Joey getting excited about putting washing out!!
Last weekend we went to Kanoya to stay with D`s Mum. I also caught up with one of my old students and on saturday night D and I left Joey with his Mum for a couple of hours and went out on our own for the first time since Mr T was born. It was a fun couple of hours and it was nice to visit old haunts and talk about dreams and plans for the future. We have both been very stressed and tired lately and to be honest, he has been a bit of an arsehole on and off so it was nice to have some "us" time.
Last night I left Joey with D when I went to teach and I was just parking my car when I got a frantic call from my husband asking where the hell I was. I wasn`t any later thanusual so I was very worried and rushed up the stairs to find a screaming baby and a very stressed husband! Joey had woken up about 20 minutes earlier and wouldn`t stop crying apparently. He wasn`t hungry, he wasn`t wet or sick that we could see and as soon as I picked him up, he stopped crying so our guess is that he has separation anxiety. Problem is that my husband is now refusing to look after the baby in case it happens again!! :-( As I still have four more evening classes before my student quits to concentrate on her studies for the university entrance exams next year, he is going to have to suck it up and deal with it but I know how frustrating it is when the baby won`t stop crying. The thing that annoys me is that he gives up so easily! I am willing to bet that Joey would have calmed down sooner or later but my husband decided that putting him in the crib in a darkened room would help. This only served to make Joey more frantic!! Not sure how we are going to resolve the situation but my guess is that D should try spending some time with Joey for once, rather than running off to Pachinko every weekend! (but that is another rant for another day...)
Joey is getting really good at walking along with his push-toy. Like illahee`s son Hiro, Joey walks along real;y fast and then hits a wall or some obstacle and gets angry!! I spend most of the day jumping up to turn him around!!! He also uses his walker as a push-toy and that works better because when he hits an obstacle, he walks around it to the other side and starts again! It is very cute!! As you can see from the picture above, he is very proud of himself!!
This is a picture I took this morning.. my little boy is growing up so fast!!!

yoshi also gives up too easily! >:( just because mommy is around, that doesn't mean daddy can't do his part!! uh-oh, i better not start ranting!!
He is very adorable...how old is he now? From what age (and to what age) do they have separation anxiety?
What a cutie! I'm still the one who has to go get ds at night when he wakes up-just cries more with dh-could be because they haven't spent much time together??!
one of the nice things about not having any family in Japan is Li has no damn choice but to be daddy!
As for the screaming fits when he hits the wall, ya been there, I started trying to teach Ji how to turn it around, she was only just starting to understand the turning idea when she figured out how to walk on her own.
