MY SISTER YOSHI’S BIRTH
by Taro Oike
At Yoshi’s birth, I remember I was excited about having a sister. I thought it was a sister. It was a quick birth, around thirty minutes long. Yoshi could not open her eyes for the first few days. It was the day of my soccer tournament. I came home and my mom was having contractions on the beach. Yoshi was born on May 27 at around 4 p.m. I remember her kicking from inside my mom’s belly and I heard her heartbeat and her hiccoughs. She is almost five and now I have fun with her!
