What is Totsuki Toka YOKOHAMA?

"Totsuki Toka YOKOHAMA" is a collection of poems for babies during pregnancy and from moms, dads, Baba, and Jiji with 0-year-olds, and is published as a collection of poems.
Since 2007, Yokohama City has been recruiting poems and publishing and distributing poetry collections in cooperation with the Totsuki Toka Yokohama Executive Committee.
Words that spell the joy of pregnancy, the excitement of childbirth, the pleasure and confusion of raising children are wonderful gifts for babies, and at the same time, valuable plays a valuable role in sharing the dreams and hopes of raising and raising children throughout society. I think it will play.
A message of love given by moms, dads, Baba, and Jiji of Yokohama to babies-This initiative reaches not only those who are raising children but also all citizens surrounding children, and warmly watches the healthy growth of children. I hope that the feeling will spread.

Introduction of works

Impressions of the poster
ImpressionsImpressions

A small and soft child moves around, grabs things by hand, stands on his own feet, and shows the best smile every day.
I have a happy time every day, and I am really grateful for the birth of my child. It's my parents' duty to protect this smile.
●9 months bear

In just six months, I had forgotten my feelings at that time.
But this poem is not a lie. It really happened.
I made my feelings firmly and it was a wonderful memory.

●1 year and 2 months old Yoshiko

My son was born at 1,300g. It was a day of feeling guilt and anxiety about being born small.
His son is now three years old and is growing up so well that he forgets that he was a premature infant.
When I return that poem, I remember the year I walked with my son in trouble. It's a year full of memories.
●3-year-old Kaori Mom

Poetry to a child who applied for Totsuki Toka encourages occasional bearer during childcare.
A child-centered life, balancing work and childcare
I often feel that it's hard, but in such a case
When I remember the poem, the thoughts at the time I wrote were clearly revived and made me feel like "Let's do my best!"
●3 years old father

It was a year of struggling with unfamiliar childcare, but I was impressed by my son's growth.
I feel the importance of life even after the earthquake and how I am raising children in my blessing.
I also sincerely respect and appreciate that I became a mother and my deceased mother also raised me with great care.
I wanted to talk more with my mother.
●1 year old sunflower

From pregnancy to childbirth to the present, there were a lot of difficult things, but I was irritated, but every day I feel that it was strange that I met you every day is "the best happiness that I was able to meet you."
It was really painful to recall "sickness", "birth", and "graduated milk" now, but it was
Good, be your mom. You will continue to struggle with raising children.
I'm glad I was born by a woman. Thank you for being a mom.
●1 year and 9 months old

If you read Totsuki Toka when you are tired of raising children, you will recall the beginning of pregnancy and childbirth.
Your mother's heart, "Let's keep your lovely child forever." I feel it again.
My child wanted to see him all the time after he knew he was pregnant.
I am grateful that the child has grown so well, and I will continue to do my best in the future.
Being posted on Totsuki Toka was a good memory for the whole family.
●3 years old, 1 year old Koimiki

When I wrote it, I was somewhat ashamed of me, but when I read the completed booklet, I was very proud.
The poems of others are warm, and I still read them many times.
I'm often frustrated after the three-year-old rebellion period, but when I read Totsuki Toka, I was in my stomach for 10 months.
I just remembered that I was grateful for being born, I was able to switch my feelings, and became a nutrient for my child-rearing mom. Now, the second person is pregnant and the moon is coming.
I want to write it again for this child.
●3 years and 4 months old
