My first outing as a TMG coordinator-in-charge. Sounds grand, but actually I fancied going to Odaiba anyway, and there were only three others who decided to take up my invitation. Everyone managed to meet me on time, and they all enjoyed the boat ride across the bay to the reclaimed island.
It was a very sunny day; we set up a picnic mat under a tree looking out onto the water. There was not much to see as the air was very thick with humidity. Emily ate everything I had brought for her and some of my roll to boot. Though she'd been up since before 6am she was really energetic and didn't seem ready for sleep, running along the waterfront path and spinning round in circles excitedly.
Despite that I bundled her into the buggy and set off on a stroll to get her to nap. She yelled for five minutes then all went quiet. I got very sweaty walking in the heat and did my best to shade-hop as her legs were fully exposed to the strong rays.
We hooked up with the others, who had all gone their separate ways to try to get their little ones to sleep, back in the cool mall. Two of the babies hadn't had a nap and their mums decided to call it a day. I was left with Teo and his grandma, his mum Kara being tied up with work. We spent a fun hour in the small jidokan in the mall and then caught the last boat back to Shibaura.
