This was the April wall decor at the daycare; by the stairs on the way to the second floor.

When Yui saw it, she said that “Bubu” (Japanese childish word for pig) is sad, her expression worried. She then looked up at the sky and waved at the (imaginary) balloon and was calling for it to come back.

Yes indeed; with Bubu looking up at the sky and only the elephant holding a balloon, it does seem that Bubu’s balloon floated up and away.

A big smile and warm feelings on Mommy. The imagination. The empathy.
