  Barbapapa

  03.11.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  \ I’d never heard of Barbapapa before I came to Japan. This is the same with Hello Kitty and slightly more obscure characters like Doraemon and Anpanman. My baby is obsessed with him. At least I think he is. I’m not sure whether it’s her who’s obsessed with him or my wife. She buys everything [...]

  Bookshop Isabelle

  12.16.07 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  This is one of my favourite ever Isabelle photos. She`s really progressing. She is 17 months old and is walking confidently． She can say some words like Mama, Dada and Hai. She can also say Deta which means it came out. She says this when she does a poo. It`s a really good early warning [...]

  Mama

  08.18.07 | Permalink | 7 Comments

  Isabelle has started speaking. She can say, “Mama”. She`ll point at somebody or something and say, “Mama” which either means she is confused about her parents or it means something else to her. It means anything from, “Give me!” to “Look at me!” She`ll say, “Dada” sometimes but not on queue. I told her if [...]

  Kotatsu Danger

  05.31.07 | Permalink | 5 Comments

  Is there anything more dangerous to a baby than a kotatsu? Similar to a coffee table but used (at least in our house) for everything from eating dinner on to studying. Perhaps it’s not the kotatsu itself but the items left on it. Steaming bowls of miso soup or tea, knives and food are all [...]

  The torture device

  04.26.07 | Permalink | 5 Comments

  Baby Belle has a cold of mythical proportions. When she sleeps, snot bubbles expand and deflate from her nostrils. So we bought a phlegm extractor. There are two ends. You put one end into the nostril. The other in your mouth. You suck on one end and the mucus flies from the nose into a [...]

  Being a father

  01.29.07 | Permalink | 15 Comments

  What’s it like being a dad? The main thing I notice apart from there being a beautiful female mini version of myself is the lack of free time to do anything I want to do. I enjoy reading and when the mood hits me I can read a couple of books a week using every [...]

  Ode to the pacifier

  08.08.06 | Permalink | 4 Comments

  O Mighty Pacifier! Oh Rescuer of souls, Bringer of peace, Withholder of despair, Calmer of nerves! O Miraculous Dummy! Forgive my initial distrust of your magic, your ability to turn the frantic cries of a baby in torment into the contented sucks of an angel in heaven. I am a fervent follower of your fabulous [...]

  Summer holiday

  08.07.06 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  I`m on the second week of a 3 week holiday as school is out for summer. I`m treating it as a delayed paternity leave. It`s been quite fun staying at home and getting to know Isabelle better changing nappies and learning which of her cries means I`m unable to control my bowel movements and which [...]
