Happy Halloween

We celebrated Halloween at school today. We read some Halloween books and learned about the origins of Halloween. Then we got to the good stuff. We wore the masks that we made and went trick-or-treating. We went to nearby stores and said “Trick-or-treat” and they gave us treats! I also got some Halloween treats at […]

Halloween donuts

Mommy made some cute little Halloween donuts. They were almost too pretty to eat. But eat them I did.

Airport runway at the park

Today at the park we played airport, where we were airplanes in line to take off from the runway. We were very good about waiting our turns and making sure there were no crashes.

Gymnastics class

We had a fun gymnastics class. We started off chair gymnastics. And we played a game of shopping where we went to the store and returned safely home to our chairs. We also did some mat work as well, jumping and tumbling.

Monkey banana breakfast

I usually eat my banana in yogurt, but recently I have been requesting “monkey banana”.

Fun with my friend

My friend came over today and we had a great time! First we ate a yummy lunch! My friend’s mom loves the spam musubi that Daddy makes, so we always make sure to have it on the menu. I helped make fruit salad which everyone loved. Daddy also made a Hawaiian dish called chicken long

Monthiversary

Mommy and Daddy have been going out for their Monthiversary every month since they got married (with some take-out Monthiversaries during the pandemic). Today we went to a cool restaurant with an all-you-can-eat menu and it had a lot of great food! And with great food comes great fun! We ate so much food, it

Happy Halloween

We celebrated Halloween today! It is not a standard event in Japan, but you do see Halloween decorations and goods up around the end of October. The thing is, there is no Trick-or-Treating custom. So we improvise. First, I get to go to the snack store and pick out some Halloween treats for myself and

Demolishing

There is some demolishing going on near our house, so we had to check it out. There were two big modified excavators tearing down a building. They had claws instead of scoops. It was pretty cool! Mommy and I had fun marching around when we got home.

Conversation about cars

Note: I’m really good at recognizing different kinds of cars and the Sienta is one of them

Flower shop

At the park, my friend and I opened a shop. “Irasshaimase!”

Pink pants and sweet potato picking

The weather is getting slightly cooler so I have been wearing long pants to school more often. Since I grew out of a lot of last year’s pants I had to get new ones. When asked what kind of pants I wanted, I answered, “Pink”. Mommy and Daddy expected me to say ambulance or fire

Prefectural office sumo exhibit

We visited the prefectural office again today and went to see the sumo exhibit again. We were very excited to see the huge displays. I wonder how much I have to eat to get that big.

Origami and gymnastics class

It was a rainy day today, so we stayed indoors to play. One of the activities that we had was folding origami. Our teacher showed us how to fold nice hats. We also had gymnastics class today. Along with using the bar and jumping box, we practiced balancing on one leg. It was challenging, but

Ball, dragonfly, train

We had a lot of fun at the park today. We played with balls and ran around a lot. We also chased some dragonflies around. No matter how fast we ran, they flew faster and we couldn’t catch any. Maybe next time. We also played train. Our teacher drew train tracks on the ground and

Home and parks

We had a quiet and relaxing morning at home. As usual, I ate a hearty breakfast and watch a bunch of my favorite TV shows. Then I played with my toys and had some iPad time. After lunch I wanted to go to the park. It has been getting colder, so I got to wear

Day of good food

We visited a new nursery school today. My school only goes up until 3-years-old, so for next year I have to find a new school. We have been visiting several different schools in the area and they all look promising. One of the first questions we ask each school is are seconds provided at lunch.
