My Little Bird

13 July 2005

I received a huge parcel in the mail yesterday. From Japan! My sister sent me a birthday present – a gorgeous silky yukata (summer kimono), and some funky kimono fabric cuts she bought at the Asakusa markets.

I let Callum try on the yukata, and immediately he went “Raaawkk! Look mummy! I’m a BIRD!”
He ran around the house flapping his wings, swishing his tail, going RAWWK! RAWWK! and it was just so cute. Especially because he was still wearing his little red underpants.
