屋根の上でジャンプ

愛理が目を覚ますと、外はもう明るくなっていました。カーテンを通して太陽が暑くなっているのがわかります。こんなお天気のいい日は、それだけでうれしくなります。

朝ご飯の時、アッパが「今日は何をしようか。」と言いました。愛理は「屋根の上で飛び跳ねよう！」と提案しました。食器を片付けて、愛理とアッパは倉庫から長いはしごを出してきて壁に立てました。そして、まずはアッパが登りました。次に、愛理、真綾、お母さんの順番で上に上がりました。
上から外を眺めると、近くの公園の森や遠くの川や空を飛ぶ飛行機が見えました。みんなで屋根に寝転んで、しばらく空を眺めていました。水色の空にはたくさんの雲が浮かんでいました。愛理はイチゴソフトクリームの雲を見つけました。お母さんはキリンの雲を見つけました。真綾は魚の雲を見つけました。そして、アッパはグラノラの雲を見つけました。雲は風が吹くと形を変えたり、方向を変えたりして、どんどん遠くへ行ってしまいました。なんだか楽しくなってきて、愛理はすっと立って屋根の上で飛び跳ねました。「ジャンプ、ジャンプ、ジャンプ！」アッパもお母さんも真綾も飛び跳ねて、誰が１番高く飛べるか競争しました。愛理は負けないように頑張って高く高く飛びました。すると、屋根に大きな穴が開いて、みんなドシーンと下の寝室に落ちてしまいました。布団の上に寝そべって穴から空を見上げると、丸く開いた穴から雲や鳥や飛行機が見えました。このままでも楽しいけれど、雨が降ると大変なので、アッパと愛理はもう１度はしごを昇って屋根を修理しました。これで、もう安心。

夕方、空は茜色に輝いて、赤とんぼも飛んでいました。愛理はこの橙色の空をあの丸い穴から見たかったな、もったいないことしたな、と、ちょっと残念に思いました。その夜、みんなは今日見た空の話をしながら、いい気持ちでぐっすり寝ました。

お空の散歩

寝る前に、日本語の勉強のためにも愛理とお話を作るようにしました。

秋晴れの空を見ていると、みんな、空が飛びたくなりました。そこで、愛理は泉にコインを投げて「みんなで空が飛べますように」と、お願いをしました。
次の朝、目を覚ますと、みんなの背中にきれいな羽が生えていました。アッパとお母さんの背中は真っ白、愛理と真綾の背中には虹色の羽が生えていました。
まず、アッパが本当に飛べるか試してみました。バサッ、バサッと羽を動かすとビューンと空高く飛びました。愛理と真綾とお母さんは手をつないでパタパタとゆっくりアッパのところまで飛びました。
アッパが「どこへ行こうか。」と尋ねました。愛理が「海に行きたいな！」と言ったので、みんなで空をお散歩しながら浜を探しました。しばらくすると、遠くの方に小さな島が見えました。ちょうどいい浜辺もあります。みんなはそこへ降りました。
砂遊びの大好きな愛理は砂のお城を作りました。アッパがたくさん砂を運んでくれたので大きなお城ができました。真綾とお母さんはお城を固めるのを手伝ってくれました。一生懸命お城を作っていたら少し暑くなったので、みんなで泳ぐことにしました。新しい羽も海につかっていい気持ちでした。そこにイルカが近づいてきたので、真綾は大喜びで一緒に跳ねたり飛んだりしました。
みんなが泳いでる間にお母さんが森で果物を集めてきていたので、それをおやつに食べました。風が吹いてきて、いい気持ちになったので、持ってきたハンモックでお昼寝をしました。

目を覚ますと、愛理は自分の布団の中でした。とってもわくわくする夢でした。

Airi talks

One day Airi told me that Pooh is saying that he wants a glass of milk. I gave it to her for him. Then I heard that she was saying "Oishi (this is good)." I wondered if it was for him or her.


I wash sheets and hang out our Futons outside because they are wet every morning. I can't tell if it's her sweat or pee. Fortunately it's been nice weather for a while, so we can sleep on cleaned Futons everyday.

Anyway, that's why I try not to give many bottles of water to Airi at night. The other night, I ignored that she said that she needs water. Then she woke up and said, "Wait a moment. Please wait. I will get it for you." It really sounded like me. She was going to the kitchen. But it was dark there, so she gave up and came back to sleep. She learns my words very well.

