Kento no tanjobi

A few hours before my wife’s contractions started, a yamori (house gecko) visited. They are considered to bring good things and to watch over the house. A year on and perhaps by coincidence, we had one appear at about the same time. Last year’s on the left and this year’s on the right.
In the morning Kento opened (with some help), his birthday cards and presents. He got a little excited and was sick on his Thomas The Tank Engine card, it wiped off though.
After a few photos, I had to leave, to conclude securing my first job over here. In the afternoon, I set about making a couple of chocolate sponge cakes. The whisked sponge wasn’t helped with the layer of nashi pear that was stuck on half way through cooking. The other a bit heavier, with butter, managed to rise.
When I was burning myself getting the second out of the oven, the phone rang. It was a school offering a days work. It’s been eighteen months without as much as a whiff.

Thank you for that. Kento had a good day and his MMR jab today
But he was very brave and didn’t cry - until his Mum went to volleyball.

Kento looks very healthy! Hope you all had a fun time on his birthday. Interesting about the gekos, they came back to wish Kento a happy birthday too. Good luck with the job stuff, bet that Kento has enjoyed having you around.

Haven’t really been too keen on getting a job. I wanted to spend time together, it has passed so quick though.
