I was so happy to see that Daddy was home! I couldn’t wait and met him at the door. After he washed his hands we started to have some fun!

Obachan and Ojisan came to visit today! I was very happy to see them and we had a great time! We hung out and played a bit. I showed them my Christmas gifts and told them about our trip to Hawaii. Then I showed them how silly I could be. They thought it was funny!

Mommy and I went to Hatsumode, first shrine visit of the year. We had to go without Daddy since he was at work. He even went to work yesterday even though it was the day after we got back form Hawaii. Don’t worry Daddy, I prayed extra at the shrine just for you.

I love all kinds of vehicles, but I am quite into trains these days. Some of my favorite videos to watch on YouTube are train videos. Everyone in Grandma and Grandpa’s house quickly learned my sign language for trains meant that I wanted to watch train videos, especially Shinkansen videos. I had seen them before

I’ve met Ojisan several times and I’m starting to get used to him and familiar with him. We went to visit Baaba and he joined us since he is visiting from Tokyo. I don’t cry with him anymore. We are starting to figure out how to interact with each other. It may take a little

I missed my toys while I was gone. I only had about a week with my Christmas gift from Mommy and Daddy before we left for Hawaii. It is nice to be able to play with it again. Also my cars from my Hot Wheels advent calendar. Now what do I play with next?

Well, we’re back in Japan. After such a long day traveling and going to bed so late you would think that I would sleep until noon, but no I didn’t. I woke up maybe just a little bit later than my usual wake up time. I was well rested and in a good mood, not

I was very excited for our last flight home. I don’t mind flying at all and I don’t even mind waiting for flights. That just gives me time to look at a lot of airplanes! While waiting, Daddy took me to the gift shop and let me pick out a little toy because I was

We were ready to take off and I wanted to make sure that everyone was here. Mommy and Daddy were on the flight, but where were Maimai and Tata? I misunderstood when they said they were going home on the same day as us. They were taking a different flight to their home, not the

We were lucky that our next flight’s gate was very close to our departure gate. So we were able to make it there on time. Actually, we had just enough time for all of us to have a snack. I had my Anpanman biscuits and Mommy and Daddy had a sandwich that they were going

We safely got on our first flight and I was very excited to be on an airplane again! I love flying and was having a fun time pointing out all the airplanes at the airport. Then we got some of my vehicle stickers out so I could enjoy other vehicles instead of just airplanes. This

We had a bit of a hiccup when leaving Kauai. We arrived at the airport to find that our flight had been cancelled. We had to stand in a long line to get a new fight. It was a long wait and I ended up falling asleep in my baby carrier. I think all of

Playing with Lauren to the very last minute before we have to leave.

I found out that we are heading back to Japan today. I heard that we were going home but I thought that meant Grandma and Grandpa’s house. Oh. I’m not sure I’m ready to head back.
