At the park today we ran around, sometimes playing chase, other times following the lines our teachers drew in the ground. After all that running I asked my teacher to hold my hand as we walked around and explored. I often ask my teacher to hold my hand while we are at the park. It is nice and […]
Some nights…well, many nights, I wake up in the middle of the night and realize that I’m all alone in bed. I sometimes just put myself back to sleep but sometimes I immediately get up and look for Mommy. When I find her, she brings me back to bed and I’m asleep almost instantly. It is almost as
It was surprisingly warm today, so when we went out to the park I wore my summer hat and not my winter hat. Good thing because we were so active that I got pretty hot. We ran around, went up and down the slide, looked for bugs, and just had a fun time!
Even when I’m playing well by myself, I don’t always want to be by myself. So when Daddy headed into the kitchen to get lunch ready, “my truck” decided to head over to the kitchen as well. I played there in the kitchen while Daddy cooked.
Did you know that we have a thanksgiving holiday in Japan too? It is not just plain thanksgiving day, it is Labor Thanksgiving Day. What is it exactly? I don’t really know, but I’m happy to have a holiday on November 23 every year. It gives me time to catch up on some reading and playing.
I like all kinds of eggs. Surprisingly, I like hard boiled eggs too. I don’t even mind the yolk. At one of our breakfast spots they have great hard boiled eggs and I learned to eat them from a young age. Now I’m even able to peel them myself.
We had fun running around at the park and just being silly. And, like I said before, “No, I don’t have a girlfriend. She is just a friend.” Although, when her class had to leave early to head back to school I was very upset and then I started crying. My teacher came over to console me
There are times to run with no care in the world. And there are times to deeply reflect while playing with sand.
The weather was really nice today so we had a nice long walk. There was so much to see outside. I especially enjoyed spotting and watching all the different cars that drove by. We went to the prefectural office that had displays and vegetable stands that we were very interested in. When we got back to school
Some days I don’t want to sit in my high chair. It is getting a bit small for me. Sometimes I want to sit on Mommy or Daddy’s lap, but other times I just want to sit in a big chair like a big boy. Look, it’s just the right height.
Today I wanted pasta for dinner. Usually we have packages of premade sauces but today I wanted a sauce that we didn’t have. I wanted carbonara. The reason was that Daddy was listing off pastas and when I heard “carbonara” I said that I wanted that. I’ve had it before at a restaurant, but I don’t usually have it
I like to eat sandwiches, but I’m a purist at heart, so I often prefer to eat each food individually and not mixed together. So I deconstruct my sandwiches when I eat.
I really get into a zone when I play with my cars. I can just sit there and play with them for hours. Sometimes I start to sing while playing. I sing the songs that I learn from my shows. I like having a playmate, but it is nice that I can play by myself as well.
I’m very interested in cooking. I often join Daddy in the kitchen when he is cooking something. This morning I helped him make pancakes. I think my little added help made them taste even better than usual because I ended up eating the lion’s share of the pancakes.
We had a visit from Baaba today. She was very happy to see me. We chatted and played, and somehow ended up on the floor in a corner. Don’t ask me why. We just go where the flow of play takes us. Later we went out for dinner and I wanted to give Mommy a taste of my food,
I wish I could say that everyday was filled with nothing by smiles and laughter, but that is not the case. There are tears here and there. And when I cry, boy do those tears come out fast. It is all part of growing up. I’m having to learn that I cannot always get everything I want and
Mommy had something she had to do today, so it was just Daddy and me for lunch. Daddy asked me what I wanted to eat for lunch and I quickly answered “hamburger”. So we went to McDonald’s and I had a Happy Meal. It delivered as promised and made me happy. I ate everything, of course. Daddy and I
