English class and stickers

We had another fun English class today. We sang the apple song and learned about fruits. Later we decorated squirrels with stickers. We all had the same base cutout but each of our squirrels were different because of where we put the stickers and it gave them each their own personality. On the way home […]

Finger-painting in the bath

Today Daddy brought some finger-paints to the bath for me to play with. I usually do enjoy finger-painting because I don’t like getting my hands dirty, but I was in the bath and could wash my hands after every colorful stroke so this was the perfect art studio for me. I painted a lot on

Rough being sick

It is not easy being sick. I had a day of a lot of ups and downs, but the downs were pretty rough. When you are sick you realize how much of your mood is affected by your health. I was good, smiling, and happy at parts during the day. But most of the time

Hat hair, greengrocer, fever

I had an interesting hairstyle this morning thanks to wearing my hat on the way to school On our walk we visited a greengrocer and picked up some nashi for us to eat at snack time. Unfortunately, I developed a fever after lunch and Mommy had to come and pick me up early from school

Genki no Mori

Since we were in Kitakyushu, we visited a very popular kids’ play area, Genki no Mori. I immediately took to it and rushed around from place to place trying out all the fun and experience to be had. My first stop was the slides and train. Then I headed to the wood block toys. They

New buddy

While we were in Kitakyushu City, we stopped by Mommy and Daddy’s friend’s house. They hadn’t seen him in four years, and he had actually never met me yet. I was a little clingy and hesitant at first, but I warmed up very quickly thanks to their hospitality and their little boy’s nice toy collection.

Morning in Kitakyushu

I woke up in Kitakyushu in a very good mood. I had had a very nice sleep in the hotel room and barely stirred at all through the night. Daddy zipped off to get us some breakfast (twice). First he went to McDonald’s to get me some pancakes and the Tomica car prize. Then I

Kitakyushu mini-trip

We went to Kitakyushu for a mini-trip. Mommy had a wedding to attend so we decided to make it a family trip. Mommy went first and met up with friends before the wedding. Daddy and I left after lunch so that we could check into the hotel when we arrived. There were some delays with

Matsuri (Festival)

Mommy and I went to a nearby matsuri (festival) today. Daddy had to work late so we went jus the two of us. I got to wear my cool new jimbei! We were lucky to find one that had trains on them. There were a lot of people at the matsuri. But luckily we didn’t

Subway visit

We went to visit the subway station today. We all love the subway. It was too bad that we could only visit and not ride the subway. Still we got really excited when we heard the subway trains coming and going. We couldn’t really see them, but it was still very fun!

Classmate birthday

We had a birthday party for one of our younger classmates. It was a lot of fun and us older kids helped decorate and celebrate. We also played a new game where we held on to the mat with all our might while our teacher tried to pull us off of it. I know it

Smells good

Daddy brought home a coworkers omiyage today and it looked pretty yummy. But I don’t eat chocolate yet so I only got to smell it. Wow, did it smell good!

Bugs and cops and robbers

We had a fun time playing at the park today. We had fun looking for all kinds of bugs and we had fun running around playing cops and robbers.

Bedtime story in bed

It usually takes me very long to fall asleep. Part of the problem is that I enjoy my bedtime routine a lot and don’t really calm down before bed. Bath time is fun, book time is fun, and even brushing teeth time is fun. So to try and calm things down a bit we started

On our walk today we saw a lot of cool vehicles! We saw an ambulance, huge flatbed truck, and a police car. That was very exciting for us! When we got to the prefectural office, which was our destination, we took a little water break. For some reason I chose to make this expression. Can’t

Pool and water balloons

Today, my friend came over to play and we had plans to play in the wading pool. So, I took it easy in the morning to preserve my energy. We had a ton of fun in the pool! Daddy bought some water balloons for us which made it even more fun! We had a such
