Nursery school measurements

At my nursery school they took our measurements every month. You can quickly see how much I’ve grown. I started out the school year at 72. 6 cm (28.58 in.) and 11.3 kg (24.91 lbs.). And I finished up the year at 85.4 cm (33.62 in.) and 13.4 kg(29.54 lbs.). That’s a lot of growing!

Akarinoko Album

Today was my last day of the school year and what a year it has been! I’ve grown up so much this one year at nursery school and the school and teachers were nice enough to put together an album to give a brief glimpse into the past year. Take a look!

Not being lured into the bath

I was having such a good day that I didn’t want to take a bath. Daddy tried to lure me there by being silly and sliding. across the floor on his back to the bathroom. I did not fall for it and put an end to his silliness. I told him clearly that I didn’t

Pudding (flan) reward

Daddy let me choose a special dessert for being such a brave and strong boy during my vaccination today. I chose pudding (flan) since I’ve had it with kids’ meals at restaurants and have really enjoyed it! I enjoyed this one too, signing “oishii!”

Park, train & plane, slides and bubbles

On the way home from the clinic where I got a shot for my third Covid vaccination, Daddy and I stopped by a park. The weather was very nice and Daddy was so proud of me, that we thought it would be fun to spend the rest of the afternoon at the park. I spotted

Getting a shot

Daddy picked me up early from school today so that I could go and get my third Covid shot. Mommy and Daddy both prepared me by explaining what would happen and how the shot would hurt, but only for a short time. I told them I understood and that I would be okay, but they

Watching old videos of me

We watched some old videos of me when I was younger. There were some when I was so small that I couldn’t do anything. I was still really interesting though, and Mommy and Daddy couldn’t keeps their eyes off of me. We also watched some more recent videos of me and those were even more

Farm animals in a wagon

Just playing a bit with my farm animals before dinner. Okay, dinner’s done!

Visiting Jiiji and Baaba

Mommy picked me up early from school today so that we could visit Jiiji and Baaba. We’ve been seeing them a lot these past few months. We took a couple of trains and a bus to there house. I don’t often get to ride public transport so I really enjoyed the ride! I also really

Arriving at school

I’m getting to be more and more independent and want to do a lot more things for myself. Like when we get to school, I like to sit down, take off my shoes, and put them in the shoe box. I sometimes a little bit of help, but for the most part I can do

Playing with sand

When we went to the park today, our teachers brought a bunch of beach toys so that we all could play in the sandbox at the park. We had a fun time, but I felt like something was missing. Before when I played in the sand it was on the beach in Hawaii and the

Touching the light

Now that it is spring, it is a lot brighter in the morning. When Daddy opened the window this morning, light just poured in. There was so much of it, I wanted to touch it!

Breakfast couch

I ate my banana and yogurt in my highchair as usual, but after I finished eating that, I wanted to get out. That didn’t mean I was done eating, I just wanted to eat on the couch.

Exercise with Daddy

After dinner I read books with Daddy, but then I was feeling that I needed some exercise. After all, I ate a very big dinner! So Daddy showed my some exercises and I copied him. Not only was it a lot of fun, but it was good for our health!

Steering on school walks

Yep, I’m still steering my steering wheel instead of sharing it with someone else on our walks. It’s okay, we had enough handles for everyone, even with me taking this one all to myself.

Flowers at school

I like to say good morning to the tulips outside of my school. They are always so bright and happy early in the morning and greet my with gleeful colors. This is a good way to start my school day.

Checking medical cards

When we got home I went through Mommy’s mommy bag and found an organizer with all my medical cards and records. I went through it to make sure everything was in order. Yep, everything looks good. Now I can play.
