cars2
TSUTAYA was giving out Cars 2 stickers!
Yippee! It'll be in theatres next July!
kaito was getting excited just by seeing the stickers (LOL)
TSUTAYA was promoting Cars 2 along with Toy Story 3's DVD so
you can probably get the stickers at your nearby TSUTAYA too.

christmas party
Sota & kaito had an early Christmas party with good friends.
There was 11 adults & 8 kids so we rented the party space and kids room in kaito's complex.
Sota mommy's carrot cake
kaito mommy's bagna cauda
lamb, lasagna, shrimp and lots of other delicious dishes that all the mommies brought.
mommies drinking champagne and talking, kids having fun playing in the kids room.
just getting together is fun but the main event of the day was...
Santa coming to visit the party!
Sota was thrilled to get an Anpanman gift.
kaito seemed a little scared of Santa but wanted the Thomas gift
Seems that that night all the kids were talking about Santa.
It must have been a memorable party for the kids.

Sushiro
A fun lunch place to go is Sushiro, a rotating sushi restaurant.
It was Sota's first time and he seemed to have a lot of fun!
All the plates are 100 yen, so the parents can let the kids eat whatever they want without worrying about the price.
They also have udon in the menu, in case your child can't eat raw fish.
Another family friendly reason is that they have a few tables connected to the conveyor belt.
Weekends are crowded with families so go early or for a late lunch to avoid waiting.

Disney's CARS
kaito loves Disney's CARS so I've been on the search for the CARS sneakers (in size 14).
Online and even the stores were always sold out so as my last resort I actually called the company that sells the shoes↓
http://www.moonstar.co.jp/
to track down when & where the new stock will be arriving.
Finally after 2 months we got a pair!
He's been wearing it all day so it was totally worth the wait.
kaito also loves his CARS tableware which is sold at DAISO 100 Yen shops.
And rumor has it that CARS 2 will be coming to theaters next summer so I'm hoping it'll be easier to get CARS stuff in Japan.

BOOK-OFF SUPER BAZAAR
We recently went to the newly opened BOOK-OFF SUPER BAZAAR in Kawasaki Minatocho.
Unlike the store name BOOK-OFF, it's not only books but alot of other used stuff.
The stores are limited but some have kids clothes, baby supplies, toys and of course kids DVDs, CDs and book.
Even though it's used alot of the stuff is in good shape and of course cheaper than the original price. They have pretty much everything from baby strollers, bath items, hats, shoes, baby carriers and etc.
Kids grow out of their clothes and items so fast so why not get it for cheap or sell the stuff you don't need anymore.
Check the site to see which store close to you sells/buys kids clothes and items.

The BOOK-OFF in Kawasaki Minatocho is right next to Ito Yokado so after an afternoon of shopping,
we had lunch and let the kids play in the game center.

LEKUE Ice Cream Molds
Even though summer is over,
kaito is always saying "ice, ice".
Unfortunately, they don't sell MUJI'S 100% fruit ice which he loves so
I bought Lekue's ice cream molds 
It's 3500 Yen for a set of 4
which they don't sell at stores (cause it's out of season)
but luckily I found it on the net.

kaito seemed confused at first but loved it.It's easy to make and great cause you can use 100% juice.
So even though winter is right around the corner our freezer will always be stocked with kaito's favorite ice.
