Second breakfast, the second most important meal of the day.

I’m really getting use to this nitoryu spoon and chopsticks style of eating. I can continuously bring food to my mouth. Great!

I know there are a lot of non-Japanese people out there who think natto is gross, but us Japanese kids love it! Never mind that it is slimy and smelly. It is delicious!

Right when we got home today I wanted to play with the cool planes that Nana and Papa got for me. I knew I couldn’t fly them around so I turned on the lights and watched them flash.

Wandering thought, or cool posing.

I like our weekly English lessons. I’m very well behaved and listen intently.

Mommy picks me up from school and after a pleasant walk home I play while she gets dinner ready. I’m very good at playing with my cars by myself. I sometimes call out to her or come to show her something, but for the most part I’m just on the floor rolling my cars around.

Today we did some art and crafts at school today and we used sponges. They were like soft stamps. I had painted with sponges before but not to stamp. I think I did pretty good!

It all started innocently enough with me helping Daddy water the plants in our garden. Then this happened. I was still helping to water the plants, I just had to get my feet wet in order to get the water…at least that’s my excuse. So I still water the plants. But I eventually ended up

We went to ramen for lunch, which was great! It was very tasty and I really enjoyed it! But for some reason I ended up playing around. Throwing things on the floor and overall not listening to Mommy and Daddy. Nowadays, more and more I test limits and act out my terrible twos. I had

I got to ride the train at the shopping center again today! I was luckily enough to be the first in line and have my pick of train cars. Also, we had receipts from breakfast and our shopping so we could ride for free. Yay!

Recently, when we go to a restaurant, I often don’t require a baby seat to sit in. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that I sit down in my seat. My new “baby seat” is Daddy’s lap. It is very comfy, the perfect height, and it feeds me, as well as talks to me, sings to

Sometimes one spoon is just not fast enough. Time for nitoryu (two-sword..um..spoon style).

We went to the nearby park, which has become quite overgrown, and it was a good chance to try out my new water bottle. Since my mug doesn’t hold enough water for an outing, we had to get me a bigger water bottle so that I always have enough water. The park was quite overgrown,
