Niku Day: miso pork stir fry with steak tartar.

Minami and I are enjoying Niku Day with miso pork stir fry and steak tartar.

Keropi

What other Keropi items does she have? Her lunch bag is with her at school.

Picture from yesterday

This morning Minami was a little cranky today. Could be because I told her she could not take her dolphin doll to school. She was just about ready to cry when I left.

Late start

Minami did some crying in bed last night (probably because she was super tired from her Sunday playing and lack of noon sleep time). So I let her sleep in for about 1 hour this morning. She woke up in a good mood. Weather is cold today.

Colburn Symposium

2nd half of the symposium.

Parting words

I was able to get a final word in with Ms. Martin and thanked her for inviting me.

I keep missing a chance to say hi to Minami's Colburn music teacher.

Slumber party

Minami will stay at my parent's house while I go to the symposium tomorrow.

Minami at doctor

Minami got her flu shot and measles/mumps/rubella shot. She won't need to go back until after turning 3 years old. Her eye drained last night and is getting better.

LB Aquarium

From a few days ago.

Nijiya carts are more Minami's size but she has more fun in the big Costco carts.

Minami and I won this Domo doll on the claw game for $0.50, but Minami freaked & wouldn't go near it.

Eye bump

As you can see Minami's eye has a bump that's become increasingly white - filled with puss. I'm putting an egg on it as usual so I'm hoping it will go away. She's eating the new turkey sandwich from the Costco food court.

Day 2

Neko gohan and mango juice for breakfast. Her right eye has a little bump. Will put warm egg on it tonight. Doctor's appointment Friday.

Morning rush

Minami woke up to Lang Lang. Yogurt for breakfast. Went to school and older kids were very inviting, showing Minami what to do as the teacher changed the turtle's water.
