Sorting through loose papers full of Yui’s sketches. Saw this and thought it’s really nice.

Yui’s cartoon strips: Uchi Mo
I had a drinking party today with mommies of Yui’s batch at daycare. It was all in Japanese but I had great fun. Of course we shared our kids’ woes and fun experiences with their new life at grade school.
I got home and saw this on the table. I laughed at “Uchi mo”. It literally means “me too”, which was exactly what happened a lot of times, this evening.
Yui’s cartoon strips: your bridal entourage
This invokes a number of emotions.
Your flower girl is Little Nugget whose gender we still don’t know as Nugget is still four months in gestation.
Essentially you’re only six years older so Nugget should be more like the Maid of Honour, not flower girl.
Yui’s tales: The Cat Who was Once a Prince
After a long afternoon walk, we chanced upon a nice homey cafe/ bar that was like a haven for Yui; they have a dog, a cat, and a tank full of fish.
It was a cozy place to rest after a breezy cold walk but for Yui, it was so much more than just a cozy place.
After some time, the dog had to take a walk and she was left to petting the cat and having a staring contest with it.
Then she told me a secret.
Mommy, the Cat was once a Prince, a long time ago. He battled with a dragon but he died. He then became a cat.
Yui’s cartoon strips: the one with the confused dinosaur
This is not one of your best drawings but still I’m posting it as this is one of your funny strips.
Yes, you don’t just draw. You always seem to have a story with it.
Here is a T-Rex, that can only say “ん？”, speechless as he was with the scene at hand; wherein he is being checked by a velociraptor doctor who is being called “mama” by a triceratops.
Yui’s cartoon strips: exasperated lion
You were writing a letter to one of our kid friends and you told me you wanted to draw an exasperated lion on one of the letters; one of your previous letters got lost in the mail and you wanted to express your exasperation. My imagination could not procure an image of an exasperated lion and hence I discouraged you from drawing it as it was difficult. You insisted. Knowing the state of determination you’re in, I said go ahead and left you to look for stickers to seal your letters. Less than three minutes after, you called me. And was speechless to see your exasperated lion, my wonderful daughter.
