Harry, Kathleen, Sydney and Julia Watts have moved to Yokosuka, Japan. Here is how our life as a Gaijin (Japanese for foreigner) has been developing.

Last Yokohama trip as a threesome!

We probably took our last Japan adventure before the arrival of daughter number 2 this weekend. We decided it would be fun to check out one of our favorite cities in Japan and also to take Sydney up in the Ferris wheel. So we started our day with a little shopping and bought a couple of little things, nothing really important. Then we went on a Ferris Wheel ride, which I have many pictures from the ride but forgot to get a picture of the actual ride. Sydney is into photography, and since we left her camera at home, we let her take some pictures with our camera. As you can see we had to pose different ways for each picture but we may have an Annie Liebowitz on our hands. Sydney also got a new coat and winter ensemble which she is modeling. It was difficult to get the new things off her, so she wore the gloves and hat to bed. Dad even taught her to tie her scarf which she got the hang of quickly. Sydney's latest thing is to learn how to do everything. While in Australia she learned to button and zipper, and when we have clothing that we can't quite get the hang of, the frustration causes tears. It is difficult to learn everything and there are some things that Mom and Dad have to say are just too hard to learn right now. She is doing well with things for the most part, but there is definitely a learning curve for child and parents. Enjoy the slide show! My friend Diane, who got me involved in blogging, has taught me the way to place many things on the blog so all can enjoy. I must say the slide show is one of the easiest! So there will probably be many more slide shows in the future. Happy weekend and we will keep you all informed about baby number 2. As of last week's MD appointment, nothing is happening and she is in no rush to present herself.
