	~~April 10, 2018~~		== Personal ==

	~~This morning I went to Shibuya ward office with our estate agent who helped us 2 years ago when we were building our house~~. She went over all the things needed to register for minpaku(airbnb). The staff were very young girls, not the ojisantachi(old men) I was expecting. They seemed to know their stuff although my agent pushed them a few times on some specific points.		[http://www.lundman.net/gallery/ My Gallery]

	My next step is to get some certificates to say I am who I say I am (?) and that I live in the house, and to register with a gomi(rubbish) company so that the guest gomi isn't being taken by shibuya ku gomi service. I said that the Shibuya website says we can put out up to 4 45litre bags at a time but they said minpaku rubbish must be picked up by a separate company. There is no getting around this as the flyer that I have to give to the neighbours has to have the outsourced gomi company and their phone number on it.

	~~I also need to go to the fire department and arrange for an inspection as well as for emergency lighting to be installed~~.		[http://www.ushka.net/gallery/ Ushka's Gallery]

	There are a lot of other papers regarding the house and layout but the estate agent already has them. I don't know what will happen if the neighbours complain after I give them the "FYI we're going to do minpaku" paper. Will probably give some omiyage (small gifts) at the same time. Open to ideas and suggestions here. We have to tell neighbours within a 10 metre radius. At no point was zoning areas discussed.

	~~My agent told them I teach cooking classes at home (which I do) but didn't mention that I also work outside the home. She told me not to tell them that.~~		Buying a [[tokyo_house\|house in Tokyo]]

	~~We are planning on installing security cameras on the outside of the house but we are waiting to see if the neighbours complain and~~, ~~if they do, this will be our peace offering.~~		Registering for [[Minpaku/AirBnb registration]] Airbnb in Shibuya, Tokyo

	~~I think it went well and it isn't impossible but the mendokusai (PITA) level is quite high.~~		Proposed 2008 [[2008_Holiday]]

	~~April 13, 2018~~		Proposed 2011 [[2011_Holiday]]

	update on the garbage, just pasting from the mail I got.....And to talk about garbage, I called Shibuya Garbage Office this morning. You are right ! The man in order said, fundamentally you have to make an agreement to Garbage collection agency, but when there is not much garbage, then you buy the seal for business garbage, then you can take out the garbage as usual. The limit of the amount of garbage are 3bags (45L/bag ) every time. The seal/sticker for business garbage costs just over 3000yen for a pack of 10 and can be purchased at the convenience stores.		Proposed 2014 [[2014_Holiday]]

	~~April 20~~, ~~2018~~		Mum asked me to write down my experiences with having a child, so I did that, and for some reason carried on doing it even after she could no longer read them.

	A trip to the Shibuya fire department today, since our airbnb space is under 50 m^2 and is a standalone house and we live there we did not need the emergency exit signage. The fire staff said that the laws may change in ~~the future and we may need the exit sign then (or when we change to the hotel licence) but, for now, we are ok and we got~~ a hanko to prove it. We had tried to get an appointment on Wednesday but the staff at the fire department said they have been swamped with minpaku applications and the earliest we could get there was this afternoon.		[[birth]] giving birth in Tokyo as a foreigner.

	Our agent is going to do the application online and we will go to the ward office after golden week to hand in the necessary papers. In the meantime I have a paper to hand to the neighbours which says we are planning to do minpaku and we'll try our best not to be meiwaku (a nuisance) about it and to call me or talk to me if they have any concerns. Was surprised that the number on the paper is my number and not some Shibuya minpaku complaints hotline.		[[year one]] first year of child rearing

	Have picked up packs of Lindt chocolate to hand out with the papers, we also have to give a paper to the manager of the neighbourhood association, a really old guy with no teeth that I can't understand very well, hope he can eat chocolate, continuing on bravely with fingers crossed and hope for the future :)		[[year two]] second year

	~~May 11~~, ~~2018~~		[[year three]] third year, toilet training.

