Himawari-chan and I will be returning to Japan tomorrow afternoon.

Sadaharu, could I be so kind as to ask you for a ride home from the airport?

I'm sorry I can't be there to help. I'll be home soon.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

It's fine, Genichirou. I hope you're enjoying your vacation.

[kobanemperor.livejournal.com]

I am! It's been very exciting! I have a lot to tell you!

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

I'm curious now. Be sure to let me know the moment you are back in Japan.

[kobanemperor.livejournal.com]

I should be home in a few days. I would like to meet Himawari-chan as well.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[prof-inui.livejournal.com]

I will pick up a child seat.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

I worry that there may not be room in your car, come to think of it. You do drive an exceptionally small one.

[prof-inui.livejournal.com]

I have already considered this. For your return, I will rent a car with a larger square footage.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Sadaharu. I will be sure to pay you back the cost of the rental.

[prof-inui.livejournal.com]

I can't let you do that. Consider it a greatly belated birthday present.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

Well, my data indicates I will be unable to convince you to allow me to pay, so I will agree to that. Thank you, Sadaharu.

[prof-inui.livejournal.com]

Your data is correct. Just send me the flight information.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

Of course. An email is on it's way to you now.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

Ahh, that's good. I hope that Himawari-chan settles down okay. I'll visit you guys the moment I return to Japan.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Seiichi.

[gekidazejanai.livejournal.com]

Hmm? I see Inui mentioning a child seat? Yanagi-san, do you have a kid? If you need anything, I think I have some of Arashi's old clothes in storage. And if you're in Tokyo, I can give you some tips on places to get good deals at.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've rather suddenly found myself a father.

I wouldn't be opposed to any advice you might have to offer. I understand that you have far more experience in this matter than I do. And yes, I'm in Tokyo. Near Todai.

[gekidazejanai.livejournal.com]

How old is your daughter?

There are some good parks near there with nice playgrounds that she might enjoy.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

Two and a half. She is very articulate for her age.

Yes, I've passed several such parks. I've also gotten on the waiting lists to some of the top daycare centers in Tokyo.

[gekidazejanai.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's a fun age. Arashi is five, so we could get them together for a playdate if you're interested.

Maybe I'm just biased, but Munehiro's facility is really good. He's great with kids and the place is really nice.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a good idea. Himawari could benefit from interaction with other children.

Yes, your husband's center is one of the waiting lists I got on. It's got a decent sized wait list, though.

[gekidazejanai.livejournal.com]

You're a university teacher, right? On the off chance you don't get in at Hiro's center, is there a daycare where you work?

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

There is a wait list for there too, actually. Most of the faculty gets on it when their child is first born. I, unfortunately, was not informed when Himawari was first born.

[gekidazejanai.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that. But you know now, and you'll get to watch her grow up. It goes by fast, just so you know.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

So I've been told. It seems a daunting task at the moment, however.

[demoneyesakaya.livejournal.com]

Ah, sempai, um. Are you back yet? I'd like to meet your daughter. Man, it feels so weird to say that. And you, of course! It feels like forever since we talked.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

Of course, Akaya. It would be wonderful to see you again, and I'm sure you're the type that gets along well with children.

[demoneyesakaya.livejournal.com]

^_^ Do you want to come over? She could meet Pochi and Niou-sempai and Yagyuu-sempai's kittens.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

A visit sounds like it would be lovely. And I'm sure that Himawari would love to see the kittens.

[demoneyesakaya.livejournal.com]

Okay! Let me know what day you want to come over so I can clean up the mess cook!
