At our local favorite family-friendly sushi joint, Mika's, there sits Leif's new best friend - a Maneki Neko (good luck kitty) that Leif affectionately refers to as Mao Mao. While we wait for our dinner, Leif coos to the Maneki Neko, hugs it and kisses its whiskers - sometimes he would rather sit next to the statue than eat his dinner (which Mika's makes custom for Leif - toddler serving sizes of sticky white rice with chicken drizzled in Teriyaki sauce and cucumber slices on the side).
Please let us know if you spot a good deal on a Maneki Neko bank.
