no snow but still cold

Things are going well here. I think we are all over our colds. Naoko is the only one still taking medicine. Last night Naoko's mom came over and reminded me of my mom in that she not only cleaned up a lot of our place but also rearranged and organised our kitchen, hallway and entrance. She really saved us.

On a side note. Noah is talking more but has taken to calling everyone "sensei" or teacher. He calls me, Naoko, and Naoko's mom all sensei. But he calls our Australian friend downstairs by his name 'Shaun.' When I point to myself and say "daddy" he points to himself and says "daddy." I don't know what I am going to do. A couple days ago I had parent teacher confrence at Noah's daycare. It went well and they said Noah is doing great and is progressing and discovering his own personality/identity. He is also getting ready to start potty training so we will start that after our trip.

Speaking of trip we are no where near ready but are looking forward to seeing everyone next week. Naoko is tired so she will need to rest while she is on our trip but I suspect once we are over there she will perk up and want to do many things.

Well take care. I will post more later. Time for dinner.