While I was cooking in the kitchen, Airi came and pulled my pants off. Then she put her face to my butt. I was surprised! Why can she smile there? How can she learn it? I guess that children can learn something from the other parent,too.


Airi and I had dinner. Then she said, "Time to clean." She brought a broom and cleaned under her table and chair. She said, "Let me clean under yours, too." She follows me with this part:D

The next day, I let her dry her butt after I cleaned. She was not wearing diaper. I heard "Huh!" quietly. I found a small puddle and brown thing on the floor.


I like her talk though she is quiet to strangers. It seems she doesn't realize that she speaks two languages. Both are just one language for her.


Airi cuts bananas for snack by herself. Then I was counting cherries for her. She counted with me from one to six in English.


She knows many English words, but conversations in Japanese.


She likes to do many things by herself such as putting on a shirt, a pair of pants, and so on. She enjoys practicing them everyday.


Airi also likes to do same things with her parents. She brings each of us our hats for a walk. She wears sandals just like us. When she takes off her pants, she helps her father to do it,too. I call them "a naked tribe."


Finally she calls me "oka-san." Before she didn't have any words for mother. Now I hear "oka-san" from far away to look for me. I like it very much:)


I sometimes give raisin bread to Airi. She is a miner like me. She gives me back a raisin bread without raisins.


The other day, she found an ant was carrying one raisin which she dropped off. She cheered him up with saying "Oy vey, oy vey."

Now Avram is in Australia. I enjoy my Japanese breakfast. Airi usually has Avram's breakfast, homemade granola. But she knew that J-breakfast is also good. Even fermented soybeans and sour plums. She finished mine all. I had just white rice.


After the breakfast, I had to give her a shower because of the slimy body from the soybeans. It looked like she was in a cobweb.


She made some friends at school. She likes to go there. I like that she learns many words there,too.


Every teacher says Airi talks well and enjoys music and dances.


It's very interesting to watch her growing up everyday. I will let you know more later.

19 months

Airi enjoys her school three times a week. She doesn't cry when I drop her off anymore. She smiles and says "see you" to me.

She plays with her pooh bear and Avram at home for a long time now. It gives me some time for house work and rest.

She is curious for many things. Especially words. The school helps to improve her speaking.

She has more motivation to talk and learns a lot of words in her life. Her teachers are surprised that Airi knows and says many words in English and Japanese.

We don't teach anything at home. We see many things with her or watch what she's interested in now. We enjoy talking with her and taking her out to show the world. When we say words, she follows them and learns very quickly. It's fun to see that she enjoys words and the world.

Airi wakes up at 6:30 with some farts (sometimes). She says hello to family pics and her pooh.

She eats her homemade granola with yogurt and lots of fruits. She is getting better with using a spoon these days. Then I chase with her to make her brush her teeth and to change her diaper. She enjoys running away from me. Every time she goes out, she chooses her shoes to wear. I leave her at the school around 9:00. She puts things away where they are supposed to be and washes and dries her hands by herself. She says "see you" to me and joins her friends.

She likes working such as cleaning or getting something that someone mentions better than playing with toys. It seems like that she enjoys the conversations. She enjoys understanding what people say. She likes to talk to people and makes more friends now.

She doesn't like that her hands get dirty. She cries when they play with glue or paint colors even though she can eat sticky things by hand. It doesn't make sense to me, but seems like that she thinks it's painful when her hands get those colors. She gets shocked from them.

She likes slides, seesaws, and rocking animals, but doesn't like swings in parks. She likes finding ants, riding Avram's bike, and wearing a rain coat and boots in a rainy day.

When we come home, she sometimes cuts bananas and has it for her snack. She helps me to wash dishes and get stuff from the fridge for cooking.

While I am cooking, she takes care of her pooh bear like her little brother, sister, or friend. She talks to him and shares things with him. I like it. We try to let her meet many people, especially children her age. She is happy with them.

After meals, she calls Appa Avram because she knows who lets her wash her hands, plays with her, gives a bath to her, reads books for her. The pooh joins them, too.

I am very happy that she enjoys being with other people. Now I don't have to carry her all the time everyday.

Airi and her Appa went to bed at 8:30. Time to rest for me. Party time!

Sento = Japanese Bathhouse

Last week was a little chilly and rainy. I came home from work and after an early dinner, I suggested we take Airi for her first trip to a local public bathhouse. We went to hot spring resorts last year, but have never had a chance to check out our local offerings.

