It's Matsuri Time (お祭り)
Well, it's matsuri time. Everyone just gets so excited wearing the traditional Japanese Yukata and joined the festival. Since we live in downtown area, they have one of the biggest festival and during this time, every once in a while, we can hear people shouting while earnestly carrying the mikoshi. Riki was so excited to be dressed up. I think next year he will be able to join the other kids to pull the dashi. What we enjoy the most is to receive many snacks and drinks from the festival for free. :)

April 2008 Highlights
April is really a busy month for me. Mommy has started to put me in a temporary day care while she's taking care of many things before our trip to Indonesia this June. It has been really difficult for mommy to do things with me while she's pregnant, and fortunately the ward office has the temporary day care service where I am allowed to use the facility for at least 12x a month with a really reasonable price. I really enjoyed spending time in day care, meeting new friends and playing with lots of new toys. There are 2 day care which I visited this month: Asakusabashi Day care and Sakamoto Day care. The Asakusabashi day care is a bit far from our house, and we needed to take the bus to go there. However, for Sakamoto Day care, it's around 20 min. walk from our place. It's a good exercise for mom too...:). Daddy and mommy also brought me to Ueno zoo in April. We were having a lot of fun, especially the place where animals such as sheeps, goats, hens are not placed in cage, and the kids are free to play and touch the animals. I was pretty daring and chasing the animals around while trying to touch them. Daddy were kept busy to look after me to make sure that those animals don't get angry to me. Mom also celebrated her 34th birthday this month, and dad has given her a surprise by sending her a bouquet of flowers thru delivery. We had dinner at a restaurant near our place, and I tried to be a good boy while dad n mom were enjoying the dinner. Happy Birthday mommy, and thank you always for taking good care of me. Luv, Riki
