Blog revival! (and indoor bowling)

Wow, it's been over a year since my last post. (not that anybody is really reading...)
I've had another boy since then! Yuta is now 2 yrs.5mos, and I have another little boy, Hiro, 2 months old. Maybe I can revive my blog!

Here's something fun to do on a rainy day:
Collect 10 plastic bottles, preferably the same size.
Fill them up with a little bit of water, just at the bottom.
Find a ball in a size of preference and...
play indoor bowling! Maybe add a disco ball...

So my big Sumo guy (a.k.a. Yuta) is the sweetest big brother to my little Sumo guy (a.k.a. Hiro). He is very protective and proud of his little brother. Any time someone goes to admire Hiro, Yuta goes over and says "baby brother" and shows them how he rocks the car seat. He also doesn't like me admiring other babies. He scowls at me and points at Hiro saying angrily, "Hiro!" Oh. Right. Wrong baby.

Yuta is getting to be fully bilingual. He primarily spoke Japanese before, and was really shy about speaking English. I'm pretty sure he understands most of it, since my husband and I speak English to each other mostly. But Yuta was 100% Japanese. He's now trying hard to speak English, and is more outgoing with other kids. Hurray! I was getting a little worried because I didn't want him to be traumatized in Preschool as I was when I moved to the states in first grade. Oddly, he calls his dad "Papa" when speaking Japanese to him, and calls him "Josh" when speaking English to him. I guess that's my fault. Should choose a name, mom!

That's all for now. Hope I can keep this alive!
