This post I wrote last year: 

I am posting little girl’s early talents: removing and putting back her shoe, on her own!

Typical Japanese custom: in most buildings and in this gymnasium, we are required to have a separate shoe for the inside — and my little girl knows that very well!

Mighty proud of herself!

I am thankful that my daughter never resists the Japanese tradition inspite of having a non-Japanese mom. I am happy that she follows directions and acts on it cheerfully everytime.