	~~The next step. L-san, who is helping me, made an appointment with Shibuya ward office to submit~~ the documents, she had already done an online registration for us. The current appointments for minpaku at the ward are for only 30 minutes and it took us a week to get an appointment so I guess there are a lot of ~~other people going through~~ the ~~same process. Safety in numbers? ☺~~		[[birth two]] detailing the birth of the second child
	The old guy with no teeth had contacted L-san because he didn’t understand what minpaku was so we will go and meet him next week and explain it. He’s very traditional though so I may have to take husband who speaks limited Japanese to add gravitas. He wasn’t angry or upset when he called, just confused. Will take that as a win.

	Stopped and got a quick printout of our family register for 300yen. The minpaku area at Shibuya is still small but packed with staff now, there were at least a dozen staff behind the counter. Two other people were already there for their appointment. No seats are offered, it is one of the first ~~times I have experienced dealing with paperwork and signatures without being offered a seat. It feels like they didn’t anticipate this much action. The two staff who we dealt with today~~, ~~one was an elderly gentleman who was fairly relaxed and interested in chatting a bit, the other was a young girl who seemed like she had had enough, she spoke briskly and left no room for error~~. ~~There were two young girls standing by her taking notes, she was definitely under pressure~~.		[[year four]] first turns 4, second turns 7 months. Eye operation.

	~~Handed across the papers we did have, I think we had~~ 6 ~~out of 9~~, and ~~this was checked off on a list by the elderly gentleman. I used my hanko (signature stamp) three times. There were~~ 3 papers we didn’t have, 1 of which we actually did have but it was not up to the standard they required. The second was just a paper to say my husband has given me power of attorney. They brought out a compass to measure the radius around our home on our printed google map to make sure we had informed the correct amount of neighbours. There was some discussion about the empty home of a woman who recently passed but no discussion at all about the abandoned house behind us.		[[year six]] first goes to school at 6, and second is 3.
	~~They also checked our map showing a 150metre radius to check there were no schools in that area. They were quite serious about this~~.

	One of the papers they needed seemed to be a Japanese only paper and there was no translation of what a foreigner would need for this. Eventually the strict girl went away and got a photocopy of something which had a lot of Japanese words on it and the word affidavit in English. She said we needed something to say I am not bankrupt and am not mentally handicapped. I was standing right there. ☺

	~~So we left the papers we did have there~~, I’d like to believe the process has been started. Walking out of the ward office with fewer papers than we walked in with seems like progress. Parking lot discussion involved the fabled affidavit and L-san suggested I ~~try my embassy~~, ~~which was easy as that was on~~ my ~~way home anyway~~. So I ~~took copies from her of what~~ I ~~was looking for and started on that mission~~.		Back in 1998 or so, I got quite sick, probably both from an ulcer and my gallbladder stones. I wrote a story about that, which I will move in here.

	Got to the New Zealand embassy and got through to the front desk, showed the staff there my papers and he was a bit confused but said he would call someone.. A guy came down and I showed him the papers, he asked immediately if I was doing airbnb, I said yes, and that I needed this paper for the registration. He said that that kind of paper doesn’t exist in New Zealand. I told him if I can hand them a physical and official piece of paper it might be enough. They just need something for their checklist. He then suggested just writing something myself, having it translated and checking if that is what they want. He said to tell the ward office that the embassy is waiting to sign it for me if they tell me it is what they want. Signing costs 7000yen so I need to be 100% sure that will be acceptable. He also thanked me for being the first to try this asked me to let him know if there is a paper they can prepare for any future Kiwis registering for minpaku.		[[gall stones]]

	~~So I came home, googled what affidavit means, and wrote one based on a template he gave me.~~

	~~And that’s where I am now ☺~~		[[OsX]] thoughts on Mac

	~~May 17, 2018 (T-29 days until the new airbnb laws kick in)~~		[[tmphack]]

