Mommy duty ♥

Thursday and Friday was my first time dropping off Kai at Preschool with all 3 kiddos.

WOW!  You won't believe how long it takes to get all 3 kids in the car!  Not to mention morning routines--breakfast, brushing teeth, changing clothes, using the bathroom before leaving, etc.

It took me a good 15 minutes just to get the car loaded...

But I made it!  And made it to school in time ♥

This is Day 1 after picking Kai up.  

(Note:: Luka showing off his raisin to me)

Day 2.  

Luka is a handful these days but he did really good on both days.

He didn't try to run away from or have any sort of meltdown.

Yay!

Kai, the Photographer ♥

Kai found my camera so I let him go take his own pictures.

Some of these are surprisingly good!

I love the black & white one.

全てカイが自分で撮った写真です。

良く撮れててビックリ！

白黒がMYお気に入りです。

Some pictures of Grandma.

ばぁばの写真も！

Love this one too...Nice job Kai!

これも良く撮れてる！

My cracked iPad...

My toes...blurry but it adds character ^_^

ママの足。

a box... hahaha

謎の箱。（笑）

And a smiling Milo after feeding.

Kai, I should let you play with my camera more often!

そしてマイロ。

これからももっと写真撮らせてあげよう！

Play-doh ♥

The video is a bit long ^_^

Luka's first time playing with play-doh!

Fascinated by the cutter.

Catching up

Ay...the front camera on my phone is horrible.  But here's Mommy and Milo.  This is how I spend my days.  Breastfeeding and sleeping on the couch.  It's quite exhausting!

I'm backed up with so many pictures!  I need to catch up on some posts.

Here's Kai being silly and playing his current favorite--bowling!

Luka's selfies.  He wanted band-aids on his cheeks. Bad mistake!

They stuck to his cheeks pretty good and it hurt him taking it off.  

Won't be doing that again!

Walking to the store.  Luka loves his doggy hat.

And baby Milo with my mom (his grandma) last week while she was helping me out.

Hmm...does he look more like Kai or Luka?  I still can't tell!

Brothers ♥♥♥

Kai is very good with Milo.  He takes it seriously and he's pretty great at holding him too.

I think Luka is pondering something...

Oh these two...Luka is always messing with Kai... but Kai is so patient with his brother.

Thank you for being a good big brother, Kai ♥

Making Japanese Candy ♥

Japanese candy is super fun--You can buy 'candy kits' and make your own candies.  I never got them because I'm pretty strict about giving candy to kids--but I figured Kai is old enough to enjoy some candy now.  I bought a couple at Uwajimaya and this day we decided to make animal soft chew candies.

hee hee, he had fun!  (And yes, so did I! I'm the queen of candy!)

Now that I have a reason to buy these candy kits, I'm going to start buying some whenever I visit Uwajimaya so Kai and I can have a 'candy making' session.  Woo!

Luka's 2nd Birthday ・ルカ2歳になりました♥

Luka turned 2!!

With Mommy still recovering from Milo's birth and since we're still on baby Milo's sleep schedule, we kept Luka's birthday very low-key.  My mom also helped out this week so she was here to celebrate with us!

ルカが2歳になりました！赤ちゃんのスケジュール、そしてママもまだ回復中なので小さなパーティーにしました。ばぁばもたまたまこの一週間お手伝いしてくれたので、ばぁばも一緒の誕生日会。

Thank you for the gifts!  Luka had a good birthday and I think he was most happy about the cake♥

Milo and Grandma ♥

My  mom is here to help out again for another week--Thank You~!!♥

Definitely makes things easier around the house.  Kai and Luka love to play with her too.

ばぁばがまた1週間お手伝いをしに来ました。

助かります！ありがとう♥

Milo - 1 month 一ヶ月♥

Hard to believe Milo is already 1 month old♥

22日に一ヶ月になりました。

Happy 1 month!!

Twinkle Twinkle ♥

Kai watching over his baby brother, Milo ♥

Singing Twinkle Twinkle to soothe Milo.  What a great brother!

Holding Milo ♥

He's such a great older brother.  He loves his baby brother and that makes me so happy ^_^

Luka is still adjusting to having a baby brother around.  He gives Milo kisses but I think he knows he's no longer the 'baby' of the family.

Videos

I caught Luka falling asleep on the mini couch!

眠いルカ。

I'm so happy these 3 get along ♥

仲良しで嬉しい♥

Milo working on some 'tummy-time'.

He's got a pretty strong neck!

首の運動！がんばれ！

"school!"

I found this robot backpack in our closet--I had forgotten about it and had originally purchased it for Kai when he was smaller.  But Kai was never into 'wearing' backpacks...so I showed Luka and he got excited! "school!" he says. 

I let him wear it and he didn't take it off all day.

"Cheese!"
