Ojisan came to visit me today all the way from Tokyo. He had a morning flight and we met him at the airport and then we all went out to lunch. I’ve always played it stand-offish with Ojisan, often rejecting his gifts and pretending not notice him. But I’ve been warming up to him. It still took a little while to get comfortable, but in the middle of lunch I wandered over to sit next to him and we had fun talking and playing together.
I think it made him happy that I was friendlier this time. We had a fun teasing each other and being silly together.
When we got home there were times when I was a little sad because things weren’t going the way I wanted them to, but I recovered fairly quickly.
I was smiling again in no time.
It turns out that it was Ojisan’s birthday so we had a very toned-down birthday celebration. We didn’t sing Happy Birthday or anything, we just started eating some cake that Mommy picked up for everyone.
It was a very nice visit and I was happy to see Ojisan.
I can’t wait for his next visit!
