10 July 08

After lunch we went to meet Momo and Michele over in Shibaura. I suggested that we have coffee at the place Nick and I spotted last weekend. It turned out to be a bar rather than a cafe, and a very nice one at that. An ideal place for chilling out by the waterfront, with lots of tables inside and out. I bet it has a good evening atmosphere too.

Momo is the second person this week to comment that Emily's cephalhaematoma bump seems to be going down, and I think I can see a difference but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

After coffee we went over the road to the city-run kindergarten, where we were able to take the babies to the playroom. It seemed very pleasant and clean and the staff were super-helpful. Emily got to play with some different toys and watch the other, slightly older babies crawl and toddle. We were thinking about buying her some new toys as she seems bored with her old ones, but all I really need to do is take her to these playrooms regularly and use theirs. She spent most of an hour sitting up unaided, only toppling over once or twice.The other mothers all told Momo that she looked like an angel, and indeed she did look extra sweet today in her pink seersucker sundress and bloomers, with a bright smile to match.

At teatime, I was slightly alarmed to notice that she came out in a rash wherever the banana rice had got onto her skin. She didn't seem to have any problem with ingesting it but I didn't give her any more all the same. She's had banana before with no obvious reaction. I think I'll give it a few days then rub a piece of banana on her leg or something and see if her skin reacts again. It will be a shame if she can't have any more.
