Every so often, I ask Mommy if we can go to the aji-fry (fried horse mackerel) restaurant. It is on our way home from school and the teishoku (set meal) is both delicious and reasonably priced. They don’t have a kids’ meal, but I have no problem eating a standard adult-sized teishoku, while picking some

Just to be silly, Daddy put a swim cap on my head when he got home from work. Note: this is not my swim cap, but Daddy’s swim cap. We all noticed that the adult-sized swim cap fit a little too perfectly on my three-year-old head.

We had our English lesson at school today. We learned some Halloween words and had fun singing the ghost song. We loved it when we got to shout “Boo!”. At the park we chased a lot of bubbles and really worked up a sweat. We made sure to stay hydrated.

Mommy always works so hard to cook for me that I thought that I should help out in the kitchen. So we cooked dinner together! I did really well at mixing and putting everything together. I just let Mommy do the frying part. While she did that I scooted off to play.

I found another nice leaf for my leaf collection on our walk to school today. Whatever I find on our walk to school or during our school walk, I leave in my cubby hole. Then at the end of the week I take the new additions to my collection home. My collection is not only

On our visit to the prefectural office we took a look at the Sumo exhibit. There were a lot of interesting things on display to look at.

After the curry festival, I wasn’t quite ready to go home. I wanted to go to Tenjin. So we hopped back on the subway and went to Tenjin. There is not much for kids there in the city, but we walked around a bit and visited some shops. Before we knew it it was snack

Mommy found a curry festival that she wanted to check out, so we hopped on the subway and went. There were a lot of people and lines were pretty long. Luckily the line for karaage wasn’t to bad so I got to eat quite quickly. The curry was good too, but I mainly ate karaage,

Mommy was vacuuming this morning and I wanted to get in on the fun. I cleaned a bit, but inspected the vacuum a lot. I found it to be a fascinating machine. I told Daddy that I wanted to practice driving, so we went outside. After some driving practice Daddy suggested that I practice my

I couldn’t decide what I wanted for breakfast so Daddy made parfaits for Mommy and me. What a treat! We had a lot of fruits and some leftover pancakes so Daddy whipped up some cream that was leftover from the quiche last night and voila, parfaits! I really liked the whipped cream!

There are times when I don’t play with a toy for a while but when I come back around to it, I’m really into it. Today I was really into my train set. Daddy and I played lot with it. We combined other Legos with it and made some interesting situations and stories. We also

After eating a hearty breakfast and watching my shows, I play a bunch inside. But since it was a nice day outside I went for a drive. We headed to a new restaurant to try some Nepalese food, but it was closed. So we went to a different restaurant, also Nepalese, for some curry and

I just wanted to let you know that I woke up with a dry diaper every day this week. I’m getting better at holding in my pee until I use the potty. I’ve been very good with pooping in the potty for several months now and I’m getting more consistent with peeing in the potty

Good morning! Today we went to a park near the train tracks and even though we had fun running around and playing a lot, we enjoyed watching the trains zoom by a lot more. Still loving my puzzles at school.

I had a slow start this morning. Even though I woke up without trouble, I didn’t really wake up. In the end I ate breakfast and got ready in time, but it was a slow process. We had a birthday party as school for couple of classmates today. We celebrated with them and sang happy

It was another rainy day today. We had a lot of fun indoors. I’ve been really into puzzles at school and often like to sit by myself and do puzzles. We also had gymnastics class today so we moved around a lot and had a bunch of fun. I did really good on the bar!

Today was a rainy day so we stayed indoors all day. But it was fun because we had a lot to do. We did origami and coloring. We also did a lot of active things today. We played on the gymnastics bar and gymnastics mat. We played “potato picking” where we lie down and hold
