A Beautiful Good Friday

The weather is getting warmer here in Tokyo. Today was sunny but still abit coldish at 13degrees. But I decided to treat Gabe to a walk in the park behind our apartment coz he was a good boy sleeping 1.5hrs this morning.

So we started off with a trip to Wan Zu Zhi, a chinese japish restaurant outside our street for a dose of preserved egg tofu and fried noodles with cuttlefish...Gabe was a sweetie sitting in his stroller beside me watching me eat, till he made some noise indicating he wanted some as well....yes baby doesn't want his food, but wants mine...so i gave him a bit of the soup (egg n seaweed)...he liked it and kept making noise for more!! And i tasted it..yucks!! Geez, i made him nice sweet porridge n food, and here he is asking for more of this blah soup?????!!! Anyway he shared some of my tofu too, which he doesn''t really take at home..sighhh...

After lunch we went to the park. Many kids were playing there. And sakuras are in bloom!! Beautiful indeed. Walked around and after awhile sat on the bench to feed Gabe some cheese cake and orange juice...trying to teach him to suck using the straw so have to entice him, but orange juice doesn't seem to be working it's magic..i think coz it's very diluted so he knows somehow i'm cheating him...gotta find another drink...anyway, this honey bear cup i got online from TalkTools in US, supposed to help those with speech problems and weak mouth muscles. And good thing is i can control the fluid by pressing the bear's tummy to make the liquid come up...so i teach Gabe to associate straw with liquid...then he'll get it and learn to suck..which he did a few times i think by accident...

Anyway, i think as the weather here gets better, there'll be lots more walks..Mummy needs to slim down too anyway..

So i'll leave you guys with some pics of today....and a Happy Good Friday to everyone..
