Ramen

I had ramen for the first time today. Can you believe it? You would think that I would have had it a long time ago. I think Mommy and Daddy were hiding it from me because they knew that ramen is so delicious and I might not eat anything else after it. Well, they were […]

Cleaning the pool

Since I had had such a great time playing in the pool I thought I should help with the pool cleaning. I helped by playing in the pool again. Needless to say I got soaked and needed to change all of my clothes. Nobody said pool cleaning was going to be dry work.

Helping water the garden

I like to help Daddy in the garden. Today we took the water from the pool to water the garden. I did what I could to help by carrying a bucket of water to the plants. It was too heavy for me to pour, but I was still a big help! And as a reward

First breakfast done

First breakfast is finished. Now I take short break and wait until Mommy and Daddy eat breakfast and then it is time for second breakfast. I usually eat nearly half of Daddy’s breakfast, but recently his plate has a lot more food. I think he has been calculating how much I steal from his plate

Visit from Ojisan and (great) Obasan

We had a visit from Ojisan who was in town from Tokyo for a day. He had some miles he wanted to use up so he came to visit me. I was very good this time and did not cry at all. I was actually happy to see him and had fun interacting with him.

Brushing teeth timer

I have an app with a timer for when I brush my teeth. I am very good about brushing my teeth the recommended amount of time. But I also won’t start before the timer starts. 3…2…1…Start!

Happy to be home

As much as I love school, I love being at home with Mommy and Daddy. It is my place of peace and happiness. Especially when we take a break and watch some TV together as a family. (I choose the show, of course.)

Fencing

Taking up my usual position at the fence on our visit to the park so that I can spot as my buses and cars as possible.

Watching Mommy run to work

Some days Mommy has the early shift so as we are walking to school she heads off to the subway and goes to work and then Daddy drops me off at school. More often than not she spends every last second she can spare with me and then runs off (maybe more like trots off)

Reporting about TV

When Mommy or Daddy is in the kitchen I don’t want them to miss out on what is on TV so I report to them about what is happing, like the trains connecting on YouTube.

Likes and dislikes

I love songs at school…but not all of them. I have preferences. Some songs I will opt to sit out, or more accurately “lie out”. But when my jam comes on I’m front and center! So of course I’m much more attentive and active when it is something I like. Speaking of likes and attention,

Bowl head

This is how I get ready for school…introducing bowl head.

Box head

Um, yeah. Self-explanatory title. Just playing.

Look at my big dinner! Yep, I plan to eat all of it!

Coloring time

It’s a rainy day again today, so we are staying inside. Which is fine because we have a lot of fun activities like coloring. As you can see I’m loving it!

Holding the umbrella

It is very difficult to walk to school on rainy days. Daddy has to carry me to keep me dry, but he also has to carry the umbrella. So he’s pretty much carrying me with one arm. In order to make it a bit easier for him I like to help to hold the umbrella.

Bus visit

When Daddy was getting ready and brushing his teeth I figured that he needed a visit from the bus, you know, just to cheer him up.

“Natto” and “UnderArmour”

I’ve been saying a lot more words recently. Some words I’ve known for a while, other ones I’m learning and saying for the first time. Today at dinner I was eating natto and then started saying natto without any coaching or prompting. It just came out. From then on when Mommy asked me to repeat

Walk to the prefectural office

On our walk we stopped by the prefectural office. There we had a water break, which I wasn’t too interested in. And we checked out a food display outside a restaurant, which I was very into! Naturally, I pretend ate the food.

Ready to go

I surprisingly got ready for school early and have a little relaxing time with Daddy to watch TV. He got ready for work early too. Maybe it is because I woke up early today and got everyone else up an hour earlier than usual. Yes, that must be it. If it means there is less
