19 May 2009 Zoe is Two
Zoe turns two today, although we had a party for her on Sunday since Maki keeps irregular hours on weekdays.
Here is the cake, a likeness of Anpan Man, a Japanese cartoon character made out of sweet beanpaste who lets people eat his face to help them recuperate from the scourge of Germ Man. All kids here LOVE Anpan Man, and Zoe is no exception. She make me draw his face over and over again. When I went and bought the cake at a local bakery up in the hills that is surprisingly excellent, I asked if they were paying a copyright fee for the likeness. The lady laughed, only a little nervously, and asked me not to turn them in. So, it’s a pirated cake, but it tasted great nonetheless.
Zoe’s present was a “big-girl chair” to match her brother’s, which she has been wanting to use more and more of late.
Of course, her favorite seat remains Mommy…
And she still crawls into Genbo’s chair besides him often as not. Here they started a game of “Peek-a-Boo” that quickly degenerated (especially on Genbo’s part) into general silliness.

I love the “Gen” and “Zoe” chairs. Did you make them?

Bought the chairs, bought the letters, bought the double-sided tape. :)