We went down the hill and visited a little place on the side of the road. In typical local bathhouse style, the women went in one door and I went in the other. Once inside, we were separated by about 3 feet. Between us was the woman who worked there and who keeps an eye on everything. I paid for us and then found a locker. The woman working there has a great view of both sides of the sento and the wall separating the men and women was only about 7 feet tall. The roof of the place was high and allowed for lots of echos.

I found a locker and put my clothes in there, all the while answering "yes" as Airi shouted "Appa" from the other side. I went into the bath and washing area on the men's side and Airi and Rie went into the women's side. Airi kept calling me and I kept answering her, but it was hard to make out words because of all the tile that made the sounds bounce around.

I washed up and had a good soak, but the water was hot and I could hear Airi being cautious from the other side. After a nice soak, Rie and I shouted back and forth and agreed to head out.

I dried off and changed back into my clothes before meeting Rie and Airi outside for the short drive home in the rain.

We had a good time and I am looking forward to checking out the two other local Sentos in the area.

Grandpa Al

When I met Grandpa Al for the first time about five years ago, I was surprised that he was tall and big because many Japanese Grand parents are shorter or smaller than their children and Grand children. I was almost saying "Wow!" to him.
I heard that Grandpa corrected people's English, so I tried not to say "yeah" and tried to say "yes." He sometimes asked us to make sure what we meant "correct?" I like it. I would use it to Avram and Airi.
Avram and I skypped with Grandpa and Grandma Lillian on weekends, especially after his favorite teams' football games. We could imagine how he was like in front of the TV.
Grandpa sometimes read our blogs. His favorite one is this one. It's about that I farted in front of Avram and a bird got crushed by the gas. Avram liked that Grandpa picked the story.

Airi met Grandpa on January 24th, Monday. First she was nervous with him. But Grandpa talked to her and came down from a chair to Airi and sat on the floor with her. He showed sharing food with other people to Airi. Airi didn't get it at first, but after a while she gave her favorite fruits to Grandpa. I can imagine that he was a good teacher.

Avram, Airi, and I visited Lake Worth. We all wanted to spend time with Grandpa and Grandma as much as we can in this trip. It was for Avram and me, but more for Airi.
Airi was getting used to Fox family. She talked to Grandpa. Grandpa sometimes missed her communications to him, but Grandma said, "Al, Airi is talking to you" to Grandpa. Then Airi got his smiles.

At our last visit to Lake Worth for this winter, Airi was very comfortable with Grandpa and Grandma. She went to sleeping Grandpa and talked to him even though he didn't answer.
Airi liked Grandpa's toes. She touched his toes when she walked by him and tried to put his slippers on his feet, but always failed it. Then she made me do it.

On February 16th, Tuesday, Airi and Grandpa were talking and smiling to each other even though they didn't understand each other. They were sitting on rocking chairs next to each other and enjoying the time.

Next morning, Grandpa Al was very sick. Airi knew that Grandpa is not right. She was standing and watching him. I kept calling him "Grandpa, Grandpa!" Airi learned the word then. She also called him "Grandpa" a few times very clearly. It was her first time to say the word. Airi looked scared to see what's going on. She couldn't walk to him on the day.
Even if Airi is a 15 month old baby, she has sense with people's feeling. After a few days, she looked for Grandpa at their house when we visited Lake Worth. She went to Grandpa and Grandma's room, but couldn't find him.

We got nice pictures and videos from this winter. They were very good memories for us.
In Japan, we have pictures of our families on the wall. Airi has looked at them and waved her hand to them every morning since she is one year old.
The pictures and videos will remind us of Grandpa very well. Then Airi will never forget that she had a great time with him.

We Japanese say the person who passed away is alive in our minds. I am sure that he is in Airi's.
I will remember him everyday when Airi eats a lot of food. She follows him with that part very well.

Airi says ... ,

Airi says some English and Japanese words.

English : open, milk, pooh, apple,banana, shoe, and bird.

She learned some things for the U.S. such as blowing a kiss, high five, and sometimes hugging.

Japanese : まんま、じいじ、きれい、もう１回、行こう、靴下（くっ）

Bowing for before and after eating, bowing for greetings, bowing for please and thank you, opening her palms to ask open, showing her pointer finger to say one more time, cuddling to show she likes it, and so on.

Baby in a bathroom

Avram and I were talking while we were making Airi sleep for her nap. Then we heard water from somewhere. When we went to the bathroom, Airi was playing with water in the toilet.

