chibiguri (ちびぐり)

We took chibiguri out shopping today. He usually enjoys being pushed around in a stroller, but if we remain out too long, he will become fussy and demand that we take him home. Today we were shopping for a bridesmaid dress for Mrs. Gankomon, who has been asked to be a bridesmaid in one of our friends' weddings.

We went to the local David's Bridal, where the girls became engrossed in their selections, and I was watching over chibiguri. He was pretty good, but i think that the heat got to him a little bit, since he woke up and voiced his displeasure with the situation. Fortunately, I was able to make him comfortable by removing him from his stroller and rocking him back and forth. He likes to be rocked- in fact he enjoys any type of movement. It is stoppage he appears to object to!

Riding in cars is a case in point. Whenever he is moving in the car, he is happy. However, let us stop- even for a short time at a signal, and he will become unhappy, demanding that the car commence moving again. However, as soon as the car does so, he will relapse into a state of quiet enjoyment.

chibiguri is an incredible adventure. I still wish he came with a glossary, though!
