Listen to her story. Riko is living in imaginary world. Everyday she surprizes mom by using new expressions or difficult vocabularies. She stars singing a nursery rhyme and, scolds Baby Yuri, "Don't bump her head!". She picks up other baby Suzy. Riko then looks at Baby Yuri and holds her up saying, "I know, I know"

今日は琳子が毎日繰り広げてくれる想像の世界を紹介します。ママは毎回どんどんのびていく表現の豊かさと語彙の伸びに驚きます。このビデオの中ではナーサリーライムを歌うことから始まり、ベビーゆりちゃんに”頭をぶつけたでしょ！”としかりながら床におっこちたベビースージーを拾います。そしてベビーゆりちゃんに”はいはい”といいながらあやしています。

Mommy said, "why didn't your daddy build this cottage before we left there?" She would love to stay there for months....which we cannot do anymore... It's mommy's dream house!Daddy,please build a house like this in Hawaii for us!

By the way, thank you for sending pictures and helping daddy, uncle Ralph.
I will look forward to seeing pictures again!


ママはこの写真を見るたびに”どうしてパパはこのコテージをもっと前につくらなかったのかな？と嘆いています。何ヶ月とすごしてもいいぐらい素敵になってるね。。。でももう今となってはそれは無理。。。これこそ私たちのドリームハウスだって！パパ、ハワイでこれをたててあげてよ！

ところで写真を送ってくれたラルフおっちゃん、いつもパパを助けてくれてありがとう！またできあがった写真をおくってください！

これはガレージの正面。石でできた外壁をつけてます。側面はウェービースタイルの木目の外壁です。アクセントとなる窓はママのお気に入り。

This is the frontage of the garage. Daddy is finishing up the exterior, which he chose stone style. The side walls are wavy wood siding. The windows above the roofing is mommy's one of the favorites.

For people who are wondering where is my daddy：

Daddy is in Canada right now finishing up my cottage at lake Winnipeg. He started from demolition of old cottage to the brand new Canadian style cottage! Here are some pictures for you.

Daddyがどこにいるのかな？って不思議におもっている人たちへ：

Daddyはただいまカナダのウィニペグ湖にあるコテージを改築中です。去年の夏に古かったコテージを壊してようやく完成しそうです。今日は送られてきた写真を紹介します！

Auntie Becky carries me just like Daddy!

Bamboo forests needs lots of water. Mom wishes to have them in our yard but it's impossible in Makaha. By the way, this place is just one hour away from our house and the weather is so different already. Oahu is really a tiny island, as you can guess, but mountains and ocean winds create varaieties of wild scenaries in each region which makes Hawaii more attractive!

Windward has lots of Japanese immigrants, who came to Hawaii 100 to 200 years ago. There are temples and shrines but many of them are Christians.

Today, I will introduce the other side of island. We live in Makaha, which is located west-north side of Oahu island. Our area is always the hottest and very dry. I have not seen raining very very long time maybe two months.

On the other hand, the other side of Oahu called Windward is always wet and cooler. Actually, it even makes different greenary. Windward has deep forest and lots of lots of trees. It's totally different scenary.

We went to visit a temple, Byodoin. It is the same temple with original temple in Kyoto. Long time ago, Japanese immigrants built this beautiful temple in Oahu. It's quiet and tranquil. Mom said, "I feel like I came back to Japan!" She was very happy! OK, mon, I will take you there again!
