Emily and I went over to Odaiba with Jo, Isy and Cooper. It was really wet and miserable so we were confined to the mall. We chilled out in the large Starbucks first, while the girls went predictably crazy running up and down and disturbing the other customers, then we took them up to the little jidokan on the 4th floor where they played very happily for an hour. We finished off with a quick lunch at a cafe then parted company. I took Emily to Toys R Us and she managed to leave with several new things, including a model rubbish truck (ie dust cart) as she is obsessed with them at the moment. Returning on the Yurikamome light railway we were offered the front seats of the driverless train, so for the first time had an unobscured view of the tracks ahead. A pity it was raining and the carriage steamed up somewhat. Emily dropped off in the buggy on the way home and I managed to transfer her to her bed where she slept on for an hour, so this time it was back to the old routine and a later bedtime.
