May 14, 2002: The first "Mothers' meeting"
The first "Mothers' meeting" of the year was held today. The number of the attendant was member 8, guest 9, and kid 14. The meeting was turned to be lively. First we read "The field of heart" from the works by Motoko Hani.

The eight members brought-in the record of "Kids' meal and life time record" taken during the first ten days of May.

Each of them presented their experiences.
After the presentation, the life group demonstrated how to make fish-based stock.
We took brought-in rice ball lunch. Four dishes prepared by the life group, soybean soup were also served. The taste was good and all the people were satisfied.
After lunch, we exchanged today's impression each other. The common worries were such like that kid's nap time tends to become longer, and kids had to wait late in night to see their busy fathers. Kids have natural clocks in their bodies. We have to think about how we can make the clocks work healthy.
