19 November 08

Emily now has one and a half teeth on the top, and I found that there was one just coming through on the bottom. It's hard to find out as she doesn't like me putting my fingers in her mouth.


Though markedly chillier, it was extremely clear and sunny. Nick said he had great views from Izumi Garden Tower to Fuji-san and the mountains that way. I'd arranged to escort Silvia to her first TMG meeting, which was being held at Shirokanedai Children's Hall. I hadn't been aware of its existence, and as it is only 20 minutes from home I was keen to check it out. Silvia was hesitant about trying to get there on her own, so I offered to meet her at Tamachi and go with her, instead of walking there. I know she's only been here two months, but she really needs to be more adventurous; I find her rather wet, to be honest. She said that she never takes Reiko anywhere other than the Shibaura jidokan, which is a shame.



The Childrens' Hall was a bit shabby and grubby, to my surprise, given that it is located in one of the most salubrious neighbourhoods in Tokyo. Emily seemed happy enough though, so it goes on the list of indoor play-places for wet days. It is really close to the nice little park there too, so we can combine the two into an afternoon's entertainment.
