A word from the person in charge - Yamashita’s Corner
Thank you as always. This is Yamashita, in charge of the newsletter.
The other day, I had lunch with my college friends. It was a stylish lunch at a child-friendly restaurant, and it also had a large play area where kids would love it. My friend’s children were not shy at all and boldly approached the bigger kids. They seemed to like high places too - a small back trying to climb while still holding a toy. It reminded me of my previous job. Since my college friend also works with children, the way she talks to them is exactly like a childcare professional. The kids ate heartily, and even before my friend finished eating, the “kid-watching team” switched smoothly. Even if you look away for a moment, someone is always watching - that kind of formation. I am surprised how those habits still remain, even after leaving the childcare field. Still, just having small children nearby makes me tense. You cannot stop worrying about injuries, like whether they might fall. (To all childcare workers and parents everywhere, thank you always.)
When I finally meet friends I have not been able to see often, sometimes they are already expecting their second child. I want to make sure I do not “fall behind,” and I also want to build up my stamina while I can.
