March 2023

The cherry blossoms are so short lived. They are already falling off of the trees because of the rainy weather we’ve been having. They are in full bloom for about a week and then they fall off and are absent for another year. I’m glad we got to see them on our walks when the

You never know what I’m going to end up playing with when I get home. Most of the time I play with my cars, but sometimes I like to play with my Legos, doggies, or train set. You never know. Sometimes I don’t even play with toys and all I want is to read books

There is so much to see on my walk home from school. Of course, I love seeing all the vehicles. I point them all out and wave goodbye to the special ones like buses! I also like spotting the vending machines along the sidewalk. I only stop to inspect the Pepsi vending machines. I point

It was another rainy day today so we couldn’t go for our walk and play outside. We still had a lot of fun playing indoors and we had book time. Our teachers read us a big version of The Very Hungry Caterpillar which we all loved. See, look how big! We all tried to make

I really enjoy playing with and taking care of my dogs. I also like when they take care of me as well. Sometimes I make them change my diapers, change my clothes, and read books to me.

I’ve always enjoyed playing with my wooden vehicles, but recently I’ve also been playing with my blocks as well. Look at me stack them! But I still play with my vehicles more.

Our walks in the park are getting much prettier! The sakura (cherry blossoms) are beginning to bloom. It is such a pretty pink! It really is starting to feel like spring.

Look! I have a milk mustache! So now that I have a mustache like Daddy, how do I get a beard like Daddy? Maybe I should try to get milk all over my chin. I’ll try that next time. I’m sure that will make Mommy very happy.

Today is a national holiday, so I don’t have school today, but it is also very rainy, so I can’t go outside. It is a day full of eating and playing with my toys. The simple things in life are sometimes the best.

There is progress being made with potty training, but not by me.

Sometimes my normal breakfast is not enough for me so I am still hungry. I usually get soup, cheese, or cheerios. Today I got Cheerios and ate them while watching TV. But those little O’s were cheerier than I expected and a few got away from me. Sometimes I’m still hungry and have to supplement

Two spoons, more food, double the joy!

The weather was so nice today that we all enjoyed a lovely walk! We were so happy since we didn’t have many walks last week because of a the rain. Even though I like playing at school, I must say that I prefer sunny day walks to rainy day indoor play!

Today we went to visit a new outlet mall! It was complete last year and Mommy and Daddy hadn’t been there yet. It was an exciting trip because I haven’t left the city except to visit Baaba and Jiiji and to visit Grandma and Grandpa. This is my first trip to Kitakyushu! And Daddy hasn’t

I caught Mommy taking pictures of my eyelashes again. She is obsessed with them. I think she is a bit jealous. My lashes are full and long, which seems to be a sought after feature. I wouldn’t know about that, but they do keep sweat and dust out of my eyes, so that’s a plus.

We went to Royal Host, a family restaurant, for dinner. I’ve been here before and this is where I learned to like french fries and other fried foods. I was so hungry that I had to make do with water until my food came. While waiting I also did the search-and-find on the menu and
