I didn't return to my hometown this year for Golden Week. Instead, my one-year-old daughter and I video-called her grandparents every day. At first, she watched dubiously, but recently she's been calling them by her made-up names, "Jippa-" and "Mo-chan," when seeing their faces. The more time I spend with her, the more I realize my daughter's small growth steps. I would like to continue to find a lot of "the little happinesses" that we tend to miss during our normal busy days.
