Emily had a difficult morning. She was running a bit of a temperature and cried a lot, so I wasn't sure that we should go out as planned. However, she seemed better after Calpol and a long nap, so we went out in the rain to Tamachi station to meet Momo. She had asked another mum, Jean to join us for lunch. Jean's baby Valerie is 8 months old, and was born in Germany. Jean is Singaporean Chinese, but also lived in Australia; her English is impeccable as it is her first language. Valerie is really advanced and already pulling herself up on furniture and crawling well. She is a bright little thing and can wave and clap her hands.
We had some food at the nearby boulangerie/cafe beneath the station, and spent three hours sitting there at the tables outside. Emily was very patient though she inevitably got a bit cranky with nowhere to lay down and play. With three separate social fronts open I feel that we have more than enough scope for friends for Emily and me now.In fact it is quite hard trying to juggle them and keep seeing them all regularly. No complaints though!
