free of charge because kids healthcare is covered by local government, BTW. It's been very hot and we've stayed home for the most of time last week, babies having runny nose, cough, and less peeing which was not a good sigh. So I started give them formula more frequently.  A video of Naoya on training here .

Masaki He tried lettuces from my salad and seemed liking it. Maybe the crisp sound interested him?
