Visitors on Sunday

On sunday morning, one of my oldfriends visited us and we had lunch together.
Simon likes having a guest at home and he often pretend to be shy at first, though it seems he just wants to get attention.
 
日曜日―高校時代の友達の里誉が遊びに来てくれました★
お客さんが来ると大喜びの志門・・・最初は恥ずかしいふりをして部屋の隅で壁の方を向いてフリーズ。
里誉に「かわいい」と言ってもらえると「計算通り♪」という感じで壁におでこを付けながらにんまり笑っていました(笑)
 
 
 




 
After taking a nap, Simon played with trains with Meiko.
I was planning to visit her place but she visited us instead as Simon got a cold.
 
お昼寝の後はおばあちゃんと電車遊び。
実家に連れて行くつもりだったものの、志門が風邪をひいてしまったので代わりに来てもらいました。


 
 

 
 
Shinkansen says ' Thank  you for taking Shinansen train. This train is bount for Tokyo' etc.
but it sometimes says 'Thank you for using plarail (name of this toy)' and Simon likes it a lot.

Simon in Tokyo

Simon was missing Toshio and Asako a lot. So I took Simon to Tokyo this weekend.
 
 
Simon using toothpick like Toshio
俊夫おじさんの真似をして爪楊枝を使う志門
 

 
Metro musium

 
 
 
Simon  wanted to stay with Asako and Toshio longer and run around in Tokyo station.
So we stayed one night longer at Asako's place.
 
大阪へ帰ろうと東京駅へ来たものの、朝子おばあちゃんの家が楽しすぎて「新幹線乗らない!電車乗らない!」と逃げ回る志門。
結局もう1泊させてもらうことになりました。
 
 


 


 
 


 走り回って疲れ、寝ている間に新幹線に乗車・・・
起きた時にはかなりがっかりしたようで、何を話しても10分ほど無視され、退屈そうに再び寝入りました。その後は「また東京に行きたい」と言い続ける志門でした(^^;)
 
Simon got tired by running around in parks and felt asleep in the afternoon.
We left Tokyo while Simon was sleeping.
 
When he got awake again in Shinkansen, he got disapointted, didn't speak anything for 10 min, and felt asleep again.
After that, he requested me to go back to Tokyo again many timees.

住吉大社 Sumiyoshi Taisha

Today was the last day of winter holidays for us.
I really feels holiday time flies.
 
We went to Sumiyoshi Shrine as we thought we should do something cultural and traditional for New Years holiday.
 
休みはあっという間にすぎるもので、今日は冬休み最終日・・・(´Д`|||)
どよーんとした気持ちを振り払うためにも何かしら正月休みらしいことをしようと思い住吉大社にお参りしました。
 
 
 

 

 
 
Luch money

 
 
I bought an amlet for Simon and Bjoern.

New years day

 
 
 
Otoso
 
a special liquer made by steeping herbs in sake to drive away evil and revive the soul
 
 
 
 
Salted herring roe

 
 
Simmered black soy beans

 
Candied dried sardines

 
 
Osechi-ryori
 
Osechi-ryori are pecially-prepared New Year's dishes to be eaten during the first three days of January. Most dishes are cooked in order to be preserved for at least three days so women don't have to cook during that period. Various kinds of dishes are set in four-tiered lacquer boxes.
 
Each of the dishes has some auspicious meaning which reflects people's wishes.
For example, Kazunoko, herring roe, represents fertility, Kuromame, cooked black beans, are for health (mame means healthy), and lobsters are for longevity because their bodies are bent like an old man's.

 
 

 
After eating and drinking a lot..

Christmas event at the nursery

On 22nd, Simon and I went to a Christmas event at the nursery
22日の日曜、志門と私は保育園のクリスマス発表会に行きました。
 
Many kids didn't stop crying and it started 20 min. later than the original plan.
9:15にスタートするはずが、子ども達が泣き止まないので20分遅れでスタート・・・
 
 
0歳児 0 year old
 
 
 1歳児 1 year old

 
2歳児 2 years old
 
Simon was confirming where I was
お母さんがちゃんといることを確認して納得した様子の志門


 
 

 
 





 

 
 
The Story of the Three Little Pigs (30 little pigs?)
3匹の子豚 (30匹の子豚?)

 
Some kids escaped to stay with their parents.
お母さんと一緒に居たくて脱走する子どもも多数(笑) 

 
 


 


 

 



 
 
 

 
 Santa Claus said he came from Finland but he bowed quite naturaly:)
かなり自然にお辞儀をするフィンランドから来たというサンタさん(笑)
 
 
 
Train timetable was more attractive for Simon.
サンタさんよりも東京メトロ時刻表に夢中の志門・・・



10 min later, a nurse recommended us to take a photo with the Santa Caus.
「志門君はサンタさんと写真を撮ってないけど・・・」と後ほど先生が声をかけてくれました。

Good morning song

Kotori mo ti ti to utatte imasu ohayo ohayo
(Birds are singing 'ti ti'. good morning , good morning)






Modern transportation museum

On Saturday, we went to Modern transportation museum in Osaka.
We were planning to go there from few months ago and finally we got a chance and energy to make it today.
 
 
土曜日、弁天町にある交通科学博物館に行きました★
前々から計画はしていたものの、時間がなかったり体調が悪かったりして先送りになっていて、今日ようやく連れて行くことができました。。。
 
 
 
 
 
 
a silly fashion
アホっぽい格好の志門・・・
 

 

 
 Driving a miniature train in front of us with navigation.
目の前にミニチュアの電車とジオラマがあって、ミニチュアの電車ついたカメラからの映像を見ながら運転♪
 
 

 
 
 
We were hungry and we didn't want to wait for long time for popular attractions.
So we lead Simon to this Sinkansen. This is just a simple chair but Simon liked this as well.

おなかも空いてきて、並ぶのが面倒になってきたので、とりあえずこれで満足してもらいました(^^;) 運転はできないけど・・・。
