play time

July 18th, 2010 | By Kyoko

Oskar sat on the shelf and watched immi shred paper into tiny pieces to make tiny mails to fit the tiny mail boxes of doll houses for entire hour or so (they are both patient!).

Immi is still shredding paper (it’s been  like 4–5 hours now?). At this point, they are no longer tiny mails, but snow! She is making it snow on top of her Carebear (polar bear?).

fire place

April 3rd, 2010 | By Kyoko

It’s been chilly out lately. But this is a good thing for Immi and Miss Monroe because they love the fire place! Immi tucked Miss Monroe under the blanket and she joined too.

sick

January 6th, 2010 | By Kyoko

Immi woke up feeling pukey this morning :( We think that she is just tired, since she seems to have had trouble falling asleep last night and didn’t get enough sleep. She is finally well enough to catch up on sleep, and hopefully feel better. Oskar is keeping her company.

Amazingly, immi made a nearly full recovery by the late afternoon, but she still seems a bit tired and hiding out in the corner in between jumping around and singing.

Immi and Oskar.

oskar

Oskar seems to love immi, which is quite surprising considering she can be unintentionally a bit rough with him. The otherday, she pulled him out of the bookshelf (second shelf) — by his tail! —  where he was  sleeping and he thudded onto the floor, but he didn’t get even slightest bit upset!

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!

snickers bar aquatic feline surprise

January 16th, 2009 | By Todd

I am still in dis-belief  by the startling and mysterious events of this evening.  Sitting in the next room, I heard Kyoko parroting in varying tones of utter curiosity:

“What is that?!? What isssss that??? Toddd! What is thaaaat?”

As I rounded the corner to the kitchen, kyoko stood near the gate cautiously pointing and peering down at the cats lonesome water bowl…something very strange was floating in the kittie water.  A brown anomaly.  I slowly quickly connected the dots:

missing diaper

+

cat’s water bowl

+

snickers bar

=

???????

Time for a little word association to aid in the detection process -

When I say water bowl, you say…Toilet!!!

Conclusion –

Immi left a floater in the cats’ water bowl.  Mystery solved, case closed.

Political Ramifications -

Geo-fecal submarine and international maritime lines have been crossed.  A aquatic feline war has been declared.  Mew battles have begun.  Code brown weapons have been deployed in the immediate vicinity.  The kitty water supply has been intentionally contaminated.  New meaning has come to the phrase “don’t drink the water.”

And somehow I landed decontamination duty. This is definitely getting classified under “development” and “milestones!”

January 14th, 2009 | By Todd

Little Immi insisted on putting on her pink sunglasses and boots before bedtime.

Nobody can be totally glam without a plastic banana!

“Mmmmmmmmmmm it’s so tasty”

Mr. Oskar looks a little grumpy because he didn’t get pink sunglasses!  How sad :(

evening

October 27th, 2008 | By Kyoko

We are spending time at immi’s grandmom’s. Immi is having some apple sauce with the halloween gosties.

Immi and Mr. Darcy are doodling. They look like they are behaving, but just until now, they were jostling over a purple crayon. Even though immi is a person and Mr. Darcy is a cat, they play together really well (it probably helps that immi is a bit like a kitten and Mr. Darcy thinks that he is a person).

wednesday

October 15th, 2008 | By Kyoko

Immi is playing with her ponies of the Ponyville. Oskar is hanging out nearby and watching.

…because you know, they are best-friends.

Here is a video of our walk today. Immi is picking up acorns and branches. I’ve never seen her show interest in fallen branches before — I’m thinking that she is playing Harry Potter (we were watching the DVD last night).

Todd is in Detroit this week, so I’m trying to post often since I’m sure he misses us:)

lazy sunday

October 12th, 2008 | By Kyoko

Immi is gardening with her dad.

Feeding Mr. Oskar some fresh catnip. Miss Monroe wants some too, but Immi is busy with Oskar. (Immi seems to be developing ‘favorites’ these days: black plaid skirt, pink jelly shoes, MyLittlePony named CherryBlossom…).

Fell a sleep watching Dr. Seuss DVD.

Immi found a keyhole while walking around wearing Auntie Junko’s shoes (she is visiting this weekend!) and she is trying out her key.

now i know…

October 9th, 2008 | By Kyoko

…how immi and Oskar became best-friends lately (Oskar lets immi give him hugs very often, he gives her kitty kisses, and he hangs out near her a whole lot). Immi has been sharing her food with him!

I caught them in the act. Immi is giving Oskar pieces of her pancake. She is tearing them into small pieces so that it’s easier for him to eat it!

cats!

September 25th, 2008 | By Kyoko

Immi put on a leopard handpuppet and showering Mr. Oskar with hugs and kisses with it!

Immi is taking a nap. And the kitties joined her too. (I’m about to study the booklet for Learner’s Permit, the very same one Allison got for me at DMV in Cville years ago!)

Immi is reorganizing my crochet hooks (I’ve been a beginner at it for few years. Now that the hooks are organized I’ll be better??). I sewed up the organizer last week and Immi seems to be very interested in it. I just might have to make her a color pencil organizer…

Immi’s grandmom stopped by because she got for immi a little kitchen and a motorcycle! Here is immi baking a turkey in the oven.

And guess what!? Todd is back from the business trip. He came home around 11:30 pm. Immi looked so happy when she heard the sound of jungling key at the door. He found for immi this turtle stuffy with a fun hairdo. Immi loved him immediately and gave him kisses. Immi’s daddy isn’t in the photo because he is getting ready for a bath. He got for us an entire box full (and a few extra!) of yummy bath bombs and soaps from Lush: )

calling…

August 5th, 2008 | By Kyoko

Immi misses her daddy so much. She wanted to call him and wouldn’t stop crying (she still looks sniffly) until I gave her the REAL phone which she spotted out of her reach. She is dialing now and about to say”Hi!, Dada!!. Hi!!”.

Immi’s grandparents invited us over of dinner. Immi is walking around in the parking lot while we wait for our ride.

People who visit our place ask us often if the cats can jump over or otherwise go through the gates. I haven’t seen them jump over but they can go though the side of the one that goes to the kitchen.

…it just takes a bit of effort for Mr. Oskar who is, you know, big-boned: )

catnip

July 17th, 2008 | By Kyoko

Immi is handing out catnip!

Immi has been singing to music a lot lately. It sounds distinctly different from her babbles (holds out a pitch in one place for various duration on time before moving to the next, usually in “ahh”s). It’s mostly quite off from the music that she is singing to, but it’s a nice try.
