Emily and I went to Stephanie's, out in the suburbs west of Shinjuku. It was an hour and a half each way, with several complicated train changes, so we could only stay less than two hours. Shinjuku is the busiest train station in the world, and we had to navigate our way across the whole place to get on the right line. There were several places where I had to carry Emily in the buggy. I was glad I went though, as she always makes the effort to come into town, and also it was the last chance to see Geraldine and Gaby before they leave Japan for Hertfordshire.
Emily kept getting upset and wanting hugs, though I wasn't sure why. When we visit other children's homes she is usually very confident and not at all clingy. She has just perfected the art of clambering up onto our sofa, and spent a lot of the time getting up onto theirs. A good climber needs to be as good at the descent as the climb up, but she hasn't quite mastered that yet, so there were a few bumps.