	Yesterday I had the affidavit I wrote signed by the New Zealand embassy staff. At no point was my id checked there but I guess a good kiwi accent can get you pretty far. They insisted I read the affidavit and swear on the bible. I said I wasn't religious so swearing on the bible means next to nothing to me but they said that was fine and to just go with it. 7,500 yen for a stamp to say I was legit and they believed me and 20 minutes total in and out of the embassy including the 12 minutes it took for them to find the stamp.		[[ipad]]

	So today L-san and I went to the ward office again, I had hopes that this may be the last trip but of course it wasn't. L-san had prepared a contract to say that my husband is renting the first floor of the building to me for free as the house is in his name. I had his hanko (signature stamp) so just stamped it on his behalf and we are good to go. I did tell him about it afterwards. She told the ward office that we are married and it is our house but they still needed this paper. The affidavit passed their scrutiny, we got the stressed out lady behind the desk who now has a noticeable rash on her face and was scratching it a lot. Interesting to watch her slow descent into this governmental madness. Our appointment was for 30 minutes from 16:00-16:30pm. At smack on 16:30pm she just picked up her bag and left. We stayed and talked with the remaining staff who were noticeably more relaxed once she left. There was a lot of discussion about the exact size of the airbnb, and a magnifying glass was used to check the blueprints.

	They seem to have trouble comprehending that we have a shared entrance area and still have some issues understanding that we live in the same house, although this is one of the requirements for getting an airbnb licence. There was discussion about the thickness of the walls and whether those measurements needed to be added. No fewer than 3 highlighter pens were used on the blueprints and there was a lot of calculation. At one point L-san said it was all a bit silly and can they just tell us what number they want and we will write it, we are easily under the 50m regulations for the fire safety certificate which we already have. The staff laughed, but they didn't tell us what number they wanted, they weren't sure of it themselves. So that paper needs to be typed again and they were unable to photocopy my passport, despite the photocopier right there, so I will make a copy for them.

	Closing in on 5pm, well over our allotted appointment time, Lorraine said we would be back tomorrow at 8:30am sharp with the papers. The staff laughed and we laughed with them. And then they realised she was serious. One staff bravely said they are just arriving at 8:30am and perhaps 8:40 would be better. We'll take that thank you very much and we will be there tomorrow at 8:40am with, what just might be, the final papers. But I won't count on it...

	~~May 18, 2018 (T-28 days)~~

	Early start at the ward office this morning and finally all the application papers have been submitted! The staff got a bit frilly about us not having an official print out of the online application but one of them took pity on us and printed it for us. Stressed out girl apologised for leaving so abruptly yesterday and was in a better mood this morning, actually thanking us at some points for providing clear documentation. Still some discussion about the size of the airbnb and getting numbers to match up which they did. One of our papers was missing a 0 at the beginning of a 10 digit registration number as the computer had not allowed enough space for L-san to include it. It had to be handwritten in. One paper didn't pass the erasable pen test, my bad, sorry, so I rewrote with a regular pen. All of the papers were checked off, it was very satisfying to see all the marus (circles) (Japanese check-mark) going onto the checklist paper. Finally all of the papers were put into a large envelope and a paper with a list on was taped on the front of the envelope. The staff immediately signed the top 2 items on the 6-7 item list. I guess we need to get all those items signed off as the registration process. On the desk behind the counter there were 2 similar envelopes with 4 items checked off on their lists so others have also made it this far.

	So the next step, once the registration is complete, they will email L-san and we need to make another appointment at the ward office. At that time we will get the required door sign for our home to say we are registered and information about how to submit guest details to the ward office. I hope we will also get the registration number then, without it, airbnb is going to cut our account from their listings in 28 days...
	~~L-san guesses it may take 2-3 weeks for this process, we're cutting it fine indeed but I don't think we could have got here any faster.~~

	~~And, if anyone wants to book a place to stay in Tokyo in case our listing is cut.....~~

	~~Welcome to the FXP.One project.~~


	~~Before you start, this is not just another FTP/FXP client. It does not~~
	~~work that way.~~


