visiting shrine

 It was just 100th day after Waka was born today. We visited local shrine and prayed to be given happy and healthy life. Then, we picked up some small stones for “Okuizome”. Do you know about the old Japanese custom called “Okuizome”? It is a ceremony held on 100th to 120th day after a new baby's birth. In this ceremony, the baby is made to pretend to eat a meal with parents' hope that this baby will never need to worry about food during a lifetime.

After coming back home, I felt headache for lack of sleep and took a nap for an hour on my bed. After that, I felt a little better and cooked dinner as usual. Then, I enjoyed two English lessons and went to bed at 10 o’clock in the evening. However, I couldn’t get to sleep because I studied English until just before I went to bed and my brain was so excited.
