good mm lesson

M did good homework.

M was pretty chill; she wasn't feeling 100% so we didn't do a ton, but had fun. I'm so lucky. :-)

toy shop near m and m lesson

##18:40 Tuesday 25 November 2014 JST##

I went to the toy shop near the Lotus dealership near Harajuku station. しばたさん recognized me, and I was all お待たせしました [sorry to keep you waiting] when I came in.

They have a cool set of blocks to make marble tracks, including some big ones with near-baseball sized wooden balls that roll down the paths.

I showed her a video of marble track 2, but certainly didn't make her sit through the whole thing.

She offered me a seat, though, when I got stuck trying to put together a take-apart puzzle. Basically two rings bent in two directions until they were horseshoe shaped. It took me far too long to figure it out; I was mm away from the solution, but hadn't wanted to squeeze them, which is what was required to solve it.

Next time I go in, I'll solve the next take-apart puzzle: two giant nails bent and interlinked.