	~~FXP.One consists of an engine, and~~
	~~you would need (at least) one GUI to control it.~~


	~~==FXP.One engine==~~

	~~The idea was to put all the hard code into an engine that is really~~
	~~easy to interface with. This has worked surprisingly well, in that you~~
	~~can FTP/FXP entirely by using "telnet". This means writing a client,~~
	~~which is essentially just a Display Shell, quite trivial. This~~
	~~includes people who wants to just script clients, like by using perl,~~
	~~python and so on.~~

	~~This also means you do NOT have to run the engine on the same machine that you run the GUI client(s).~~

	~~For example, if you had a stable host, perhaps even with a static IP~~
	~~making the credentials for authentication easier, you could run the~~
	~~engine there. Then connect to it by the client of your choice.~~

	~~You can disconnect this client (the engine will keep working if you do~~
	~~not tell it to stop) and start a new (and possibly different) client~~
	~~elsewhere, and resume control of your previous work.~~

	~~But you can run the engine and client at the same time, and quitting~~
	~~at the same time, making it appear like a normal FTP/FXP client.~~


	~~'''If you are looking for a Windows binary, please download the bundle from the latest [[UFxp]] client'''~~

	~~% make install~~

	~~Now create your SSL keys~~

	~~% openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out lion.pem -keyout lion.pem~~


	~~Create your .FXP.One folder and copy lion.pem into it~~

	~~% mkdir .FXP.One && cp lion.pem .FXP.One/~~

	~~Start the FXP.One engine~~

	~~% FXP.One~~

	~~(Please use gnuMake; which might be called make, gmake, gnumake etc on your system)~~

	This should always compile the '''FXP.One engine'''. If ''configure'' can find the correct '''CDK''' library and '''ncurses''' on your system it will also compile the '''ncurses''' client '''FXP.cOne'''. Otherwise it will skip compiling this client.

	~~'''Openssl-devel'''If you see a error like this:~~
	~~''checking whether we need extra options to link OpenSSL... configure: error: Found linkable OpenSSL in , but it doesn't run, even with -R. Maybe specify another using --with-ssl-dir?''~~

	~~You will need to openssl-devel for your system. On most Red Hat Variants it can be done with yum.~~

	~~yum -y install openssl-devel~~


	~~If you want to run '''clomps-irc''' you will need libpcre and headers, so most likely the -dv version if there is one:~~

	~~apt-get install libpcre3-dev~~




	~~'''''SSL Issues'''''~~

	~~If your trying to connect from your client and get errors about ssl it probably means that they versions of ssl you have on your engine and your client are not compatible.~~

	For example on the client end we have ssl version OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 and on the server and OpenSSL 09.8k on another. There are many reasons why this will not work and many more why it should. In this case you will need to compile OpenSSL 0.9.8K on the server you wish to use FXP.Oned on and build FXP.Oned against that version of ssl. It the example below we will build openssl-0.9.8k in a local directory and compile FXP.Oned to use it.

	~~To do this go to the openssl.org downloads page and download the version you want to use.~~

	~~http://openssl.org/source/~~
	~~wget http://openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8k.tar.gz~~
	~~tar -xvzf openssl-1.0.0g.tar.gz~~
	~~cd openssl-1.0.0g~~
	~~./config -shared~~
	~~make~~

	~~Now go back to your FXP.Oned directory,~~
	~~make clean~~
	~~./configure LIBS=-ldl --with-ssl-dir=/home/erin/srcs/openssl-1.0.0g~~
	~~make~~
	~~make install~~

	~~==Running the engine==~~


	~~'''You will most likely need to create an SSL certificate for the engine since the default is only to accept secure connections.'''~~


	~~Since the engine will be saving your remote FTP site information, as~~
	~~well as any User/Passwords you chose on disk, you should consider~~
	~~encrypting these files.~~

	~~FXP.One engine will do this for you. When you start the engine, it~~
	~~will as for a "Key". This is the Key that it will use to encrypt all~~
	~~its data files. If you do not want encryption, just press return.~~

