Another child bit my daughter at nursery school. Apparently during snack time, my daughter had tea. Misako-chan tried to take her tea. My daughter held fast to her cup so Misako-chan leaned in and bit my daughter's cheek!
Mimi stopped biting before she even really began. She has never bit out of anger but gave me and her father test puppy bites when ( Read more... )

I thought my water broke last night. I had been having near constant practice contractions for two days. In the middle of the night I woke feeling a bit strange. Half asleep I wondered if that was it. 2 months early. I haven't researched breathing techniques yet. I only recently learned vague information about the stages of labor. At my last ( Read more... )

Recently, I cannot get enough of oatmeal. Possibly because it's warm or maybe because it's so easy to make. Since Mimi has oatmeal and fruit every morning for breakfast, we always have a stash of old-fashion oats. I make a bowl for myself with cinnamon and occasionally fruits, like banana (today) pineapple or apple. I want to find more mix-ins for ( Read more... )

Mimi still has a fever. When we took her to the hospital, she didn't have a cough. The day after though, she developed a cough. I've canceled 4 hours of Japanese lessons and the JLPT is just weeks away. If Mimi naps, I'll take a practice test to remind myself of the test format.

I'm searching for an Angelic Pretty skirt for my friend. I really think ( Read more... )

I woke up a few moments ago. I was dreaming I was out shopping and everyone was on spring break. At the hotel, I had a separate room from James. It was because we were traveling with friends and had a girl's room and a guy's room. Still, when we bumped into Miranda, it gave her hope and satisfaction that we weren't staying together.
For whatever ( Read more... )

Even though it's his birthday, James bought me a present! He bought me a brand new bike with a child seat for Mimi. My bike is blue, super cute and comfortable. Mimi and I took it for a test ride. She seemed to enjoy it. He of course bought her a bike helmet. I'll be getting mine soon but the store he went to didn't have adult helmets (!?). Mimi's ( Read more... )

My daughter has a temperature of about 39 C or 102 F. She seems to be okay- a little fussy I guess.

We've all had a busy week. Tomorrow is James's birthday! If Mimi is doing okay, later today I might bake brownies for the occasion. Last year, I baked a cake, we ate calzones and watched Battle Royale. It was James' first birthday in 7 or so years ( Read more... )

This past week has been crazy! After getting over the most intense stomach flu and dehydration I can remember, I had to start packing to move super far away!

While I packed and our apartment was in varying states of chaos, my daughter was amazing! It wasn't always safe for her to crawl around but she handled her baby chair confinement well.I took ( Read more... )

We're on our way to our new home! The movers picked everything up this morning. It took less than a half hour to load everything onto the truck! All the utilities were paid and shut off. Finally, our apartment was checked for damage. Luckily we're clean, considerate people so we will be getting some money back from our final month of rent. We're ( Read more... )

I'm off to an end of the year luncheon. I'm wearing children's knit tights. They're even longer on me than they were when I bought them. I guess sometime though out the winter, my legs thinned out a little. You'd never know it by looking considering I was layered in tights, leggings and pants and still managed to numb all of my toes! Spring is like ( Read more... )
