It's Japanese boys day.

The 5th of May is Children’s day in Japan. I wonder what it is. When you want to know about something you should look up on the Internet.

According to Wiki, Children’s day is a Japanese national holiday and is part of the Golden Week. It is a day set aside to respect children's personalities and to celebrate their happiness. Wiki knows everything doesn’t it? It seems that the day is also known as Boy’s day. We had Girl’s day in March didn’t we daddy?

In the Wiki page you can see the photo of big carp-shaped flag. People with boys raise this flag don’t they? Woof!! It must be fun!! Silky and I have a tiny one so we tried outside. It wasn’t windy enough but still we look good don’t we?

Also I found the small ornament which is daddy’s. They are chubby boys wearing armour. Now it is dressing up time!

どうです？

We made the armour hat using newspaper and posed for the camera. How do we look, daddy?

After this Children’s day thing, we went to the park. I didn’t want to walk so it took time for us to get to the park. You know, during those bank holidays I went to everywhere with daddy’s car, but now I have to walk everywhere. I want daddy’s car.

On the other hand, Silky is always very happy to walk. As soon as we got the park she ran around the squirrel area a few times as usual and we carried on. In the park I walked fairly OK but when we realized we couldn’t see anyone in the park. It was middle of lunch lunch time so everyone must have been gone for lunch lunch.

食べたいのかな・・・

We started feeling hungry and Silky started blaming me. She said that I was too slow. But my legs are not as long as Silky’s and I always walk like a princess. It is my habit.

お昼時真っ只中。だーれもいない・・・早く帰ろ、マミー

On our way home, I saw Rainbow the cat. I saw Lily the cat too but she is still shy with us. Rainbow, on the other hand, was very friendly as usual and we sniffed each other. Woof!! She smells very yummy. I couldn’t stop sniffing her and wanted to lick her. She said she had had yummy fishy lunch lunch.

I was starving and tired but I had to walk another 20 minutes from Rainbow’s house to our house. I sat down but mummy told me to walk otherwise we couldn’t have lunch lunch. Mummy should take packed lunch lunch for me and Silky shouldn’t she?
