What 2-year-old likes...

So, Rian doesn't really eat too many things... I've been wondering what 2 years olds in the world are eating. She seems to be growing ok, but it always occurs to me that she might not be eating healthy.
She eats rice with furikake, gyoza, humburger, udon(noodles), meat balls, katsu, curry rice... but it all depends on her mood. She loves most kind of fruits, and sweets. For now she loves ice cream!

She's been drinking this powder milk which seems better than regular milk, well that is what the doctor said at least until 3 years old because they are healthier.




Once Rian had to have her blood test, and the result wasn't too good, she needed more iron content especially and the doctor told me to give her more iron-included foods. And the powder milk seemed good too, after a few weeks I went to take her again and she had her test again, and the result turned out to be good. So since then she's been drinking it, but she is starting to like regular milk too.
This is her favorite milk for now...



This one is actually my favorite, too. They have iron content and calcium, so maybe healthy.
Rian needs to take more vegetables, but I know it's not easy... so I make up for it with vegetable juices. I think it works somehow. When does she start eating vegetables anyway?

Concert!

So here is a very famous and popular boy-group called SMAP (they are not boys any more though...), and I went to their concert last weekend! On Aug 27, 28.

Their tickets are very hard to get, but this time one of my friends got lucky and we made it!
It was more than wonderful! They sang about 40 songs and it took almost 4 hours, I spent such a great time with them. One of the member of SMAP... he kind of looks like my husband, as some people say so. Maybe his square-shaped face... Can you guess which one is that?


The concert started with this latest song called This is love...

Believe me, they are the most famous people in Japan!
I've been listening to their new album that's going along with their concert.


Finally!

So here I am, starting a new blog in English, which is that I've been wanting to for a very long time. My friend Monica wanted me to start it and this is the best timing. But to be honest, I have no idea where to start... I mean I have so many things I want to talk about, but just not sure where to start... Probably I need to ask Monica for a good start:)


Here is the book I've been so hooked on....




I started it only a few weeks ago, but I am almost finishing it! I LOVE Sophie Kinsella's books, and I think this one is my second favorite! The best one is of course Shopaholic series!







I don't know anyone around me who's reading her books and it's kind of sad.... having nobady to talk about her books!


Is anybody there who loves them?
