Emily wasn't so keen on chicken casserole second time around and it was quite a battle of wills to even get her to have half of it. However, when we went to meet Nick at lunchtime she was only too happy to join in with lunch by munching on sticks of carrot and cucumber, and sipping yogurt. She wasn't very taken with seaweed though!
Afterwards we went to Babies R Us at Kinshicho again, where I got some swimming nappies, as next week we hope to go to one of the temporary pools the children's halls set up in summer. At the store they'd got several toys for trying out, and Emily loved the bouncer. She looked very funny with her little legs dangling out the bottom but she soon got the hang of it and was jumping up and down with a big smile on her face.
It's tempting to get lots of things for her, but she will grow out of most of them so quickly, and we have limited storage at the flat for larger items like that.
Yet again she spent the whole train ride home shouting and squawking very noisily and attracting the attention of all in the carriage. It's hard to remember how annoying other people's kids were when I was childless, though in Japan she mostly draws indulgent smiles.