She looked happy. We knew that it would happen sometime because her face was saying so, but so sooooooon.

When I go out with Airi without Avram or my friends, I sometimes take her to a bathroom with me. So she knows what people do there.

These days, she knows that I need toilet paper when I sit on the toilet. She is ready to give it to me when we go into the bathroom.

I always laugh because she sometimes sigh after I used the toilet. Sounds like she has done a hard work and is satisfied with it even though I worked then or she expresses my feelings after the work.

Anyway, she is used to washing her hands with soap because of that work, so she takes the soap first when I take her to a sink for washing her hands. She is good at it and likes it. I just hope that she is light to pick up so often.

Here at her great-grand parents' house, she goes to her great grandma, grandpa, uncle, and Avram to be held, so I sometimes rest. I like it and prefer she is used to other people and knows them.

Great Grand Parents

Airi is visiting her great grand parents.

She loves eating like her great grand father, Al. Great grandpa Al showed sharing food to Airi the other day though she is not good at it especially with her favorite food such as bananas.

This morning, Al was eating breakfast with bananas. Airi saw it and blew a kiss to him for the banana. Sweet great grandpa Al gave some of it to her. She danced for it.

Airi enjoys spending time with great grand mother, Lilian. Great grandma Lilian showed her a music box and matroishka doll. Airi enjoys dancing with the tune of the music box and opening the matroishka many times. They go for a walk together, too.
Airi is happy with them here everyday.

We're having a very precious time with them. Airi will feel their loves evertime she remembers them.

Airi at school

Airi went to a preschool in my home island Amamioshima.

Parents get notes about their children at school everyday. We hear how Airi was, such as how much and what she ate, how many times she pooped and how they were.

Airi's first day, Dec. 25th,

We left her there when she was playing with other kids. She cried a little bit when she realized that her parents are not there, but she was happy when she saw her food for their snack time.

In the note : Airi was happy until older boys started to run around her. Then she was surprised and cried. After that she was happy to listen to Christmas songs and played well. We went to see that people were making rice cake. She looked curious to see it.

The second day, Dec. 27th,

Airi loves to eat. She knows which room is for eating or playing. When she wants to be happy, she took her teacher to the eating room even if it was not a snack or lunch time.

In the note : After she ate snack, she started to play in the next room. But she missed the eating room, so she cried when I took her to the play room.

She loved a toy which we made with a plastic bottle. She was having fun, but she cried when boys ran around her.

The third day, Dec. 28th,

Airi usually likes people, so she goes to them by herself. But at the school, she needs to get used to especially older wild boys. It was a good opportunity for her. Other kids are sweet to Airi. They are also friendly to Avram and me, too.

In the note :

We were happy that it was a nice day for the last school day in this year. We played outside. Airi was interested in herself in a mirror or glass doors. She waved her hands to herself in the doors and took a walk by herself in the play ground. When she saw babies same as her age from other class, she bowed to them well.

The fourth day, Jan. 7th,

Airi caught a cold, but she was ready for going outside. I took her to the school late. They already finished the snack time. I knew it was not going to be good for Airi. She had not been at school for a while, so she didn't want to leave me in the morning.

In the note : She cried a lot today. Some babies were sick today, so they stayed and played with toys in the room even though older went to play outside. Airi had running nose and often coughed. We kept the room warm.

When I went to pick her up, the teacher told me that Airi brought her bag and jacket to the door and got ready for going home by herself after lunch time. She is smart. She knows what to do next and does it by herself.

The last day, Jan. 8th,

Avram and I wanted to send Airi to the school more, but couldn't because we had to go back to Yokohama. My mother came to take and pick her to the school on the day. She enjoyed watching Airi with other kids.

In the note : She cired a little bit when she realized that her mother is not there, but she stopped crying when she saw her snack. She clapped her hands when she saw it and ate. After she ate enough, she did "Gochisosama (Thank you for the food) by herself." She is always ready for going home after lunch. Today she brought her favorite soft Lego and put it into her bag and was waiting for her mother. She enjoyed especially music with fast rhythm.

Spending time with other people was very good for Airi. Now she talks more and says some words. We can tell she understands meaning of words and what is going on.

Everyday Airi makes Avram and me happy.

Airi speaks.

Airi loves Avram. She calls him Appa which means Daddy in Korean and Avram answers her.

