An Easy Order to Fill

Kenzo came up to my office and brought me a present this afternoon. It's obviously a picture of me. It's unmistakable.

Up until today it's just been Kenzo who comes upstairs to ask me to print coloring sheets. Usually he wants Cars characters, though for last few days he's been back into GeGeGe no Kitaro, which is harder to find coloring sheets for.

Today, however, Osamu himself came up and asked me to print a coloring sheet for the first time. I was pretty excited. He's accessing his healthy entitlement to ask for things he wants or needs. For his first ever papa-printed coloring sheet he requested Chick Hicks from Cars, which is a very easy order to fill. I printed it up and Osamu took it downstairs and colored it badly with just a ballpoint pen and then brought it back up to me and asked if he could hang it on the wall next to his bed and I said sure.

I was pretty proud of the dessert I prepared for the boys tonight. Kiwis on top of blueberries with a splash of honey. They gobbled it down after their curry rice dinner.

I saved a few blueberries and kiwis for myself. Man, they were good.

After bath time there was some noise outside. The boys opened the curtains and we had front row seats for an excellent fireworks show at the college across the road. One of our neighbors took this video and shared it on the neighborhood chat.
