Entry: Getting colder now. . . Wednesday, November 16, 2005



I get completely bundled up for my bike ride to work now: hat, gloves, scarf, the works. The snow has been coming and going each day, melting when the sun comes out and then accumulating again at night. I am and I'm not looking forward to more of it: more means snowboarding, but more probably also means the end to riding my bicycle to work. We'll see.

Masashi seems to be on a new sleep schedual now that it's colder. He doesn't seem to really like playing outside in this freezing weather, and so he doesn't ask (or want) to go out to play in the morning before I go to work. We don't know, but this might be why he gets up a little later and goes to bed later now.  Masa also has a fun new skill: climbing over the gate at the bottom of the stairs! He pushes a chair up to it and climbs over, holding on to the ledge on the other side for balance. Scary.

He's talking a lot more and in a more conversation-like fashion. Most semi-intelligible words or Japanese, but he speaks just as much to me as he does my wife. I guess the fact that Ritsuko usually only speaks Japanese to me makes bilingual communication seem normal to Masashi. Ritsuko speaks Japanese, I speak English, we reply to one language in the other like it's completely natural (well, I guess it IS completely natural now that we've done it for so long). Kind of interesting to think about Masashi growing up hearing two languages all the time.

Well, here's the link to the most recent pictures. Like I said, we haven't been going out in the morning, so less pictures. But, they're all still quality stuff!