"Appa." "Airi." "Appa." "Airi." "Appa." ... . They're like a boyfriend and girlfriend. Unfortunately Airi also calls me Appa, but Avram answers for me. We hope that she'll learn the difference eventually.

Airi speak some words these days such as banana, mannma (means food), attsui (hot), oishii (tastes good), and pooh (of course, which is Winnie the Pooh).

She points to what she wants now. For example she likes to turn on/off switches, so she points to them. She also likes tissues to clean her table, so she points to them too.

When I say "hamigaki (brush your teeth), then she shows the gesture and she does it with her toothbrush and wipes.

I ask her if she pooped. Then she pats her tummy. It means time to change her diaper.

The best things she does are giving a hug and blowing a kiss. It's very sweet. It attracts people more and melts them.

She learns many things everyday. It's very interesting to see and talk with her.

She loves outside and people, so I will take her out when she wakes up from her nap.

Amazing!

Airi turned one on November 2nd. Last three months, she grew up very much.

In 1o month, she started to walk.

In 11 month, she climbed stairs and pushed her stroller by herself.

When she turned one year old last week, she started doing more things.

First, she brought her changing diaper sheet when she made a gift.

Second, she knows the differences between songs that I sing, so she changes her dances for each songs.

Third, she plays music by her toy and dances on purpose. Music first and then dance.

Fourth, Airi likes that I point a doll's eyes, nose, and mouth. Airi smiles and touches hers.

Fifth, I showed how to hug. Now she does for Avram, me, and the doll.

Sixth, she blows people kisses. It attracts more people better than only smiling.

Seventh, she likes to talk. Sounds like she talks not only words but also sentences with grammar. I can see she understands what I say and does what I said.

Eighth, Airi brushes her teeth with her fingers when I say "let's brush your teeth." She shows me how to do it before I do it for her.

Ninth, Airi eats regular food with us now. Not baby food for people without teeth.

Tenth, she sometimes gets some words from videos or conversations and follows the words.

She's amazing. She grows well everyday:D

A floating gift

Airi doesn't like to sleep because she doesn't want to miss anything. She gets fussy only when she goes to bed.

She always has nice smiles for everyone. Even if it was a mannequin with out her head or no one in the room, she waves her hands with the smile. The smile attracts many people. They come to talk and touch her. I often think that I should bring a can to collect money.

Avram says, "We can tell people that they can pay us if they want to baby-sit for Airi." I can think about it now.

She follows words and actions when we teach them well, but I have never shown how to work in the bathroom. I wonder when she learns Japanese toilet style. (Look at Avram's profile picture of facebook.) She does it very well and it works very well.

Today I gave her a bath because she sweats a lot. She smells of people after gym. Also her sheets. Anyway she enjoyed the bath time and felt comfortable in the bath tub. I guess it was too good for her. I saw a floating gift in the water. I couldn't say anything from the shock, but I was happy because Airi was happy. I explained how it was like to Avram even though he said I don't have to do it. I want to share everything with him as parents:)

Airi and I are going out for a walk. She's done it, so I don't worry. Now she's ready for making people happy:)

Airi in Hawaii

We're in Hawaii. It's her first state in the U.S.

She attracts people with her smiles and attitude everywhere. Many people stop walking and say she's cute. Some people say "she's the queen," or "be careful of kidnapping."

Avram and I enjoy raising her. We care what she eats a little bit. I try not to give her too much sugar and salt, but she drinks sea water so much. She loves playing in water, especially in the ocean.

I play with her all day. I think that I take care of her very well, but she farts to my face while sleeping. She's someone's daughter. Sigh.

Airi is Airi everywhere.

24/7

Airi is almost 11 months old.

She follows me everywhere. Just like her father. I can't go even to the bathroom.

She walks now. I'm busy for following her all day everyday.

Fortunately and unfortunately she is curious about everything, so she never relaxes for eating and sleeping. She doesn't want to miss anything. She keeps moving to figure out everything.

Milk just makes her hyper. She never stops moving for exploring when she gets it. It reminds me of Avram in mountains or the world.

She has some talents now. I can't wait for showing them to people.

Miss Airi

Airi goes to a swimming class. There are only two people and a teacher there. Yes, only Airi and me:( It's a private lesson for two weeks.

Airi likes water, so I didn't worry about the class at all.

Life guards call Airi "Miss Airi."