	~~For the first time you run FXP.One, just make up whatever Key you~~
	~~want.~~

	~~When you start the engine in future, you have to specify the correct~~
	~~Key or it will not be able to read your data files. (And you will not~~
	~~be able to login).~~

	~~To start again, you need to delete all .FXP.One files, and the engine~~
	~~will create these again.~~

	~~When the user file does not exist, the FXP.One engine will~~
	~~automatically create a login as "admin" with password "admin".~~


	~~NOTE: If you edit .FXP.One.settings file, you can change the option~~
	~~"ssl=1". By default it will only allow SSL connections. If you change~~
	~~it to "ssl=0" you make it optional. This allows you to telnet to the~~
	~~engine should you wish to check it out. Please read the~~
	~~"engine/API.txt" for more information on the FXP.One protocol.~~

	~~NOTE: Please be aware that all skiplist, movefirstlist and passlists~~
	~~are separated by the "/" character.~~
	~~That is, "fmovefirst=.sfv/.nfo".~~

	Having parents visit was great. Having Rileigh around was really good as well, as he clearly changed to interact more. Had to do whatever she was doing. There were even signs of other emotions. Near the end he did not want to share a bath with Rileigh, but wanted to have one with us as normal. The idea that children can be jealous of their parents attention was new. Rileigh had some other rules, and restrictions. After lunch, you go to the bathroom, them you go to bed. We imposed this on Lokien as well, and it was the best thing ever. He is so much better with routine. He loves it, and we love knowing when he will sleep. He is clearly more happy and energetic from it. Generally he will just go to bed after lunch on his own accord. No complaining or fighting. In fact, that only happens if lunch is delayed and he is over tired. Mum also gave us some advice on the food/feeding aspect. Not to worry too much, he will eat if he is hungry and so on. We do not bother to try to get him into his seat anymore, he will join us when he is ready. That works too. Once you leave the table, you have finished eating does not work here. He is far too energetic. Even when he is on his seat, he does not sit still. In fact, he does not sit for long at all, generally climbing up, standing, dancing, then down again.. always in motion.		Having parents visit was great.

	I periodically try to sit down with flash cards, or any activity similar to that, to try to see if we can do "learning activity". But that never seems to work. That idyllic image you get on the flash card advertisements just do not seem to happen. He much rather just grab the cards off me, throw them, go pick them up and throw them again. He still does not want to be shown how to do things. Insist on learning himself. Still has a slight affinity for trains, both to take the trains, and to play with model trains. He has frequently been lying on the floor and driving the train right by his <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.thepiggybackrider.com/ <span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;/CITATION/">child carrier</span>]</span> face, back and forth. In the early part of the year we took the Shinkansen down to Nagoya, both to go to the Expo 2005, as well as a Wedding. We were not too sure how the journey would go, and how to fit in his sleeping but he is just perfect whenever we go on a train. We corner off our area of the seat (he is not allowed to go in the aisle) so he does not try to leave. Just hangs around, looking out the window or plays with his toys. Slept on his own accord when the time was right, and had a great time at Expo. He loved staying in the Hotel room, spent most of that time looking out the window from the 42nd floor. We tried to make a bed for him on the floor but he would have none of that. Climbed up and slept with us. That's when we find out just how much he fidgets, turns and messes around before he falls a sleep. Not to mention all the turning and kicking during his sleep. He might have inherited the curse I had as a child. It always took me 90minutes to 2 hours to fall asleep. This was only slightly cured by having a child, it is down to just 40 minutes these days. He was a little bit hard at the wedding, but not really bad, just too much energy to sit still.

