We had another great playgroup with our Japanese friends today... and even though they all live on the Upper West Side they came all the way to our home in Sunnyside:-) Thanks again guys! So I made Chirashi Zushi which I've been wanting to make for a long time but had nobody to make it for! Chirashi Zushi is a bed of Sushi rice mixed with vegetables and on top we put toppings like thinly sliced egg sheets, Salmon Roe, Seaweed, Sesame, Snap Peas, Steamed Shrimp, Denpu(Pink Flaked Sweet Fish Stuff), etc... SO nice to have Japanese friends who can appreciate those Japanese dishes...
Most of you already know this, but all the babies are really close in age so they just sat around and had a great time playing with Madison's toys and she was really good at sharing... except occasionally she decided to take back some of them though... Conrad tried out the Jumper which is becoming Madison's not so favorite toy so glad someone enjoyed it... Masaki-kun(11 months) is also going through the not liking the jumper stage, but he seemed to really like to play with toys from outside... He even took his first steps(according to his mom) to Dave!!! I really felt bad that his dad didn't get to see it, but it was really exciting to see for us..:-) Maybe Akiko-san won't tell her husband he did it...
セクシーなコンラッド君...
Sexy Conrad-kun...
グループ写真を撮ろうとしたけど...いまいち、誰か良い写真撮れた人いる!?
Attempting to sneak in a group shot... not too successful, maybe someone else got a better picture!?
２時半ごろかな？いきなり赤ちゃん４人眠そうになったからマディソンはクリブでお昼寝を初めて、セフィちゃんとコンラッド君は交代でベッドの上でちょっと休む事が出来ました...またいろいろとお互いの事を知り合う事が出来た私は大満足です...：）もう次ぎに会う予定もさっそく決めちゃいました。At around 2:30 all the babies seemed to hit the nap time sleepiness so Madison hit her crib and Sephi was able to use our bed to take a quick nap and switched with Conrad... Moms got to share and got to know each other more which is great and already made a plan for next playgroup...:-)
もう少しで忘れる所だった好奇心旺盛マディソンのした事と言えば...水の入ったコップを低いテーブルの上に置いて行った私がいけないんだけど、見てないと思って目を離した隙にそのコップをサトコさんのバッグの中に空けてしまってさあ大変!大慌てで中に入っていたカメラ、アイフォン、お財布などなど水たまりのバッグから出したりとタオルを取りに行って走り回っていたんだけど本人のサトコさんは心配してないみたい...カメラとケータイはちゃんと使えそうでホッと安心の一息!でも本当に目が離せない私に似たオテンバっ子：）
Oh I almost forgot what our trouble maker did today... I set two glasses of water on a table where Madison can reach and walked away thinking she didn't see that I did that, but she did so I came back and saw that she had dumped the water into Satoko-san's bag that was on the floor! Her camera, Iphone, wallets, etc were all soaked sitting in a pool of water!!! I freaked out and was running around to get a towel and to dump the water into the sink worrying that they were all ruined while Satoko-san acted like she wasn't worried at all... and her camera and Iphone still worked, thank goodness! But that little crazy girl is one to watch because she will surprise you:-)
最初はマディソンと２人で見学してたんだけど...
First Madison and I were just gonna watch but then...
やっぱりオムツ替えパーティーに加わる事に!お互いの状況を見合っているマサキ君意外の３人：）Decided to join the party! Everyone is checking out someone else except Masaki-kun:-)
いつも通りあっという間に家に返る時間が来てしまいました...またすぐ会えるのを楽しみにしていま〜す！Too soon it was time for everyone to head back to UWS homes...Looking forward to seeing you guys soon!
How nice that all your friends traveled to your home this time. I'm sure they all enjoyed the dish you prepared. The episode with Madison and the cup of water reminded me of one of my Mother's bits of advice "Don't take your eyes off them for a second". Those little ones sure notice everything and move very quickly,too!Glad the electronics weren't harmed.
