2/8/12 - Midnight Anpanman

As Julian fell sleep early at 7:30pm tonight, we were hoping he would sleep through the night. ......Of course, he woke up at midnight, wanted to play and then fussed (>_<); Why can't you just go back to sleep, JuJu~? Aanyway, Mommy showed Julian's favorite Japanese video "Anpanman" and "Marumo" which usually worked pretty well for Juju that Julian stops crying when the music starts. We listened same songs over and over until Julian fell sleep again. Mommy is geting tired of these songs, but Julian still loves them so much.


今晩ジュジュは、7時過ぎにはうとうとしだし、とっても早寝さんだったのに、やっぱり夜中にムックリ起きだし、しばらく遊んで、そしてやっぱりグズグズ言い出した〜 (>_<);  ぐだぐだ言わず寝ればいいのに、そういうわけにはいかないジュジュ。仕方なく、こういう時はアンパンマンのビデオと、マルモのおきての主題歌です!
ジュジュはまだ話の筋が理解出来ないので、物語はすぐイラッとして怒りだします。でも、歌は大好き。音楽が始まるとピタって泣き止みます。そして、音楽が終わるとまた泣き出します。今晩はアンパンマンの始めの歌と終わりの歌を3回づつとマルモの歌を2回きいてやっと寝ました。マミーはアンパンマンもマルモも嫌いになりそうなくらい、最近はとってもアンパンマンなんです〜(T . T)

Oh oh~! Juju woke up (>_<)
Mommy, Let's play!
Juju~ Don't play with electrical cord
"Mommy! The flash was too bright that I was blinded :("
Picture without flash
Juju was playing with night light  

Finally getting sleepy again...zzz....It's almost 1:00am

2/5/12 - Julian's Museum Date with Sakura

Julian, Mommy, Sakura & Sakura's Mommy (Yoko-chan) went to Asian Art Museum to celebrate the Lunar New Year.  The students of the Chinese American International School was presenting Chinese classical music and dances. We enjoyed the Chinese music and dance. 
Sleepy Julian in car seat. He didn't know where we are going :)
Sakura was ready to have fun!


Beautiful Chinese Dance
Julian liked the music a lot. 
He was quietly listening to the music at first, 
and started loudly singing with it"Ah~ah~a~♪♪”
Julian watching the performance on Mommy's shoulder
Julian can't leave his eye off from the performance
The lion dance is an important part of every New Year celebration and is believed to scare away evil spirits and ensure a bright new begining
Lion Dance
Julian was little scared of dragon poppet from dragon tale
I'm not afraid of.......D..D..Dragon..n..nn (>_<);
Lunch at Hayes Valley


After the lunch, Sakura & Yoko-chan invited us to their place.
Julian was sleeping in the car seat again.
He was little grumpy after waking up from the nap....
Sakura wanted to give Julian a hug, but Julian didn't want it and cried :)
 I don't want to play! I want Mommy!! 
Julian was crying if Sakura touched him even a little bit :)


But after a while....
Sakura & Julian crawled together to discover something fun :)
OK! Now you an play together without crying :)
"Everything must be checked by mouth!" ....."That's funny!"

2/3/12 - Julian's First Setsubun

Today is Setubun in Japan. Setsubun ("seasonal division") is a festival held on February 3,
which is one day before the start of spring in Japanese Lunar Calendar.  Setsubun was accompanied by a special ritual to cleanse away all the evil of the former year and drive away disease-bringing evil spirit for the year to come. Also, people eat the number of beans, which corresponds to own age plus one to wish healthy long life. Julian and Mommy participated Setsubun Service at Buddhist Temple in Redwoody City. Julain had a lot of fun with many kids at temple.


今日は節分なのでレッドウッドシティーの仏教のお寺の豆まきに行ってきました。ジュリアンはお寺に集まった子供達に遊んでもらってとっても楽しく初めての節分をお祝いしました。





Julian was youngest on in the kids room
He wants to play with everybody in the room!
There are lots of toys Juju can enjoy :)
Hi, everybody, My name is Julian!
Temple is fun! :)

2/2/12 - Juju & Ringo

Tomorrow is Sestubun. So, we had Futomaki-sushi to wish health long life. Ringo was right next Juju as usual and waiting for to be fed by Juju.

明日は節分なので、今日の晩ご飯は太巻き寿司と豚汁です。ジュジュ用には、巻き寿司と豚汁の野菜を細かく切ったよ。縁起物だからしっかり食べてね、ジュジュ。(って、豚汁は節分には関係ないけどね。)もちろんリンゴは、ジュジュの隣にピッタリくっついて待機です。




OK, Ringo, I will give you when Mommy is not watching!

大丈夫、リンゴ。マミーが見てない時にあげるからね!