	Eating habits. He still loves his cheese, rice and potelongs. But he eats many more things when he feels like it. He does not eat sweet things still. When we go out for food, like Little One's cafe, or just a restaurant, he is great. No bad experiences at all, and he gets really excited when the rice is brought to the table. (yeah, that's right... rice.. ). He'll eat most things when we go out. About the sweetest thing he eats are bananas. We phased out the morning formula bottle fairly early on, and replaced it with just milk. He likes the routine of having the bottle still. That did significant improvements on his eating habits. Clearly he was just not very hungry for lunch due to it, and it would seem the formula is hard on his stomach anyway. (Which could be part to why he was always spewing). He still have formula for after dinner, however, we have already said that when the current can runs out, it will also be milk. That is just one or two nights away now.		Eating habits.

	~~[http:~~//~~www.ushka.net/gallery/ Ushka's Gallery]~~		=== (27/09/2005) ===

			Here we are, just after Lokien's second birthday. I have been stalling when it comes to updating this file. Initially it was just to write down all the details that I could remember from the birth, as I knew those memories would fade in clarity and specifics.

	~~Proposed 2008 [[2008_Holiday]]~~		However, Mum (Boel) encouraged me to keep updating it as she was interested in my experiences at bringing up a child. She was in the child rearing business for decades, but I guess it is something else when it is your own children. However, mum died in August which deflated my enthusiasm for this journal. But I decided to keep going.

	~~Proposed 2011 [[2011_Holiday]]~~		So here we are. Still having a great time, and strangely enough it is both much easier now, and much harder at the same time. I had my parents, and my brother's youngest child Rileigh, flown over in April. It was a fair bit of logistics, and wrangling but it was done in the end. It was the first time that my parents have visited where I live after I moved out from home.

			There was just no incentive for them to visit us living in London after all. I also wanted Lokien to spend time with his grandparents as Mum had been sick off and on for a while. The Doctor in New Zealand gave his permission, we could not get insurance for them, but went ahead anyway.

	~~Mum asked me~~ to ~~write down my experiences with~~ having a ~~child~~, ~~so I did~~ that, ~~and~~ for ~~some reason carried on doing it even after she could no longer read them~~.		They managed to get some good weather which was nice, perfect time for the cherry blossoms. Alas, the boy was having a teething episode at the time (why does he have those when we have guests? More on that in a bit) so he was not on his best mood. Of course when we said things like "this is the worst we've seen him" and having Mum just laugh, that is encouraging. (ie, we might be having it easy). He more or less just ate cheese for that week. I noticed that the last update was quite a while back,

	~~[[birth]] giving birth in Tokyo~~ as ~~a foreigner~~.		So, what can I remember over the last year. He walks, started around 14 months. I guess we'd given up waiting. One thing that appears clear is that he does not do something until he is sure he can do it. So he practises and practises for ever. Then, when he already can master it, he will use it. Due to that it seems it rarely, if ever, fell over from walking. Similarly, climbing, standing etc. His friends generally always had "learning bruises" which he avoided. .. but caution aside, he gets completely addicted as well. Once he would walk, he wanted to walk all the time. The it was running, and running everywhere. First it was amusing, you just walked fast to keep up. But since he got so much exercise from it and training, it was not long until I have to jog just to maintain speed.

	~~[[year~~ one~~]] first year~~ of ~~child rearing~~		Having parents visit was great. Having Rileigh around was really good as well, as he clearly changed to interact more. Had to do whatever she was doing. There were even signs of other emotions. Near the end he did not want to share a bath with Rileigh, but wanted to have one with us as normal. The idea that children can be jealous of their parents attention was new. Rileigh had some other rules, and restrictions. After lunch, you go to the bathroom, them you go to bed. We imposed this on Lokien as well, and it was the best thing ever. He is so much better with routine. He loves it, and we love knowing when he will sleep.

He was a little bit hard at the wedding, but not really bad, just too much energy to sit still.

	~~[[year three]] third year~~, ~~toilet training~~.		Eating habits. He still loves his cheese, rice and potelongs. But he eats many more things when he feels like it. He does not eat sweet things still. When we go out for food, like Little One's cafe, or just a restaurant, he is great. No bad experiences at all, and he gets really excited when the rice is brought to the table. (yeah, that's right... rice.. ). He'll eat most things when we go out.

