I didn’t dress up for Halloween this year. I thought about dressing up as Humpty Dumpty, but my belly didn’t quite get big enough by Halloween. Also a typhoon was approaching Tokyo area, and the weather was really terrible. Windy and lots of rain, so I decided not to dress up for the party.
I was greatly entertained by this post by Twitch Vintage blog and wanted to share some of the cutest kids and pet costumes!

2012
2012 was a great year. There were personal and family milestones (adoption/foster care registration) and professional ones (fun blogger collaborations and making dance costumes). I have loved sharing with you in this little blog and am grateful for all of my readers’ support. I’m excited about even bigger things to come in 2013. Happy New Year!
Four Years Old
Kiko turned four last month. Although we threw her birthday parties every year up until now (first, second and third), we decided not to do it this year and enjoy a quiet birthday by ourselves. I made her mini cupcakes and Andy got her Belle and Rapunzel dolls. She loved them and played with them for an hour. I loved playing with my dolls as a child, so I enjoy seeing Kiko plays with them too.
On her birthday, she had daycare in the morning. At the end of the daycare, a caretaker usually gives me a slip of paper describing what she ate, whether she pooped and one paragraph journal of how she was for the day. On that day, it said something like this in Japanese: “Today was Kiko’s birthday. She was excited to tell everyone about her birthday. I (the caretaker) asked what she wanted to be when she grew up. She said she wanted to be like mommy”.
Parenting has ups and downs. There are some days that I feel I’m doing an alright job as a mother and there are some days that I get haunted by the thought that I might be screwing up or completely ruining Kiko’s life because of what I’m doing or not doing. It was one of those days that made me happy because she said she wanted to be like me! It was such an honor. I know you might think that every little girl says that, but it made me happy nonetheless.
