10年住み慣れたロサンゼルスで培った「ライターというキャリア」の追求と愛する夫と息子の「妻&母親業」。日本に帰国してフルタイムで職場に通う訳でもないが、セレブ主婦のように時間を持て余すなんてことができない自分のことを「中途半端」とネガティブに感じていた。そんなある日友人たちが「それこそハイブリッドな生き方!」とポジティブな言葉で励ましてくれた。子供を保育園に預けてまで仕事をしたくないけれど、お小遣い稼ぎという意味だけの小遣い稼ぎでは不満。社会との繋がりや将来のキャリアも追求した毎日を過ごしたい。だからこれからは堂々と胸を張ります。これこそ目指したい今時の欲張りな女の生き方。そう私は「ハイブリッドママ」。

[10-05-10] The last session of the first mommy & me
We've been taking Mommy & Me class at Bright Beginnings and Beyond in Santa Monica as soon as we're back from Japan this summer. (8 weeks session/$100)
Since Kai was just turned 4 months, and most of the kids in a class were about the same or bit older, it turned sooo much fun!
We did singing with babies and learning sign languages (three at every class), then discuss with some issues or exchange information about useful tips and/or toys.
Since teachers planned "mommies' night out" during the course, we could go out together, and spent sometimes together.
Now I could make many mommy friends, and my son got many same age friends. Since they are too little, they won't be able to play together yet, but I'm going to take next class which is for 6-12 months old class, and some of them will continue to take this class. So our bonding and pretty sure kids' bonding will be tight!! It is so fun to see all these small kids growing together.
Today my son shook hands with the girl next him, while they were laying down.
It was so cute, and me and her mom was smiling what they did!
That is the moment, you know.
Here is my son's favorite toy/tooth brush that I got to know from the teacher of my class.
BANANA BRUSH!
Since my son doesn't have any teeth yet, but he can use it as a toy, and seems like it very well :)
There are few kinds of banana brushes in the world, but my son loves this!
