Leaf collector

At the park today we all ran around a bunch, looked for bugs, and played in the sand. But my favorite thing was collecting awesome leaves. I’ve been doing this for a few weeks now and have accumulated quite a collection. Whenever I find a cool looking leaf on the ground when walking to school, […]

Haircut

My hair was getting long again so it was time for a haircut again. My last haircut was quite traumatic with me crying and practically screaming. Today everything went a lot smoother. No tears this time and it was done fairly quickly. Given the choice of having my haircut at home by Daddy or at

Chest thumping, feet stomping, and Mercedes driving

When we got back from dropping Jiiji and Baaba off at the train station, Daddy opened the car door and started doing a silly chest thumping and foot stomping dance. Without hesitation I joined in on the silliness. After the silliness I did some driving.

Mommy’s Birthday Party

Mommy’s birthday fell on a Friday and that means that we had a whole weekend to celebrate. So that means I had three days of eating birthday cakes. If this is how birthdays work, I hope the next birthday we celebrate starts on a Friday too. Jiiji, Baaba, and Obachan came over for lunch and

Cleaning up the house

Jiiji, Baaba, and Obachan are coming over for lunch to celebrate Mommy’s birthday so we have to clean the house before they get here. I helped with the cleaning by doing the cleaning that looked like the most fun for as long as it was still interesting to me.

Mommy’s birthday dinner

We went out for Mommy’s birthday dinner tonight! The food was very good, but we had a limited time at the table, so we had to eat kind of fast. We had a fun time. Mommy made me crack up by making crossed-eyes. I thought it was hilarious! I tried to do crossed-eyes to, but

Happy Birthday Mommy!🎂🎁

After a nice dinner I was in a very good mood. I was in an even better mood when Daddy came home with birthday cakes for Mommy’s birthday. I was so excited about the cake that I couldn’t wait. But wait I did as Mommy and Daddy set everything up and took a bunch of

We visited the prefectural office because it was the last day that they were going to have the train exhibits on display. So we checked out the train exhibits one last time and made sure to look out onto the city and see if we could see any real trains, which we did!

Decorating Mommy’s birthday card

Daddy picked me up from school today and that gave us a chance to wrap Mommy’s gift and decorate her birthday card. I found some stickers and went straight for the bugs. I put a bunch of those on the card thinking Mommy would like them (and I wasn’t willing to give up my car

Running at the park

We did a lot of running at the park. I had fun working up a sweat. When we got back to school I wore my had really low on my head and told my teacher, “Look! I can’t see!” I like to be funny and make my teachers laugh.

Bedroom stars

There are so many pretty stars in my bedroom! Going to sleep is like camping out under the night sky!

Gymnastics

We had gymnastics class today, and even though our sports day is over, I try really hard to learn everything and do it well. If only I had started earlier I would have had more fun experiences. We also went to the park today and ran around a lot. We played cops and robbers and

Asking for dessert

This is how I turn on the charm and ask for dessert.

Puppet show

Today we went to go see a puppet show and we got to ride the subway to get there! I was so excited! (About the subway, and maybe a little about the puppet show.) I kept repeating to my teachers, “We got to ride the subway!” I actually ended up liking the puppet show. It

Play area

In the afternoon, we went to visit a play area in a department store. After a few wrong turns we got there and first had some snacks. I gave Mommy’s lemon drink a taste and quite liked it! But I mainly stuck with my orange juice and snack crackers. The play area had this cool

Monday holiday

Today was a holiday so we enjoyed a second three-day weekend in a row. We spent the morning at home playing with various things. I got a cool new water color book. It was like the brush and paper one that I played with before, but this one had a marker with water in it

I wanted to play with my train set today and we went a bit off book. I wanted a bigger track than usual, so we expanded our track and made this huge track. It was really cool, but kind of hard to push the trains around the whole track. I got a bit of a

Chilling on a Saturday

Some days, you just gotta chill. We didn’t have any special plans today. Of course we played a lot, but for the most part we just chilled. Nothing wrong with that.

Trains and puzzles

On our walk today we visited the prefectural office again to check out the train display. It was pretty awesome. No matter how many times we see it, we never get tired of it. At home I revisited an old puzzle that I hadn’t played with in a long time. It was way too easy.
