24 January 2011

Tracy and the children are leaving Japan on Thursday, so I'd asked them over for a final playdate and lunch. The girls played quite well alongside each other, and 13-month Rudy pointed at numerous objects and repeatedly said 'this' again and again. I wonder how long it will be before we see them again?

After they had left we rushed over to Hamamatsucho as I'd agreed to meet Steph and a new coordinator there to do some TMG paperwork. That didn't last long, so Emily and I played a while in the jidokan afterwards before walking home, encompassing a short play in Shiba Koen. I noticed another classic bit of Japlish while in the playroom: a pair of tiny kids shoes with a logo saying 'naive naughty nakedness'! What the ****???

After her bath, Emily wrote several recognisable letter 'M's in the steam on the mirror, and seemed so pleased with herself that I am hopeful she will manage her whole name very soon.
