Mommy and Daddy were packing for our trip to Hawaii today. So I thought I ought to lend a hand. I’m not really sure how much help I was as I got into the suitcases and looked through things. It’s the thought that counts.

Despite how I look, I really do love our walks at school. There is so much to see and do, It’s just that sometimes I’m in deep concentration on our walks. Specially when I’m riding in the stroller instead of the buggy with others.

I like to observe and learn how to do things myself. Today I tried to put the lid on my mug all by myself. I’ve seen Mommy and Daddy do it hundreds of times but I figured that I should try it out myself. I didn’t quite get it, but pretty close.

Our teachers caught some cicada for us to take a look at.we were scared of them at first and then really interested in them. We even tried to touch them. They were still a bit icky, but also cool,

Obachan had to go home and that made me really sad. I was so happy to see her, and then she had to go. Luckily, we had several hours together, which was really nice. But a nice time together makes it even harder to say goodbye!

After catching up and playing in the living room a bit, we decided to go shopping. Obachan had some things to buy, so we headed to the mall. It was good to get out of the house. It was way to hot to go out to the park or anything, so the mall was a

Mommy and Daddy were very worried about this tiny rice mustache that I had. I think they didn’t want me to breathe in too deeply otherwise the rice would go right up my nose. They were able to remove the grain of rice before it had any chance to enter my body.

I woke up early and Obachan is visiting early this afternoon, so I figured that I should get my nap out of the way. It is surprising how quickly I can go to sleep when I want to.

I still love opening and closing the sliding door. I can do it for a very long time without getting bored. For some reason I find it very interesting. Instead of boring you with a 15 minute video, here is a timelapse video of one of my sliding door opening and closing sessions.

Nice lazy Sunday morning. Time to chill.

I was hiding behind a curtain (actually having a private bowel movement) when I heard the doorbell rang. Obachan arrived! I rushed to greet her and then escorted her into the living room. What a gracious host I am.

We started using a new brushing teeth timer. It is cuter and more visual, which is good because I do not understand numbers. The video shows a monster’s mouth with foam being brushed away. It worked and I gave up the toothbrush at the right time and let Daddy finish my brushing. So the timer
