I know I post almost every day about Mio, and most of you must be sick of hearing about her and seeing her… but she is constantly doing such interesting new things these days that I want to record it here, at least so that we can remember it ourselves. And of course, to show our doting family members who are too far away to see Mio all the time.
So here I am, sharing yet another video clip of our daughter. Lately, she likes to bring over items and hand them to us, and enjoys hearing us say “thank you, or when I speak Japanese to her, “arigato.” She often reacts to our thanks by lowering her head and burrowing her face in her hands in an “aww shucks” sort of way, as if she’s being bashful. We tried to capture it on video, but this time she ended up doing more of a bow of acknowledgment, as if to say “you’re welcome.” (I’m speaking to her in Japanese in the video, but the words are simple enough and you can get the general gist of what’s going on.) Without further ado, here’s yet another daily dose of Mio!
