It rained all day on Saturday. Junji was working, and Saya and I tried to find ways to entertain ourselves at home. She was so sweet coloring pictures and getting cozy on the futon, but by three o’clock I felt like we just had to get out of the house, so we went to the mall. (It seems like everyone goes to the mall on rainy days in Kochi. There aren’t too many indoor entertainment options around here.) I bought Saya her first baby doll. I thought she would love it, and I was right. Later that night we spent over an hour passing that little doll around between the three of us. She would carry the baby to me, make me hold her for about 10 seconds, take her back, carry her to Junji, hand her to Junji for ten seconds, take her back, carry her to me, and on and on and on. Well, I am happy that she likes her new toy.
Luckily, Sunday was a beautiful day. We had a potluck lunch at our house, and then a bunch of friends biked down the river to this cool park. Saya tested the water, and decided she wanted to swim, so we stripped her down and let her play in the river naked. After that she played in the park (still naked). I don’t know how many more of these perfect days we will have in Kochi before the rainy season and then the hot, humid summer sets in. At least we found a nice swimming spot to escape to.
Saturday…
Sunday…
