The cotton candy was unpopular with him.
I purchased cotton candy from a food stand for 100 cents. It had been many years since I last bought wata-ame (cotton candy). In fact, I cannot recall ever buying it with my own money. I did not purchase it for my own consumption, rather... -

One day at my son’s table
This is my son's table for eating. There are four dishes next to a bowl of rice that has sweet potatoes in it. The variety of items on the table seems plentiful, but my son does not eat everything. He avoids certain dishes completely. In... -

It is still difficult for a 2-year-old to understand the rules of the game (children’s dynamic vision is weak)
There was a shooting game at a kids' event, so I allowed my son Takeh to try it out. It was his very first time playing target shooting. Since he couldn't use a water gun properly, he didn't understand the purpose of the toy rifle.He use... -

He thanked me for cooking for him (but then he turned his palm back on me).
My son Takeh loves stewed food like curry and stew. If we do not help him eat, he will continue to eat stewed food. And there would be untouched rice on the table. Of course, it is difficult for him to eat rice without side dishes, so he... -

Children’s body shape changes rapidly as they grow up (something I’ve learned all too well after trying on the same clothes again a year later).
It's fun to check out the kids' clothes display at a store. In Japan, child clothing sizes are marked in centimeters like 60, 70, 80, and so on. I've been an adult for more than half of my life. I used to think that changing my clothing ... -

My son and I visited the "Eternal City of Rome" exhibit at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. The exhibit displayed many sculptures of people. Every time my son saw a face, he would ask, "Are you mad at me?" since he thought all sculptur... -

Don’t come here! and “Come here!”
There are different ways we play in the park with my son Takeh. The most popular one is called "Let's wait, wait, wait!" It's a game of tag. I either chase him or he chases me. When he chases me, he runs after me shouting "wolf!" I try t... -

He points to my skin and asks, “What color is this?” I am at a loss for an answer.
My son Takeh is showing interest in colors now. Maybe it's because he gets to draw more now that he's in daycare, but he talks about different colors than just blue, which he used to be interested in.Besides blue, he loves red and consta... -

My son is crazy about catnip because it’s autumn
My son, Take, goes to the park every day and pulls catnip weeds out of the ground. It is a weed commonly known as "nekojarashi," and its real name is "enokogusa,(means Angelica dahurica)" . It is a grain, and if it wanted to, the seeds c...
