Because I am working at a kindergarten, I get to check out all of the kids’ lunches, and I am really impressed by all of the good ideas that the moms here in Japan have for cute lunch boxes. Now that Saya is coming to school with me a few days a week, I have [...]

For kids in Japan, summer is a time for festivals. They dress up in yukatas (summer kimonos), eat ice cream, catch goldfish, and play with fireworks. On Saturday we had our summer festival at school. This year Saya wore a yukata for the first time. She looked beautiful and we were so proud of her! [...]

Saya has been attempting to dress herself for a while now. She wants to put on her shirt by herself, but she ends up just putting it behind her head instead of over her head. But yesterday after our bath I left the room for a minute, and when I came back she was wearing [...]

Junji has been in Kyoto this weekend, and Saya and I have been enjoying our time together in Kochi. Today, we went out by bicycle for the first time together. (I borrowed a baby seat from my friend.) It was so warm and sunny. Saya was wearing her summer clothes, and I even ended up [...]
Strange Weather

It has been a slow and rainy week here in Kochi. I feel so uninspired during weeks like this. Today it stopped raining, and Saya and I went out exploring a bit. The weather was strange. It was eerie to be standing in this bright sunlight while the sky was so [...]
