Tama Zoo

We had a great trip to the Tama Zoo with some friends on the first day of J's school vacation!

Kimono

We had the opportunity to have J try on a kimono this week.  Some friends from school offered to let J borrow their kimono for a traditional picture that children have at his age.  As you can see it was quite a process getting him dressed.  Three different moms helped and they used instructions!

Cute family picture.

The true to life picture!

So it's been a while since my last post on account of hubby is pretty much flat on his back sick. Thus we don't have any cool pictures or accounts of fun events in the last few weeks.  I have however learned a lot of things this past week.  Number one of course has to be how much Hubby does that I don't realize, especially in Japan.  

2.  I CAN find my own headache medicine in the drug store if B tells me what to say to the pharmacist.

3.  I can return books to the library and ask for the ones that I have requested, again with B's help with the Japanese.

4.  Sick kids can be taken to the doctor by their non-Japanese speaking mother.

5.  General entertainment of the children...(Thanks to lots of nice people who try to understand what I'm saying in Japanese.)

You get the idea.  Here's hoping B gets better soon!
