October Cacth Up

We`ve been busy. Busy recovering from coughs, flu and fever. Yes, it`s going round and round our household, mostly starting and ending with Lucas. The boy, sigh, well let`s just say his immune system is really not too strong. And recently, he was diagnosed with Asthmatic Bronchitis. It all started with the cough which didn`t go away for 2.5 months. I had already brought him to our local ped a few times, but each time the doc would say it`s Ok, no congestion, until i just had it one day and headed to his birth hospital, Sanno. There the doctor immediately told me his diagnosis and Lucas had to use the nebuliser. Needless to say i was relieved that finally someone could tell me what was wrong. So i ended up buying the nebuliser and good thing coz few weeks later he had a bad cough again and needed it.

No idea what triggers this, but it could be an allergy, so I`m waiting till end week to see if he gets better, else we`ll have to do an allergy test.

But other than that, we`re all dandy here, the weather is superb now. The boys are having fun in school. Lucas is thriving there and seems to enjoy all the activities. Oh, he can say many words now, some well pronounced, some well, only i can understand.

Words Lucas can say:
Mo More = No More
More
Moo Moo (refers to his precious beheaded, turning black and disintegrating Moo Moo pillow) aka best friend
Four (he loves this number, i dunno why)
Five
Nine
Mine
Niiiii = Nice
Bye Bye
Dad Dad
Kor Kor
Ball
Bok = Bom (which means someone/something fell)
Cor = Corn (he love loves corn)
Pants
Hair
Head
Mose = Nose
Eaaaa = Ear
Jyache = Jacket
Ter = Water
Bowl
ManMan = Anpanman

Do you notice the many M words he can say? Yes, i noticed. And yet he can`t say Mama...whaaaat??? Ridiculous. Everytime i try to coax him, he just shakes his head...Grrrrrrrr And you know what, isn`t DadDad much much harder to say?? Unbelievable.

So anyway, we`ll end it with many pics taken over the past weeks, they boys happy and enjoying our beautiful weather.

And these are from the weekend`s trip to Tobu Zoo. I tell you what i love about Japan is that when the weather is cool n warm, it`s so much fun to visit all these kid friendly places where the kids just run around and do their monkey stuffs. The boys were thrilled, Lucas had so much energy after lunch he insisted on walking around and running. It was pure joy to see my boys so happy. I hate to stay in on weekends and to get out of Tokyo for the day is just too perfect.

We hope you all had fun too on the weekend!
