Karuta, Sandbox, and

We played Karuta at school today. It is a card game often played at new years where you try to find the card that is called out. I had fun and did really well. However, I was not that into it when it was not my turn. Not really a spectator sport for me.

At the park we played in the sandbox and my friends and I were playing construction vehicles. We would pretend that we were excavators and dump trucks as we moved the sand around the construction site.

We were also very excited to spot a water sprinkler truck. It is nice to have friends with similar interests as me.

At lunch today my teacher was trying to help me with the last bits of food on my plate, but I told her (a little too firmly), “STOOOOOP! Shoma do it.” It is good that I want to do things on my own, but I think I have to work on my tone a little bit more.
