The Fuji Updates Part 3

Fujiro was an attention-catcher at the Sunday gathering. He insisted on walking by himself—to the pleasant surprise of the family. Although he pooped twice and wet himself by playing with the running water, he acted like a toddler, playing with the older kids and exploring toys and the grounds. I was glad to have been guiding and carrying Fujiro whenever he wanted to toddle around by himself—it gave the wifey enough time to eat and relax with our nephews and niece. I was a Superdad, but an exhausted one come bedtime.

FUJI Birthday Updates

The invitations that wifey and I made were a great success, the approval and amusement of the recipients were very evident when they first see the top sheet—it was a smart replica of a movie premiere ticket, complete with a blurb, and the venues and godparents’ names as the movie credits. One godparent remarked that he thought the next sheets of the invitations were elegant, not those frou-frou rainbow-colored and cartoon character-decked ones that make the characters cuter than the baby itself.

The Weekenders Part 2

Another non-commercial weekend for the family. It was mostly spent with the Playstation, though, for us boys, to the annoyance of the only girl—Mom. Fujiro liked joining us, too, insisting on holding a controller upside down by himself, and throwing a very successful tantrum when pulled away by Mom again.

Scott is a quick-learner when it comes to video games. I was proud that I only taught him once and he quickly caught up to a small margin to my usual scores.

Yaya had some exercise buying beverages and ice cream at the nearby stores for us.
