9/21/12 - Julian’s First Milkshake: A reward after Dr

Julian was limping his left leg! We didn't know when or how that happened, but Juju is an active boy, he might hurt himself last night or in the morning?!! Mommy and Daddy took Juju to a doctor to check him out. The doctor said that Julian probably pulled his muscle, but it's not serious. He would stop limping by tomorrow.
Juju cried when the doctor examined him, but otherwise he waited quietly at waiting room, and was a good boy :) So, Julian had his 1st milkshake at In-n-out Burger after the doctor's appointment ! Of course, Juju loved the cold sweet delicious new drink very much!

ジュリアンのナニーからジュリアンが跛ひいてるような気がしますが、気がつきましたか?と連絡がありました。えっ?! いつ何処で起こったのか、まったく分かりませんが、とにかく病院に連絡!とはいっても、アメリカでは、なかなか電話して、即日診察してくれる病院やお医者さんはないのでたいへんです。ラッキーなことに、1件キャンセルがあったそうで、午後一番の予約がとれまし! (これ、ホントにラッキーなことなんです!)

多分、何かの拍子にちょっと筋を違えたようでが、明日にはよくなっていますよとのことで、一安心。診察中は大泣きのジュジュでしたが、とにかく頑張ったので、ご褒美は初ミルクシェーク! ジュースと違って、思いっきりすわないと、お口まで届かないよ〜。出来るかな?? ジュジュは、グ〜って一気でミルクシェーク、ゴクゴクです! ジュジュ、冷たくて甘〜いミルクジェークがとってもお気に召したご様子でした。

OMG! This is soooo good!!

Mommy, What is this? I had never had something like this before!!

This is my new favorite!
I love French fries too!

Juju wants to use spoon and fork! He can't use them well yet, but he loves using them anyways. Today, Juju is practicing spoon with his favorite strawberry Jello.
Juju needs a big spoon to scoop Jello, but it's too big for his mouth :)

Yes, I love Jello!

No, I don't share!

9/12/12 - Julian & Ringo's morning walk

Recently Mommy and Juju started walking Ringo in the morning before Julian's Nanny comes to pick up Juju. When Mommy says "SANPO" (= means "a walk" in Japanese), Juju goes to front door, and passes his shoes & Ringo's leash to Mommy.  That is like Juju is telling Mommy to help his shoes on, and put leash onto Ringo! Juju loves going out for a walk very much, and is getting better and better on walking everyday. Also, Ringo is definitely happy going walk every morning!!

最近、マミーとジュジュは、毎朝ジュジュのナニーがお迎えに来る前にリンゴを散歩に連れて行きます。マミーがジュジュに「散歩行く?」ってきくと、ジュジュは玄関に行って、自分の靴と、リンゴのリーシュをマミーに手渡します。早く靴を履かせて!リンゴにリーシュつけて!っと言わんばかりのジュジュです。ジュジュは、とにかくお散歩大好き。そして、日に日に上手にしっかり歩けるようになってきました。でも、一番幸せそうなのは、朝の散歩が復活したリンゴです。
Juju wants to hold Ringo's leash

"Mommy, I can do it" that Juju wants to say? but he just scream "AH!!" instead

Screaming "DADAAAH!!" this time... means "Come on Mommy, hurry up!"

This is he is saying "Okay, I am going fast! Ringo follow me!"

9/9/12 - Sunday cooking

Mommy prepares Julian's breakfast, lunch and snacks for a week on every Sunday evening. All freshly cooked food are packed into small containers and frozen to be ready to bring to Nanny's on Monday for the week. We have a wonderful Nanny who is very professional, and  knows very well about Julian. She coordinates menu from the food with considering  Julian's condition and mood at each meal. Cooking from scratch by using all organic ingredients every week with thinking of something Juju would like eating is kind a lot of work, but also a fun seeing series of food in freezer when everything is done.
Also, Dada being a dish boy is a nice help.

マミーは、毎週日曜日ジュリアンの1週間分のブレックファースト、ランチ、おやつを準備します。料理して小分けに冷凍して月曜日に1週間分をまとめてナニーに渡します。ジュジュのナニーは、とてもよく子供のことを理解したすばらしい人で、毎日のジュリアンの体調やご機嫌をみてその日のメニューを組み合わせてくれます。 マミーは、インスタント製品を使わず、全てオーガニックの食材を使って調理すると決めて頑張っていますが、ジュジュが好んで食べるメニューを考えながら、1週間分まとめて料理するのは、毎週日曜日の夕方の面倒な作業なんです。でも、料理を終えて、ずらっと冷凍室にならんだタッパウエアーを見るのはちょっとした達成感です。
料理音痴のダダは、皿洗い担当=これは嬉しいオマケです。

Julian the master of the big slide!

Juju and Mommy go to a play ground at an elementary school with Ringo in the weekday evenings. Juju likes playing at the play ground so much. Today, Dada, Mommy and Ringo went there together.

Julian climbed and slid the big slide on his own at first time today!! Yay!

At first, he tried to slide from head, it didn't work so well, and Dada had to run to catch Juju. But at 3rd time, finally Juju figured it out on his own! Now Juju can slide the big slide alone! He had so much fun there!

ジュジュとマミーは、リンゴを連れて、平日の夕方たいてい毎日近所の小学校までお散歩します。ジュジュは、三輪車に乗って(マミーに押してもらって)学校に行って、滑り台や、ジャングルジムで遊ぶのが大好き! とはいっても、小学生用の滑り台やブランコはジュジュにはまだちょと大きすぎるんですが.... でも、ジュジュは、ヘッチャラです!
今日はダダも一緒に行って暗くなるまでいっぱい遊びました。
毎日通った甲斐あって、今日ジュジュは初めて大っきい滑り台、ひとりで出来ました!
はじめの数回は頭からチャレンジして超危険!ダダにキャッチしてもらわなくちゃだったけど、3回目には見事成功!その後、一人で何回も何回も滑りました。ジュジュは、滑り台大好きです!


Awaaaaaa~!!!
Mommy! Follow me!

Yay! He did it!
