Can it really be the end of such a fun era? This morning, on another rainy Monday, Komaba International Playgroup celebrated in style the end of our colourful and unique Playgroup.
Miso Sensei braved the weather and abandoned poor Gen kun who fell sick at the last moment, to bring us the much anticipated "Magical Miso" - which was devoured by all. Akiko whipped up a great soup snack for us all. Thank you:)
Our kids yet again, showed how it is actually possible to eat EVERYTHING on the table in less than 3 nanoseconds and then come back asking for more. Kimiko's multi-lingual cake didn't stand a chance with Etienne and Daniel there.
Thanks to everyone who brought such great stuff to the buffet. We were spoiled with onegiri, wafers, veggy sticks for the miso dipping, fruit a-plenty and of course, lots of cake and cookies.
I have some really funny pictures of the "Graduation ceremony". My favourite is with Kent sleeping soundly in his mother's arms. Have a look at them on picasa:)
It was with much sadness that I announced our imminent departure from Tokyo. We've been here for three and a half years. Etienne and Daniel were born here and know no other "home". Komaba has become our home. And our neighbours and Playgroup buddies have become our friends. We will really miss you all:(
Please keep in touch and if at all possible, I'd love to see the Playgroup continuing. It's such a great group of people it would be a shame to see it end just because I'm leaving. You have each other's addresses, you see each other in the park all the time and you even have the CD. No excuses!! Maybe you could rotate the group and take it in turns to host? This is usually what happens with Playgroups of this nature. Go on..... Jump Jump Jump...... Dingle Dangle till your heart's content and most importantly, EAT CAKE whenever possible:)
I hope to see you all in the park when the weatehr picks up, so for now, it's "mata ne"... not "sayonara" just yet:)
Sayonara, bye bye, au revoir, Auf Weidersein, Ciao......
