Animal Card Matching

Grandma has seen me match my vehicle cards and was thoroughly impressed! She was even more impressed to see me match a new set of animal cards right before her eyes. Maile and Lauren were impressed two and were very supportive of my efforts (both successes and failures).

Snow globe music dancing

Dancing to the music from the snow globe. By the look of it, I’m hearing it at a different speed than everyone else.

Around and around in the house

Grandma and Grandpa’s house has a very unique design where you can circle around from room to room. I enjoyed this feature during my last visit, but back then I was still crawling around. It is a lot more fun to be able to walk around and around from dining room to living room to

Kalapaki beach

There is not much I can say that can better describe our trip to the beach that you can’t see in the photos. We all had a great time and I am still pretty comfortable in the water! We had so much fun!

Backyard

I wasn’t a big fan of the grass in the backyard during my first visit to Grandma and Grandpa’s house. But with all the walking I have been doing since my feet really toughened up and I didn’t mind walking on the grass at all. Besides, I only had shoes and no slippers so it

Grandma and Grandpa’s house

I love Grandma and Grandpa’s house! Not only is it filled with family, but it is really big with a lot of things to do. First of all, there is a huge dining table for me to eat at and I love to eat! There is also a lot of places to sit with several

Christmas Morning on Kauai

By the time I got up, the rest of the household was already up for some time. There was a lot of excitement this Christmas morning. I was considering waking up earlier, but after such a long day of traveling, it was just not going to happen. But, I was happy to find that when

I love riding on airplanes

I was very excited to be on another plane so soon! But I was a bit disappointed that I couldn’t use the entertainment monitor or even lower my tray until we took off. Bummer. I love planes so much that even taxiing was fun. Especially since it was night and there were a lot of

Haneda

We arrived at Haneda airport without any problems. I enjoyed the flight and was really well behaved. I watched the entertainment system monitor, played with my stickers, played with some toys we brought, and I did not cry or fuss at all. When we got to Haneda I was quite hungry and it was way

Hele on to Kauai

There were a few hiccups as we started on our way to Hawaii. There was a slew of flight cancellations and delays this past week and we found out that one of flights fell victim as well. We were rescheduled and everything looked to be okay, but we were going to be leaving and arrive

Visit from Santa

It is my first day back on Kauai and I quickly got use to being at Grandma and Grandpa’s house again. It is so much fun to be there and I have my loving cousins always there to support and entertain me. I immediately felt at home and was feeling good about being there. And

Honolulu Airport (Hawaii time)

The best thing about traveling by plane is that when we land I get to see even more airplanes! I spent most of my free time at the airport near the windows looking at all the airplanes! We got through customs without trouble and were able to drop off our luggage right away, so we

Ready to travel

I got my backpack and I’m ready to travel!

Stickers for the plane

Daddy and I went to pick up my shoes from my nursery school and made a quick stop at the 100 yen shop to get me sticker book for the airplane. Not only did we get a sticker book but also a sheet of restickable stickers. I think this will be a nice way to

TV and cars while packing

Mommy and Daddy are finalizing our packing for today, so I decided to stay out of their hair and just watch a little TV and play with my cars. I can recognize when they are busy and I just play by myself for a while because I know they’ll play with me as soon as

Grandma and Grandpa’s house (Hawaii time)

We arrived at Grandma and Grandpa’s house and I was happy to see some familiar faces! We were greeted by my cousins and my Aunty Chris, whom I remember from my summer visit. And then I met my Uncle Matt for the first time in real life! We hit it off immediately! I remembered the

Big belly in the bath

When I take a bath it’s pretty easy to see how much I ate at dinner. Look at that tummy. But I must burn a lot of calories very quickly because my tummy is usually a lot smaller by the next morning even if I don’t poop. I eat a lot because it takes a

Big last dinner in Japan in 2022

We pretty much cleaned out our refrigerator in preparation for our trip tomorrow, so we went out to find sustenance. We went to a restaurant that had a really generous kids’ meal. Again, I think when they make these kids’ meals they are thinking about kids in elementary school, maybe around 10 years of age,

Cold winter

Man, was it cold today. It snowed quite a bit and it was really windy! I find the snow very interesting, but I don’t like it when it is flying in my face and making it hard to see. And it doesn’t look anything like it does on TV when it covers the ground and

Christmas party

We had a Christmas party at school today! It was a lot of fun! We had fun with stories and songs. And we even got to decorate a Christmas tree. I did really well because I already had done it at home. My teachers were very impressed. We also had a visit from Santa Claus!
