immi 2.0

When I told immi that we were going out, she wanted me to brush her hair and put on a hairclip.

Who needs a shirt when you can just wear lots of sparkly things!?

We are driving out to DC to meet Auntie Junko. Immi fell a sleep on the way. She always takes her shoes off in the car.

Immi really wanted the pretty blue and white porcelain tea set (a real one, not a toy) with butterflies on it. She was [...]

We are moving!! It’s something we’ve been thinking about for long time, but wasn’t sure exactly when or where to. Well, we suddently knew it was that right time, and Porland OR seemed to be the right place so here we go. We just squared away the housing and booked the moving company so the [...]

We just went to Ashland’s 2 month check up and stopped by for frozen yogurt. Immi is mostly going fot the gummy bear topping, her brother only gets to watch, but he seems to be quite content.

Immi is playing at the play area of the yogurt place.

Immi is being a faery.

She’s been playing telephone with her xylophone…which is strange because it doesn’t look anything like the phones we have (We haven’t had land-line in a long time. And we don’t know anyone who still uses a phone that’s not cordless…). I think that she must have picked this up from watching [...]

We are talking a walk.

Immi and her daddy.

Immi is wearing HelloKitty ears which she got from her Ojiichan’s colleague in Japan (Hi!! Immi loves wearing it!) and eating some jellybeans.

We are at immi’s grandparents for dinner. We’ve walked to the park nearby.

Auntie Junko is here too.

Immi, Auntie Junko, Ojiichan and Obaachan after dinner.

Immi’s Ojiichan and Obaachan (my parents!) are visiting from Japan this week and brought over a suitcase full of goodies including this fun little wooden animal puzzle.

Immi is swaddling her HelloKitty doll!

Immi is rocking her baby HelloKitty and patting her back.

Immi seems to understand that her little brother is a ‘baby’ and that she no longer is one. She has been helping me take care of him by suggesting to put him on a swing (and switching it on!), and bringing [...]

We are at Amphora’s Bakery for coffee and pastry. Immi is have some chocolate chip cookie.

I found a set of alphabet beads and grabbed them thinking that immi could perhaps teach herself alphabets while beading:D She got much faster at it by stringing 2 or 3 at a time!

Immi has been beading the entire day and evening. She got tired and fell a sleep with a bead still in her [...]

Last night Immi had a sleepover at her Grandma’s house. Today she went with her G-Mom and her friend Jill down to the Washington D.C. Mall because there were some labor day festivities and concerts happening. I just got this picture via Jill’s Blackberry email of them having fun riding the Mall carousel:

Immi-chan seems to [...]

Immi is beading. She’s been doing this often lately (…and the pink tutu wearing). Today, she is stringing just the pink ones.

I see oskar hanging out with immi a lot these days, he seems to want to sit close to her and watch her play. Immi is reconfiguring glowsticks into necklaces and putting them on oskar — I’m surprised that he doesn’t seem to mind!

It is so very nice out today! …So immi and I are playing outside while Todd keeps an eye on napping Ashland.

There’s acorns on the ground already! It’s getting to be autumn!
