...amidst this all, my little baby girl actually smiled at me today. She's going to be quiet the charmer, I think. She's already got her father under her little pinky, and in two months flat. She's already beating her mother by a long shot.
Meanwhile, Kohaku continues to frown and make unintelligible annoyed noises. Hmmm...just like another someone I know.
Packing's begun. I don't know what to make of this situation. I've grown to like this apartment, a lot, and now they're moving us out of it. Why can't we just stay here for the program? Well, we'll figure something out.
