It's been a week since Gigi arrived in Japan, and Lily immediately remembers Gigi from when they met on Cebu Island and is now completely affectionate towards her.
Two people playing wildly in the park.
Even if they don't speak the same language (though I suppose they do understand Japanese to begin with?), they spend more time together every day than I do...
Furthermore, Lily has recently been able to understand instructions in English quite well.
This is an evening walk.
She's posing in front of daffodils, but her eyes are closed.
I feel like I could fall asleep in front of the Spiraea thunbergii.
Actually, we went to Mount Rokko and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, and on the way back, Lily was fast asleep in Gigi's arms.
It might be the first time in two years that we've seen Lily sleeping so soundly in her mother's arms.
While I'm happy about it, I also have mixed feelings about it.
After all, I'll be going back to Cebu in about three weeks.
