This is a field where they plant sunflowers in the summer and Cosmos in the fall. It is across from a park called SunFlower Hill Park and a childrens center called Chaicom. We go to the childrens center just about everyday. It is a good way for Takafumi to blow off steam after daycare. I think in terms of childrens centers and places to play Japan is a good place to raise children. On the other hand, the fathers work long hours with many fathers never really seeing their children on the weekdays. It is the mother who basically raises the children even though there is a father present because of the working hours of the father it is like the mom is a single mom. Some moms are lucky to have their parents or in-laws to help out.

 Taka is getting good at taking pictures! Here he shows how I have not yet taken down the Halloween decorations.

It is time to keep the house clean as Hisanobu can now move around a little by rolling over.
