Takoyaki(Octopus ball)

 

 We often make Octopus Ball at my house. Of course we have the "Takoyaki(Octopus Ball)Pan" .But my daughter does not like octopus,she said"It is chewy...". I really understand it. So I change to sausage instead of octopus. 

 I often use cheese,sausage, edamame(green soybeans),green onion. We love it:)

 My daughter learns English with me, so I let her make the project "How to make the Octopus Ball " Recently she did not learn English at all, she forgot many spell, so I was so surprised. She ...and I have to learn English more.

 

Pampering

 I have never thought I am very protective about my child. Yes...maybe it is true. 

 Maybe I have to recognize my kid as individual. I think I controlled my kid until now.But It is time..

But I don't know... how??I might be emotional with ease. Oh... this is really weak. I often go to the bathroom, and I just take a big breath and let me calm down. But it is really difficult.

 

Get angry !

 I always pick my daughter up near station of school. Almost students go back to their home by themselves. But I am really scared this strange world. Of course I feel my child doesn't know public manners yet, so I have to teach it to my child.

 But I will see the"Kid's world ",too. Sometimes kid's world is really heartless. So I often warn to them. I might be a "That's enough!!" for them. 

  I just wait at station when she comes back to there from school, then we get together and get on the train. We have to change other line after first train.... My daughter promise to wait for her friend without asking. But our second train have arrived!! To tell the truth, I don't want to wait. Because we might loose our time. We have to do many thing after school.And I think if my daughter want to wait at there for her friend, she should come back with her friend from school. I missed one train, but I decided to get on next train. So I said "If you want to come back with your friend, please come back alone." She was worrying about her friend,and afraid about me. 

 I am really mad ,because she did not thinking about me. Maybe my pickup became commonplace for her. Pickup is my decision, but I feel "Remember to be helped from somebody".

 But I really understand her "Kid's world". I don't know how much do I intervene in her world.

Free time

 My daughter does the homework and practice to play the piano after school. She have to be in a hurry to do everything. Because she have to go to bed at 8 p.m.  She always come back at 3:30,so she have to do everything for 4 hours.(Bed time story needs 30 min.) She is really busy kid. 

 It takes 1 hour and half to do her homework everyday. Sometimes I feel sorry to her. But it can't help it, it is real world. 

 I think it is most important to play outside:) Playing makes kids smart and be creative person! So I really want to let her play in outside everyday like my childhood! But I don't have any idea now. 

 Good use of time is my destination!!

Time

  Before my daughter was going to kindergarten , I was really really busy everyday.So I could not cleaned my house up completely. But she goes to school from this spring, I can have own time than before. Strange to say, I don't have any idea to use MY time. 

 So I decided to wipe my house up everyday. Fortunately, I have the commuter pass of train,so I go to shopping by train:) I don't spend the gas of car. It is good for Ecology! Of course I have MY BAG when I go to shopping.

 But I don't have motivation for study now, it is hard to sit down in front of desk. I am disgusted with myself.  

Trust

 I take my child to near station(of school) everyday. I also pick her up at station again. She goes to school with her friends from the station. At first, I heeled them to the gate of the school. But my daughter said"I can go to school with my friends! I don't need any help, Mom!". 

 But I concerned about their manners.Of course they do not know the public manners yet. I think grown-ups should to teach the public manners. Of course I lecture them persistently until now. So maybe kids think "That mother is really fussy person!" . 

 I feel...Recently grown-ups do not teach the manners to kids. When I was kid, stranger called attention for us. So sometimes I feel "Am I wrong!?"

 Maybe my daughter has own world with her friends, so I really understand that excessive meddling is not good. It is difficult to do the parenting and raising.
