I met my uncle for the first time today! He is a teacher in Tokyo and came home for the summer break. He was very excited to meet me for the first time. He was very happy to see me and was instantly infatuated by me. At first he gave me my space, but kept watching me intently. Then little by little he would reach out to hold my hand and touch my cheek. He really admired how soft and smooth my skin was.
As he watched me, I was watching him. He looked somewhat familiar. He looked a little like Ojiisan. I was in a pretty good mood so we decided it was a good chance for him to carry me. His initial reaction: “Heavy!”
I was okay for a bit, but then I started to feel that something was off. This was not what I was used to. Uncle tried his best to keep me calm, but I was not comfortable with this change. So the result was inevitable.
There was nothing wrong with the way he was carrying me, it is just not what I’m used to. I like the way Mommy and Daddy carry me. The proof is in the smile.
Even though I wasn’t so in the best mood when he carried me, I did like having him around. I had fun meeting him. It’s nice to have another person who adores me.
It was really nice to finally meet my uncle, but I realize there are many more relatives who are eager to meet me too! I can’t wait!
