15 March 2009

A very bright day, and warm in the sunshine. Before her nap we took Emily up the hill to the park and playground. She din't go anywhere near the toilet block this time!
As soon as she'd napped we whisked her off to Shibaura to catch the boat across to Odaiba. She had a finger food lunch in her buggy while we waited to leave the pier. The plan had been for Nick to go and try out the onsen resort there while I played with Emily, but as it was such a glorious day we decided that would be a waste, and also he wouldn't get to see much of her, so instead we strolled along the waterfront park as far as the pirate playboat.
I gritted my teeth and sent Emily down the long, steep slide to Nick's waiting hands. She loved it, of course. I can't wait until we can climb around on things together; hopefully she will appreciate having a tomboy for a mother! At the cafe afterwards we tried her out in her new take-along seat harness, which seemed very good. There are so few eateries in Japan with secure seats for children.
