1) While absolutely gorgeous, my daughter has some issues with personal hygiene - does not like baths. No, why be coy about it - she despises baths - starts shrieking at the sight of the water and will not stop until she is safely in the towel and out of the bathroom. Same for teeth brushing, without the screams. Just shuts her cute little mouth shut with all the strength she has.
2) Doctor visits will be an issue. While at the exam needed for the consulate, she howled, threw herself around and basically made every other parent waiting grateful she wasn't theirs. She even made me cry.
3) Never, ever, ever wake my daughter from a nap. She does not like it and will make that fact known to everyone on the very small bus we took to the Buddhist Temple.
But other that that, she is a total and complete joy.

Note to new mom:
Buy kids electric Elmo toothbrush and Crest toothpaste for kids (Japanese water is NOT flouridated).
Buy shower crayons that write on body and walls in shower (very cool).
Realize that daughter is extremely intelligent for noticing that many doctors are pains in the ass (literally and figuratively).
Never wake anyone from a nap!
LOVE YOU
all notes gratefully accepted - bought a plastic book for the tub that seems to help, for awhile anyway...