(Which could be part to why he was always spewing). He still have formula for after dinner, however, we have already said that when the current can runs out, it will also be milk. That is just one or two nights away now.

	~~[[birth two]] detailing~~ the ~~birth~~ of the ~~second child~~		In September, Ushka's parents came for a visit. He picked this time to have the 2nd teeth thing. So there has been a few days of just eating cheese again. But beyond that, he has been just great. We went down to Hakone for a mini break, which includes the Romancecar Train, cable car, ropeway, switch back train, boat, and bus. He was great for all of it. We shared a room between all of us in true Japanese style, and that was fine too. He was last sleep and first awake. He was a little bit ratty for dinner, since that felt like a nicer occasion, so I just took him for a walk. Lunch and breakfast went well. We took his pillow with us then, which opened a whole new thing. Apparently he did not realise it was portable. So now, he takes the pillow with him everywhere. To watch tv, to chill, to play in his room, or on our bed. This teeth event was the first time when his bum was so sore I could not wide it clean. Had to hose him down in the shower instead. Poor guy. The other symptoms were non-existent however. No fever, runny nose etc. He has become more aware of what he wants however. If we go for walks and he does not get to go in the direction he wants he will sit down in protest. "Banana back" sometimes, but no real tantrums yet. They can be averted, or distracted away from it. When there is no leeway in what we are doing, he will give up after about a minute. When given the option of holding hands walking, or going in the push chair, he generally "gets it". Sometimes he is just too tired though. He frequently insists on everyone coming out on the balcony and run laps with him. That probably looks quite strange to the neighbours.

	~~[[year four]] first turns 4~~, ~~second turns 7 months~~. ~~Eye operation~~.		The speaking thing. He appears to be behind everyone else that we compare him to, not that we should compare him of course. He does not really speak. Sure he had words, many sound like the real words like "chhhhzzz" being cheese. "up" is just that. Some words are his own "golgo" for botbot. "Alldang" seems to be "again" or "one more time". Who knows. He is very chatty though, it is just that we don't quite follow what he is saying. He usually does the signs for things on baby Einstein before they come on the screen, so there is memory there. In fact, he appears to have a good memory. At one point he was doing some sort of sequence of moves. Eventually it became clear he was doing the "head, shoulders, knees and toes" song, quite out of the random. It was two days before that we last had done that song, so it would seem toddlers can get songs stuck in the heads just as much as grown ups.

	[[year ~~six]] first goes~~ to ~~school at 6~~, ~~and second~~ is 3.		Moving on to health. Touch wood and all that, but he has not been sick. I am unsure when the last time he was sick was. It was not this year, and yet, his mates seem to be constantly sick. Is this a good thing or a bad thing. Is it all just building up, or a sign of good immune system? We generally do not get sick anyway, both having fairly strong immune systems but still. There has been a couple of nights when he woke up crying, either spooked by something, or a bad dream. But he is not hard to settle.

			The second birthday itself. Did not have any cake of course, too sweet. Got far too many trains, but loves playing with them all. Especially the Thomas train with smoke. He is somewhat interested in the marble racer, but purely at watching. Quite a bit too young to get into the building the race track. Did not open any presents himself, but we did not really expect him to either.

	~~Back in 1998 or so~~, I ~~got~~ quite ~~sick~~, ~~probably both from an ulcer~~ and ~~my gallbladder stones~~. ~~I wrote a story about~~ that~~, which I will move in here~~.		It is not always easy to remember specifics, but over all it has been a good year. He has the nature of being happy which is nice. He occasionally will even hug back! Lokien is happy when I come home from work which is endearing and does not care at all when I leave. He needs breaks from us we have noticed, from time to time. Where he goes into his room and does his own thing for a while. That is quite interesting. Over all, he is tall, very strong and muscular, so when he does fight us - ooo wee.. although tickling works well for that.
