life with a grade schooler: August

The drawing itself is childish. But it’s the story behind that’s touching.

8th. We left Japan for our vacation to Philippines.

13th. In your drawing, you had a tear to show you were sad that it’s time to leave our family in my hometown.

18th brought you happy tears because you’re back home.

22nd. The day your summer class met a real-life ninja and did some ninja moves yourselves. And how you nailed those moves, baby! You look a natural.
