DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-NINE

Happy Anniversary to us!!! Taro, Joshua and I spent the afternoon in Richmond enjoying the beautiful weather. After Joshua went to bed, Simon came over to babysit and Taro took me out to a many courses meal at the Hotel where we spent our first night as a newly-wed couple. It was all pretty amazing.

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-EIGHT

Erhm, I have been letting Joshua run around mostly in underwear, but on occasions he ends up with nothing on to cover his dignity. This is my first step towards potty training. Not sure if anyone else would approve but I'm OK with it so far.

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SEVEN

We went to the library this afternoon to get Joshua some bedtime books. I also got some books on gardening which hopefully will help with my tomato growing. The weather was so nice that Joshua helped me fill the pool when we got back. He then proceeded to jump in before I had the chance to change his clothes!

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX

Joshua's hair has been growing in a funny way ever since the last haircut (or hair butchering). It gets messy easily and just looks funny. I must get him a real haircut next time.

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FIVE

John stayed over last night, so this morning we all went to the playground together. He left after lunch and Joshua and I had fun outside painting.

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOUR

Johnny came around today as he hadn't been here in a while. It took the kids only 2secs to recognize him and then wouldn't leave their uncle alone. Joshua was dancing away to his uncle playing the guitar and trying to get Sophie to join in.

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-THREE

Happy Father's Day!!! It's Father's Day in the UK! Taro got a card that Joshua painted himself earlier in the week, which I personally think looks great. Later on we went shopping and Joshua bought his daddy the movie Big, and a cake for afternoon tea! It was a lovely day.
