When our son was born, G-chan put up a flagpole in our backyard and gave us the family koinobori. This year, our son was so excited when it was time to bring out the koinobori, and extra excited that he was big enough to help G-chan with stringing them up! He loves to watch them swim in the sky while singing the Koinobori song.
