Kumon - pursuing my Japanese studies

My baby has grown up and has become very loving and understanding. Though there are times when he throws tantrums, he is well-behaved most of the time.

After 7.5 months of hiatus, I decided to do some new activity. I thought I will pursue my Japanese studies. I inquired at the KUMON centre for Japanese studies. They said that I could join them after giving a test to check my current level of Japanese. Now the point was, who will take care of my baby while I am away. It was getting difficult to find day-care centre in the place where I live, as they are already fully occupied. When I asked the teacher, she said I can keep my baby near me in the class. So that was it. Richie and I are both learning Japanese together. He loves to be in the class, watching what people are doing and learning Japanese too. It is like 2 people are studying in the cost of 1 (just kidding);).
