Half a century later, my children read the books I read

Takeh, my son, caught in the net of “Shimajiro”

Banzai to the fountain

I wonder how much emotion there is in seeing cherry blossoms in a 2-year-old child.

Walking the “health trail” even though he is 2 years old

You have your own chair, so please stop asking your mom to carry you
At mealtime, Takeh, my son, tries to sit on his mother's lap. He wants to eat on his mother's lap. Since we just bought a new child's chair, we want him to sit in his own chair. Eating on an adult's lap is bad for his posture and causes ...
