<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Like most moms I have a soul deep desire to be the absolute best mom I can be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had so much fun having Alison at home with me for the past 3 years but she simply outgrew being at home with mom all day, especially when Ethan was born. I couldn't just sit down with her like before and dedicate my undivided attention. I would get her started on something but then had to leave to take care of Ethan. I'm sure it comes as no surprise this was not acceptable to Alison.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She needed more. She needed more time outside. More time playing with other kids, more structure, more learning, more more more! More than what I could give her at home. She started seeing/hearing about other kids going to school and she wanted to go to school too, so we decided to give it a go!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alison has been in daycare a couple months now and it's been a blessing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At first I felt like a failure for not being able to meet all her needs, and it took a little while to get over that, but she gets so much more at daycare. More of the quality things that I want for her. Things like friendships, language learning (Japanese), going on walks, playing outside, learning, coloring/art. She has become braver since starting school as well. She will go down slides, touch glue and other sticky things, she is doing so well I wish I would have put her in daycare sooner! Granted this daycare is special. It's next to the ocean so they get to walk along the beach everyday and during the summer they don their bathing suits and play in the sand and water. They explore the area of town near the daycare and spend a lot of time outside (yesterday they went picnicking!). It's run by Japanese people and so Alison is getting exposure to a new culture (most of the kids are American). We are thinking it might be a good thing for Ethan too, but I want to wait till he is at least walking. But I have to admit the idea of having time to myself to work on my business and my hobbies and run errands without also caring for kids is very appealing. Daycare is really so much better than what I thought it was going to be. I had this idea in my head that it would stifle Alison and the opposite has happened, she seems to have really bloomed into a young child.</div>

I told Alison she could play quietly in her bed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She took that as "I will move all my toys onto the bed and play quietly" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this is what I found when I went to check on her, and yes she is having a tea party complete with her doll table and chairs on her bed.</div>

One of the most wonderful things about living in Okinawa is the wonderful friends we have made! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Crystal and her girl scout daughter, who Alison adores, is one of my mommy friends who had a baby boy a couple weeks after I had Ethan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She called me up and asked if the kids and I would like to go to "Sushi go Round" which is what American's call any Japanese restaurant where there sushi goes by on a little conveyer belt and you grab what you want as it passes by. It's funny the names people come up with for places around town but necessary since no Americans that I know read Japanese!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are in a area of town called "American Village" and its a fun place to shop and eat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At this particular eatery there are two things I really like.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you walk in the little area right before you actually go into the restaurant (the place most stores have to help keep the air conditioning inside) There is a sink to wash your hands! So you don't have to go into the bathroom you can wash up right when you walk in! The other thing is the tea! Instead of them bringing it to you, they have a little hot water dispenser at each table where you can fill your cup up and then grab a little bag of green tea to brew a nice fresh cup to your liking. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can imagine, blond hair is a rarity in Japan so Japanese people, especially the women, really like to give Alison attention and take her picture. </div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A another fun thing about Japan is the creative ways they spell and put together American words.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This place is called "Bakary Cafe Happy" and it smelled really good, Alison and I might have to go back sometime for a fresh from the "van turned oven" bread</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chris was able to have some quiet time at home and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ethan slept for pretty much our entire outing. It's funny to think that for Ethan Japan is "home".</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alison really wishes she was small enough for this swing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall my opinion about baby gear is that most of it is unnecessary (of course there are obvious exceptions: clothing, place to sleep, car seat, stroller...) but when it came to the swing it was the one unnecessary baby item I didn't want to do without. Alison had one when she was a baby and it was one of the only things that helped our crying baby Alison fall asleep. Ethan is so mellow but he still really likes sleeping in the comfort of the swing.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alison will rock herself like this for 20-60 minutes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wonder if she remembers her own time passed sleeping away in the swing? </div>

Alison has been potty training and we got her some "potty presents"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is really into mommy and baby so when I saw this matching game I knew she would like it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
instead of matching up identical cards you match up the mommy animal with the baby animal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried to play the memory game with her where you flip the card over and try to find the match but she enjoyed matching them up side by side without using them as a game more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her favorite set is the Seahorse mommy and her fry babies.</div>

We ended up propping him up with his blanket so he wouldn't tip over :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't he the handsomest baby you've ever seen?</div>

I found a bib yesterday when I was out shopping in town with my friend Crystal. It's one of those plastic ones with the catch all at the end. Its decorated in space themed images and I thought it was cute and would be handy to have for Ethan. I didn't know that when Alison saw it she would want to wear it!</div>

Alison being silly for the camera.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This morning she wanted to drink out of her tea cup. I give her tea in hopes that she will develop a taste for it. Green tea, peppermint tea and chamomile are the ones I would really like for her to learn to drink since green tea is so healthy (and they make a caffeine free version) and peppermint tea is soothing for a sore throat/congestion and a bunch of other things (and it taste good) and of course chamomile for the obvious relaxing sleepy effect. </div>
