weekend fun
Spent all day Saturday in the dojo with Yamada-sensei.
Sunday the kids rode bikes out and about, played at the park, had an awesome lunch at Luigi's, and then met up with Cheapy Family for some more fun and then a meat-fest for dinner!
This morning Mighty Mo woke up early with me as the ladies slept.
Mo looks up at me and goes "Poo-poo! Toilet!" so we head to the toilet where he executes like a champ and demands Big Boy Pants afterwards, not a diaper.
Then he sits down at the laptop and watches youtube vids for a while.
Suddenly he turns around and goes "Tummy...hurts..." and pukes on the carpet.
Then turns around to watch videos again.
At least he had the sense to not puke on the laptop!

Got stepped on. Broken? Or just purple and swollen?
daddy's day
Crappy weather for most of the weekend; rainy and humid. But the rain cleared up enough that could do some practice bike-riding. Ton is getting slightly better on her new Mighty Steed, and Mo is unstoppable (literally) on Ton's old / his new red training-wheel machine.
Rode all over the neighborhood, me running around trying to keep up with her and simultaneously keep him out of traffic.
Ended up having cupcakes for lunch, then I got to hit the barber shop for some much-needed shaving.
Mo finally crashed out in the stroller and Ton made me take her to the bookstore so that she could buy me a surprise father's day card. I had to promise not to tell, too.
Then she made me write on it "Happy Daddy's Day" and she wrote "To Papa" and signed it.
Of course, it's now the day after Father's Day and I am yet to actually receive the card...whenever I receive it will certainly be a surprise!

I am not the kind of person to talk endlessly about something without taking action (though I am the kind of person to talk endlessly in general, but I digress...)
My dad taught me, when I was a wee little thing: "Anything worth complaining about is worth doing something about."
The corollary is: shut up if you aren't willing to try and fix it.
Ton-chan started at a new Kindergarten this week. Mo-kun had his 3-year health check up today.
So since my wife had to take Mo to his check-up, I had to pick up Ton at 2pm when school ended. The plan was to take her to the health center so that mom could then take both kids home.
As I am wont to do, I changed the plan. Instead, father and daughter got in a taxi and came back to the office. After getting sorted with a sufficiently sugary beverage from Starbucks, I brought her up to the office, walked her down the trading floor, introduced her to the folks in the general vicinity, and sat her down at the empty desk next to me.
She was given an ample supply of colored markers and I printed a couple of black-and-white pictures of her current favorite anime characters to color.
She got to work immediately, and I caught up on emails then ran to a meeting.
After about an hour, mom called and we all met downstairs, son happily sleeping in the stroller. Handed off Ton with a hug and a kiss, and that was that.
