My son 1 year and 4 months old. In front of Sekku (The Boy’s Festival) decoration at Hotel New Otani.

　My recent challenge is struggling daily with the physical strength of 1 year old son. As my son is firmly built, he was fully able to go out with his own feet when he became 1 year old. And this was the beginning of the struggling days.
　Above photos are the ones when we walked to Hotel New Otani, which is usually about 30 minutes’ walk distance and we walked joining hand and hand together, taking more than twice as much time. As you can see, this 1 year old boy looks light hearted and not tired at all. On the contrary, he once took a pose looking into the camera, and the next moment he throws himself backward! (Refer to the photo below), mother’s arms are almost breaking down because of the instantaneous attack from 11.5kg weight boy (laughter).
　However, thanks to these struggling days, even without any physical training, as moderate load-factor is being applied all day long, I think both my physical and muscular strength have increased in power. I would like to further spend enjoyable and healthy struggling days with my son.

My son instantaneously sets out an acrobatic movement.

Without hesitation my son gave a throwing-himself-backward attack to his grandfather!
