March 3rd marked the annual holiday for Girls Day here in Japan. You can visit my post from last year for more details on the actual holiday and meaning. Anytime we can celebrate girls in our house, we take advantage. This year we bought Miyako the traditional doll set that families set out for the girls. A lot of the sets are very expensive and LARGE, but we found this cute little felt set that sat very comfortably on our TV stand. The best part is Miyako cannot break the dolls so she was able to actually enjoy them rather than be told "Miyako, don't touch the nice dolls." Miyako had to visit the doctor on the actual holiday so we celebrated a little late with our Dutch friends. I think the mamas enjoyed the cakes more than the girls, but it was fun nonetheless. We have a very special little girl. I did take the dolls down today while cleaning. I hope Miyako is not too disappointed. Supposedly if you leave them up too long your daughter will not get married. Our babysitter claims this is why her daughter is not married at 28. :) So, I took Miyako's dolls down while she napped. We will see if she notices.
