Just packing the essentials as we head out to dinner. The essentials are of course snacks.

I practiced using chopsticks today. It was the first time I had a go at it and I think I did pretty good. It is slow work and a bit difficult, but I really want to get the hang of it. I think I want to keep practicing, as long as I’m not too hungry,

I wanted to get out of the house this morning so Daddy and I went for a quick trip to the park, but not without my tractor. After my snack we played on the slide, ran around a bit, and had our usual park fun. Then we went for a bit of a walk before

I was so attached to Daddy today, that I wouldn’t let him out of my sight even to brush his teeth this morning. So we brushed our teeth together. We’re not just buddies, but brushing buddies.

It is tradition for Setsubun to eat a certain rolled sushi for good luck. You are usually supposed to eat the long sushi without talking facing the designated direction for that year, all for good fortune. But since I am still small and there is a choking hazard, Mommy cut my sushi up into small

Today is Setsubun. So at school today, we chased away the oni, or evil spirits, by throwing beans at them. Well, we didn’t use beans. We actually used rolled up paper balls. That’s a good thing too because I don’t think beans would have done the trick. The oni was pretty impressive. Of course, a

When Daddy comes home we have a great time playing. We usually play with cars, which we did today as well. But sometimes we get a little more active. Wheeeeee!

Despite my vaccination today, I was in a pretty good mood. And I was hungry. Luckily, Mommy prepared a very big meal for me that I ate all up! And now I am in an even better mood!

Mommy picked me up early from school to go get my 2nd vaccination. Of course, I cried I bit, but I recovered quickly. Especially because Mommy and I had a nice snack outside right after. This is nice.

I woke up this morning in a pretty bad mood. I was playing here and there, but the littlest things set me off. I decided to roll the coffee table out to the entranceway for some reason. It didn’t work out the way I wanted it to, so I had a bit of a tantrum.

As usual, I followed Daddy’s march to the bath and as usual I was going to stop Mommy from entering the bathroom. But then Daddy needed my help. I was torn for a moment. I didn’t know if it was more important to help Daddy or keep Mommy out. I’m a good helpful boys so

I like to walk a lot more now. So Mommy let’s me walk on our way home after school. She let’s me walk in the morning too, but I usually get distracted or upset about something so she often has to pick me up at some point and carry me the rest of the way.

When we go for our walks I’m still in the stroller instead of the buggy. It’s pretty nice. It’s like business class vs. economy. I definitely have a lot more leg room and the seat is more comfy too!

I’m awake and fed, but not quite ready to face the day. I’m just taking some quiet time and watching my shows as I prepare to face the day.