At the beginning of the class, Miss Inna introduced three life guards and herself to Miss Airi and me. Then they showed some dances for fun and told us ten rules at the pool such as "Walk like turtles by the pool." They were smiling and nice to Miss Airi, but she was sometimes looking up at strings on a parasol.

They do this every class. I feel sorry for them, so I make Miss Airi dance with them. She pays more attention to them now. Sigh.

Airi is funny. When Inna says "kick your legs," then she just floats like a dead frog. When Inna says "float," then she kicks her legs. So Inna got Airi's signs.

Airi is getting used to Inna. Now she touches Inna's face and sometimes swims with Inna without me, though I am only one meter away.

Airi used to wipe her face when her face got wet, but now she doesn't do it so much. She can think what is next.

Now I can dip her into water. She doesn't scream and cry at all.

After swimming, Airi is full of water. I guess that's why she doesn't take milk much these days.

She eats food more than milk now.

Airi crawls, walks, and swims, so she's lighter and skinnier even though other people don't realize it.

The swim lesson makes her tired and take a nap well, so I got some time to write this.

I guess she's dreaming that she's swimming because she's kicking her legs with smiles.

What Airi likes is... .

Airi's favorite things are ... ,

1 People She likes to talk to people.

2 Play room She likes to play with other babies.

3 Swimming Even if she drinks some pool water, she still smiles and enjoys staying in the water.

4 Being outside She likes to look at everything.

5 Couches and walls She likes to hold them to walk.

6 Books She listens to us when we read books well and she knows some stories.

7. Songs She thinks that people are talking to her when we read or sing for her.

8 Staying in a carrier She likes to feel us in the carrier.

9 Toys She doesn't play with toys much. She eats every tag on toys.

10 Strollers She stays there for a while, but not a long time.

I am happy that she enjoys contacting with people. She is very happy then.

She is like Avram. She can't stop exploring the world. She always moves like a monkey.

Avram speaks and reads in English. I speak and read in Japanese. Airi says "appa (it means father in Korean where she was born,)" and "up" in English. No Japanese yet:(

She likes real things and real world, so always likes being outside to see or likes to touch real things. We like it!

Someday we will show many animals and insects to her. I hope Avram will show how to touch them, but not me. Especially reptiles.

Airi went to a play room.

Airi is usually happy with everyone. She smiles to people and makes them happy. She gives her pretty smile even to an orangutan doll at the library and talks to him. The orangutan and she both looked happy.

Airi is happy everywhere if Avram or I are in a same room. Then she is comfortable to play by herself or with other people. But she doesn't like when other people hold her except us. I sometimes take her to my midwife office. While talking to the midwife, a woman holds Airi. Airi is a happy baby, but she suddenly cries loud when the woman holds her. She cries and cries to call me and finally other babies there cry. It sounds like frog harmonies, but it's louder than that. Airi is usually calm and happy, so this is the hardest Airi you can see.

Anyway, Avram and I think we should let her play with other babies more, so I took her to a play room the other day.

There are two women staff there. Every parent can take their children and let them play. You can meet other babies and their parents. It costs $2.50 for a day. You can come and go anytime all day.

Airi looked curious when we got there except while I was writing the registration paper. When one of the staff held her, she started to cry and everyone in the room looked at us. After that I got her and left her in the room. Airi was happy:D

Airi likes other babies. She is interested in them. She always tries to touch them and other babies get nervous and cry. Airi doesn't care it at all, still likes to touch. She was happy there.

When she played by herself, she liked to stand by herself. She used a small jungle gym and stood up by herself and looked around. She loved it.

When she plays with a toy, she usually throws the toy and crawls to get it. She does it again and again. At the play room, she did it.

I didn't feed her there because it should be hard for me. Airi likes to eat food. She is a good eater, but milk... , she likes to sit, stand, and crawl while eating. She uses the whole room to eat milk. Avram and I were talking we should hide everything and put her in an empty room. Otherwise she wouldn't finish milk forever.

The parents in the play room were surprised at Airi because she gave beautiful smiles to them and enjoyed standing and sitting a lot.

Everyday we see Airi grows well. It's very nice for her parents.

She is a big girl, so she will go to get a shot today.

We're a good team.

Airi works for Avram and me well this morning.

Airi pooped while I was cooking. Avram was happy to work for it. He looked very proud of himself. I was proud that he changed himself so fast:D

If you have a right partner, you can be happy forever. Even though the man and his daughter pass gas when they wake up or turn over. They're like harmony.

Time to cook good food for my daughter.
