Besides school work, I'm running out of new activities to do in our home. We are spending almost no time outside right now. It can be tedious at times.
So, when my son is resistant to any of my suggestions, we work on the forest. Today, we painted with sponges. He was delighted.
He gets such a kick out of art projects. I just have to have all the supplies ready! Luckily, the art teacher has various activities for the kids as part of the school curriculum. Today, my son cut along a squiggly line on a worksheet. He was so impressed with himself. And it was something that I would never think to have him do.
In 2017 my family headed to Tokyo. My husband had a new job and my son and I came along for the ride. This move was my second move to Japan - the first was for a year in 2002. At that time I was a single, recent college graduate. Moving abroad as a family was a whole different ball of wax. As I live this crazy life in Japan, I track our adventures and my observations, creating an unofficial guidebook to the city.
