Tuesday, June 20 part 1

Tuesday, June 20 was a great day! Ian took a vacation day and we spent a rain-free family day together. Ian made us waffles for breakfast - yum! In the morning we went to Addison's play group, The Polar Bear Club, PB for short.

PB is made up of mostly two-year olds and their moms. We gather at the Jidoukan (Gee-dough-khan, which means "kid's place") in Ikebukuro. All of the moms speak English, but it's a very international group. There are American moms, Japanese moms, an Australian mom, and a Romanian mom. Many of the children have Japanese fathers. They are a nice group and we're getting to know them better. Addison is one of the youngest, but it's fun for her anyway. The children sing songs, hear a story or two, do a craft, and then dance in the gym.
