We went to visit Jiiji and Baaba today. Yesterday was Baaba’s birthday so we wanted to celebrate with her in person. When we got to their house I didn’t cry like I used to, but I was very shy. I buried my face into Daddy’s shoulder. He took me outside for a bit and I had fun looking at Jiiji and Baaba’s plants and climbing their steps. It gave me some time to get used to the house again.
We all headed out to lunch where we met Obachan and had a great meal together. Naturally I finished everything on my plate, even the French fries and fried shrimp that I wasn’t too fond of before. Now I like them a lot! Since I got the kids’ meal I also got to choose a toy. They didn’t have a car this time so I chose an airplane.
I wasn’t quite full after eating my my meal so I had some of Daddy’s chawanmushi. It was the first time I tried it. The texture was like tofu, but the flavor was very tasty! There was a lot of umami flavor!
After lunch we headed back to Jiiji and Baaba’s house. We talked, played, and ate more snacks. Jiiji and Baaba had fun watching me and interacting with me. Jiiji was really trying to connect with me but I was not being very friendly. I would shake my head when he asked me anything. I just need more time to get used to interacting with him. I had fun in the room and even explored a little into other rooms. Before I knew it it was time to go. Before we left we took some family photos. I think they turned out pretty good.
Then I gave Jiiji and Baaba a big hug goodbye and thanked them for their hospitality. I really had a great time there!
I think my visit was a great birthday gift for Baaba!
