1/23/13 - Juju doesn't want to sleep

Juju doesn't want to sleep tonight! Mommy tried everything, rocking him, sing songs, read books, etc from 9:00pm but it's almost midnight now but he doesn't want to sleep or even refused staying in the bedroom :( He is crying and banging bed room door to go out ...
なぜか、ジュリアン全然寝ません。9時ごろから寝てもらおうと頑張ってるんですが、すでに3時間経過全く寝る気配なし。それどころか、ベッドルームから出たいらしく、ドアを開けろとせがんで大泣きです〜。

Here is the picture he's crying and showing me that he wants to get out. Actually the bed room light is off, so The picture was taken with flash in the completely dark room.
証拠写真撮ってブログ更新!っと暗闇で泣いてるジュジュをフラッシュ使ってiPhoneでパシャリ!



Juju was surprised by the bright flash light of the IPhone, and came back to bed.... still crying.
フラッシュがショックだったのか、ベッドに戻ってきたジュジュ。まだ泣いてます




But he fell asleep in a few minutes after that....!!! Amazing!!
I should take pictures of Juju with flash in the dark room when Juju starts crying and refusing to sleep next time! That may let him fall asleep ?!!
そして、あら不思議?! たった今、ことっと寝ちゃいました。今度から、ジュジュがグズって寝ない時は、iPhoneでフラッシュ使って暗闇で写真撮ることにしようかな?
(・ω・)ノ??


Anyway, nighty night!

Juju loves Anpanman bowl which Chi-chan got for him at Anpanman museum in Japan. So, as long as food is served into the Anpanman bowl, Juju comes to the dining table by himself, and eats well with saying "Anpan! Anpan!" That made our dinner time so much easier! We don't need to put our extra effort to force him to sit at table anymore!

アンパンマン丼のおかげで、ジュジュは、ちゃんとダイニングテーブルまで自らやってくるし、なんでもアンパンマン丼に入ってるものはモリモリ食べます!冬休みに日本に行く前は、ジュジュを椅子に座らせるだけで大仕事だったのに… 大違いです! アンパンマン様様です!


Dinner served into Anpanman bowl, the Juju is ready to eat!




 Yum Yum Yum!

1/12/13 - Julian's peaceful flight

Juju didn't cry at all in the airplane of the way back from Japan for 10 hour and half! The flight was delayed for 2 hours was a big help! Juju could play a lot with Grandpa in the airport, and also played at Kids play area at International Gate. http://www.kansai-airport.or.jp/en/service/child/index.html So, when we boarded into the airplane, Juju was already tired and ready to sleep. Juju stayed quietly at his seat and played IPad game unile the departure. Then, he had some milk, and watched Ampanman DVD. When he got tired of IPad and DVD, he drank milk again, and slept for over 5 hours. After he woke up, he watched Lilo and Stitch movie with wearing headphone!  He got several drink services from flight attendants during the flight, and also ate rice balls, omelet, cucumber and Anpanman potato fries which Mommy made in the morning at Grandma's and brought to the flight.

Remembering the flight to Japan which was a nightmare ...... Juju didn't want to stay at his seat, cried and screamed, walked in the aisles back and force so many times.....Juju showed amazing improvement after staying for 3 weeks in Japan.

The returning flight was unbelievably easy and peaceful for Mommy. As a matter of fact, Mommy could watch 2 movies from beginning to end without any distractions! Juju, You were well behaved! Mommy was proud of you!

ジュリアンは、日本から帰って来る10時間半の飛行機の中、全く泣きませんでした!! 飛行機の出発が2時間ほど遅れ、ジュジュは、飛行場の中をジイジイと散々散歩して廻り、そのあとは、 マミーとゲート近くの「KIX KIDS’ROOM」でも、散々遊びました! http://www.kansai-airport.or.jp/service/child/index.html

飛行機が出発する頃は、すでにジュジュのベッドタイム、いっぱい遊んだジュジュは飛行機で走り回る元気はなくなっていまったようでした。飛行機搭乗後は、離陸まで自分の席でおとなしくIPadゲームをして待ちました。離陸後すぐミルクを飲んで、アンパンマンDVDをみて、5時間以上熟睡です。ジュジュが、起きたときには、サンフランしスコまで残り3時間!ジュジュは、ヘッドフォンをつけて機内サービスの映画をみたり、IPadでゲームをしたり、全く愚図らずおとなしくシートに座って過ごしました。フライトアテンダントさんに林檎ジュースもサービスしてもらったし、マミーが作ってきたお弁当もしっかり食べたし、本当にいい子でした。

3週間前、日本に向かう時のジュジュとは大違いです。ジュジュは、日本行きの飛行機の中では、離陸前に既に大泣きし、ほんの少しの間IPadのゲームやアンパンマンのDVDのおかげでおとなしくしていましたが、長くはじっとシートに座っていられず、大泣きし、通路を走り回り、とってもたいへんだったのに。ジュジュは日本に居た3週間の間に驚くほどの成長を見せてくれました。着陸直前、寝てしまったジュジュを、抱っこしてたくさんの荷物を持って飛行機脱出は、ちょっと大変だったけど..... もうすぐ2歳のジュジュの成長ぶりにマミーはとっても鼻高々です。

1/3/13 - Big Bang

Juju had a great time at "Big-Bang"

大阪府立大型児童館ビッグバンに行ってきました。いろいろ回すものがあって、ジュジュは大喜び。ハンドルを回すとボールが移動する立体的おもちゃの仕組みを理解するのは、ジュジュにはまだちょっと無理だったけど、でもしっかりいっぱい遊んできました!
