Vehicle exhibit

What a happy day at school! Today we visited the vehicle exhibit during our walk. You can imagine how excited and happy I was. It was as if the exhibit was just for me. It had so many vehicles on display and I really took my time examining each display. Awesome!

Toothbrush washing

The older I get the more I want to do. I’ve seen Mommy and Daddy brushing their teeth and I noticed that they wash their toothbrushes after. So I had to do it too. I did a pretty good job. I even put my toothbrush into the toothbrush holder when I was done.

Morning horsey

I got ready for school pretty early so we more time than usual to play so I requested a horsey-back ride. What a great way to start the morning! (After a while I had to let me horsey go so that he could get ready for work.)

Dessert

I was lucky enough to get some jelly for dessert today. Having jelly is rare for me so I was very excited but a bit bossy about eating it. I was just a little too excited.

Talking about down down down

On our way home form school I was talking to Mommy about who is going to go down down down (go on the subway) this weekend. I was fine talking about it until I noticed that I was being videoed so then I wanted to see what I said. After reviewing the video I recalled

Pool day water play

Yet another pool day where I refuse to wear my swimming cap. So I wasn’t allowed into the pool, but I was okay with just playing with the water from the outside. After all we have our wading pool at home that I play in all the time. Maybe that’s why pool day is not

“Wrist” watch

This wrist watch is way to big for my wrist. Hmmm, I guess it might not be mine. I can’t wait until I can get my own. It is so cool and has so many functions. One of these days.

Talking

I’m talking more and more these days. One of the biggest breakthroughs is that I say my own name when I refer to myself instead of just pointing to myself. Actually I say”Maton”. Close enough. Today one of my teachers asked me if I peed and I responded in Japanese “I didn’t pee”. My teacher

Not ready to go home

There have been days where I’m not ready to go home when Mommy picks me up from school. Some days I need an extra few minutes to hang out in the waiting room to peruse some books before I choose which one to borrow. Other days I throw an outright fit and refuse to even

Doing my own thing

There are many times at school when I’m just not as into things as everyone else. I just kind of am there but not necessarily enjoying things as much as everyone else. There are some dancing times when I just don’t feel the vibe. I can be a bit of a wallflower. However, when we

Walk to school with Daddy

Some mornings Mommy has a slightly earlier shift so she has to rush off to catch the subway while we are walking to school. So I walk the rest of the way with Daddy. For the most part Daddy carries me, but there is an agreed upon leg where I walk. I like our morning

Breakfast chair

It is good to have routines but sometimes they have to change. Since we’ve been back from Hawaii I have been insisting on eating breakfast on Daddy’s lap instead of in my high chair. This can be a bit inconvenient for Daddy when he is trying to get ready for work or get me ready

Look, a cat

I spotted cat on our way home and was very interested in it. Even after it left I didn’t want to leave. I wanted to go after it, but it had gone between the fence so we couldn’t reach it.

Elevator buttons

I’m very good at pushing elevator buttons. I’ve insisted on being the one to push the buttons for months now, both going to school and heading home.

Power breakfast for busy day at school

I had my usual fruits and yogurt for breakfast but I also had some crab bread. I somehow knew I would need the energy for school. We did a lot of dancing at school today. Sometimes I sit it out and other times I am really into it. Today I was somewhere in between. I

Visiting Jiiji and Baaba

We visited Jiiji and Baaba for the first time since we got back from Hawaii. It was nice to see them again. As soon as we got to their house I was wandering around, interacting with them, and showing them how much a grew up in Hawaii. Mommy and Daddy shared with them all the

Steak Miya & Potty

We went out to dinner tonight because I again requested to go holoholo bus again and the Steak Miya restaurant was having good deal on beer, so it was a win-win for everyone. Even though the restaurant name is Steak Miya we mainly go for the salad bar. It is really good and fully stocked

Holoholo bus to dinner

I’ve been talking about holoholo bus all week so Mommy and Daddy made sure that I got my wish. We hopped in the bus to go out to dinner tonight. I like going out to eat, but when we go there by bus it is twice as fun.
