Ready to fly!

My baby got his passport!!!
We will be going to Italy next month so he will need his shining new, 5 years passport!! For the moment we only applied for the Japanese one since it was easier to make without having to go all the way to Tokyo. But since our baby is also an Italian, this means he can ALSO get his Italian passport. What a luxury!!! No need to choose for now. We will think about it when he turns 18 or 20 years old. The funny and odd thing is that, based on the italian law, Chris can keep the double-nationality Italian-Japanese without having to choose once reached the adult age. However, for the Japanese law, he cannot be a "double" and must decide eventually.
I hope that before that time, in 20 years, the two countries will decide for a common solution and hopefully towards the italian side of the situation!!! Until then....oh well, we'll see!
Though, one thing I have always wondered is: How can you recognize the baby from the picture taken 5 years before? In 5 years babies change, develop, transform completely.
I think the immigration officers often use their imagination on this....!

風邪は大丈夫ですか?
私も喉が痛くなってきたよ・・・ナツも鼻水たらたらです、芸術的です。

ロクサンナにもメールしてみようかな。

先日パパとbaby同士が会ったみたいで、話を聞いて笑いました。

お互い頑張りましょうね!!
