New Backpac - Pikachu

Tetsushi's recovery from the operation is incrediblly fast. He's very active again, but until next Tuesday he's not allowed to attend the creche. So he has to stay with mummy all days - poor mummy! He's so agile as a kitten and she can't catch him...

He got a new backpac from Obachan. The character is Pikachu. He loves this bag, and carries it all the time even at home. We can put his nappy so it's very handy. This photo was taken at River Park where we can enjoy wathing many birds in big bird cages.

Now his English is pretty good, and when papa drives, he keeps saying, 'Papa! Be carefull, Another Car!'. He certainly enjoys driving.

Operation day: Inguinal Herniotomy ＋Scrotal Orchidopexy(鼠蹊ヘルニア切除と精巣固定手術)

Tekkun finally did his testicle's operation yesterday. We arrived at the hospital at 12:20pm and waited for few hours until 3:50pm he was taken to the theatre. He couldn't eat and drink anything from 7:30am, except little water until 11:30am. We had lunch while we were waiting.

However, Tekkun couldn't have anything. He played well by himself. He slept at 2:15pm for a nap. When the doctors took him to the theatre, he woke up. Papa went to the inside of the theatre with him. He cried a lot. Doctors put gas on him and about 30 seconds later he became drowsy and fell into sleep. Papa came out from the theatre and we waited at the wating room for about 50 mintues. He was crying when a dotor took him out from the theatre. He was shouting and crying for aobut 10 mintues. It was very hard to hold and control him. He was upset too much. He finally calm down when we gave him pieces of pineapple. He ate cooked mushroom and cookies as well. About 5:15pm, he slept again because his body needed recovering time. We waited until 6pm. The nurse did checking for him and made sure he was safe to go home. We came back home at nearly 7pm. It was a long day for all of us. He just sticked on Papa or Mama, and couldn't be alone. He could eat some dinner. We gave him pamol as well for pain relief. He woke up few times at that night. He can't go to creche this week. We will take him for one week checking next Monday.

good boy

Tekkun is a very good boy these days. He is quite obedient and likes singing so much. However, he still wakes up often almost every night and get up at about 6am in the early morning. None of us could sleep well. It makes us very exhauseted. The toilet training is still going on. He knows where the pee and poo comes from but he doesn't tell us after he made it.

He is going to have an operation for texcial next monday. Poor boy. We hope he won't have so much troubles after the operation and he can get well soon.

New trike （トーマスの三輪車）

Tetsushi got a new trike. Because he loves outdoor activities so much, it's essential for him to have something like this, but he cannot ride it on properly...



He needs more practice. Thomas the tank engine is still his favourite. He never release it even when he's playing outside.

Thomas the Tank Engine - Percy

Last week Tetsushi went to Toy World, and found a green train, a friend of Thomas, and he wanted to have that one, and he didn't want to leave the shop without it. We forced him to come home, and he cried too much. After he came home, he kept talking about the green train so we promised to buy that the following Saturday, and he learned a new word - 今度緑のトーマス買う（next time I will buy a green Thomas). So finally we bought PERCY.

Percy's Number is No.6. Tetsushi keeps talking about No.6 now. He always holds blue Thomas, and green Percy in his both hands, and playing alone for a long time. A new toy makes a good trick - he doesn't need us when he's got something new.

Also, now he has a trike - Thomas the tank engine designe. However, he can't really ride on it. We need to push the trike with the support bar attached to the back of it. But it's better than carrying him when we go to Raymond Park. He enjoys going out with his trike. We hope he becomes able to ride on it by himself very soon.

Shizuki's photo

Our baby girl's Name is 詩月(しづき）. Hasn't she got a high nose like Papa?

Baby girl is coming soon

My husband and I went to scanning (ultrasound) the baby together yesterday. The baby is growing very well. We did checking for the baby's brain, the spine, and the heart. The baby was very active and moved a lot at that time. At the end, we found out the gender of the baby----"GIRL". We are so happy to hear that, becasue we have had a boy already and Tetsushi will have a little sisiter to play with later. She is a very active and powerful baby girl so far.

Good boy

Tetsushi is a very good boy since he is recovered from his sickness. He doesn't shout and cry too much when we clean up his face and change his clothes. He likes hearing "you are a very good boy" very much and becomes so happy. He also likes singing and he sings all the time by himself. His song is making sensence. His appetite comes back as well. He is getting mature now.

It's September - Spring???

It was warmer in the last few days, but it got colder again today. I guess spring is near, but it has not fully arrived here.

We got a parcel from Obachan, in which there are lots of treasures. Tetsushi got a new DVD (Japanese fairy tales) and puzzle cards (if you join two cards, it becomes an animal). The photo shows how he plays with it - click the photo to enlarge it. Elephant is his favourite. he's holding it in his hand.
