We hadn't seen Bettina and Jo for two weeks, so were glad to escort them round the Institute for Nature Studies in Shirokanedai. Our little convoy of buggies and cute babies attracted the attention of the mainly elderly people walking round. No real sign of autumn, though the mix of trees there doesn't lend itself to vivid leaf colour.
Emily was very tired by the time we left there, and I'm afraid I gave her a breadstick to prevent her from falling asleep until we got to a cafe, as her eyes were starting to roll and her head to loll. All the parenting principles I set out with are gradually being eroded!
Isy has thrown down the gauntlet: she is seven weeks younger than Emily but already walking with assistance.
