So just before we did Charlie’s Omiya Mairi, we went shopping for a stroller for him. The store had so
many different types of strollers, which made choosing difficult. Along with a bunch of accessories, there
some baby dolls to test out the strollers. These ‘test’ baby dolls looked like they had been doing their job
for far too long. Maybe it’s time they moved onto a different job. What do you think?

On January 17th Charlie, our baby, had his 100 day Omiya Mairi at a shrine in Yoyogi. Both our parents were able to come (My parents came over from Australia to join the ceremony). We had just bought the stroller for Charlie the day before. I remember that we arrived there just in time. The ceremony was held inside the shrine. When the Kannushi started to play the drums, Charlie got surprised by the sound. The Kannushi then gave his blessings. After that, we all sipped a little Sake from a dish.
