Oh, The Places You’ll Go! 小学校5年

Posted on by

For almost two years, I’ve been having trouble posting photos on this blog. And then it got worse when things were moved to Jetpack. I could not even post at all.

This meant that I could not post our usual “first day of school” post last April.

But perhaps it’s all for the better. Because then, we could do it today. Yui’s first day at Juku (cram school), and with all the accompanying steps to more freedom (and responsibilities.

Do well my baby, and keep on working and walking towards your dream.

You did great today.

Life with a grade schooler: Catching the train

Posted on by

We had a long drive last night (we arrived at 2am!) hence I decided to commute for the day’s activities. That, plus we were hurrying not to be late for our choir practice and I wasn’t sure if parking will come easy.

One thing to note: we were all on time on all of our appointments. Except for catching the train. I was the only one who made it inside the train while Yui couldn’t get it despite trying to bar the door with her bag.

I made exaggerated mouth movements to tell her I’ll wait for her on the platform of our destination station. It seemed she has understood.

Was on tenterhooks waiting for Yui. When she did arrive she had a big smile on her face with laughter in her eyes.

We need to have more training for independence now.
