Strawberry Kiss! - 19 Months

You are almost 20 months old. But still you don't speak any Japanese or English.
We went to some early intervention counseling to check about you.
They told us you can't do something that you should already be doing.

It made me sad..well not sad, but I don't know how to say...some negative feeling.

I felt that I'm not being good. I'm not a good mama, like other people are. I know I shouldn't feel like this and it is not 100% my fault. But when I see other kids who are younger than you do something you can't do yet, I feel sad.

On Saturday,  We went shopping downtown. After shopping, we tried some new spot to have a couple of beers.Your body is big. So you always get the kids menu. That day also they gave us a kids menu for you Usual you don't draw with the crayons, even if we try to teach. You just pick the crayons up and put them on the table one by one. Or try to eat them.

But that day you did it! You even drew on the table. But we were really happy.

I don't know about your papa. But I'm a painter (kind of) so that moment was a super big thing for me. I was really really happy.

You used red, blue, and yellow crayons and drew the line and knocked the crayons on the paper to make the dot.

The next afternoon, we went to Lucky Lab to meet Joe. You had your early dinner and started eating strawberries as usual. Suddenly I though to ask you to give me some.

You love strawberries. So usually you don't give us any. But that day you gave me! You were not full yet. But you kept giving me until I said enough and gave you back it.
Thank you Genki. I could eat 4 strawberries. (but you didn't give papa any strawberries!)



When I see like this, I feel like "Fuck off. I don't care whatever others says. My baby is growing well and healthy. He is always friendly. He is the sweetest kid in the world."
