Roo is five years old! Or as he likes to respond in Japanese, "go sai". Something about the Japanese response is more fun to say. Maybe it's the "go" for "five" that is also in the "Go Speedracer" song. 
got a little sticky,
opened presents, 
which included a space station, 
and baddy (short for bad guys) aliens, 
and had dinner with friends. 
Going to bed tonight, Roo commented, "it was the best birthday ever!". However, there was a sad moment. We bid farewell to very good friends, Jennifer, Arny and Ariana. Wednesday they leave Japan for the USA. As Ariana was leaving, Roo understood the reality of what our "see you later" meant and started crying. Since our arrival in Japan, he and Ariana have played together often. They were one of the first families we got to know. And, I'll miss Jennifer. Conversations on the phone, spontaneous play times at the park, and various "girls out" happenings. And Ryan will miss good conversation with Arny. Thank goodness for Internet video and Vonage telephone.
