Tomorrow

Our copy of Annie the movie DVD arrived last week from Amazon Japan and eversince M insists on a daily dose of "eh-neeey." We don't let her watch the whole movie all the time, just a few minutes of her favorite parts. She's starting to sing along... "tomorrow tomorrow... ah yuv yah... ...morow... (silence) ...a-way..."

My secret wish? M grows up to audition for the Japanese version of the musical. She's already such a drama queen at 18 months old, she'll make a great (even funny) Annie.

Running around bottomless

Today daddy brought M to the west side of Tokyo. The drive was so long and the day so cold that M's diaper was stress-tested, and failed, when they got there. While daddy looked for a pair of new pants for M at the department store (we don't usually carry along a spare pair), M ran around the store bottomless. Daddy photographed this because he thougt it was funny. I hope the poor girl grows up with no recollection of this!

Bring on the cold!

Since our last post, M's por por has come to visit from Kuala Lumpur, we visited Shojiko (the smallest among the four lakes around Mt Fuji), the leaves have turned yellow and red, and M had caught and recovered from roseola.

We'll let the photos speak for themselves.

Por por brought a little souvenior from her recent trip to Beijing.


After watching mommy carry a bag wherever she goes, M decides it's cool to tote one too, and takes one off the shelf at Ito Yokado.


M and por por having Mt Fuji shaped cookies at the ryokan (traditional Japanese motel) at Shojiko.


The leaves change color... a sure sign of fall.
