Recently I have been wanting to go to a car wash. One of my favorite shows is Carl’s Car Wash, but we haven’t been able to find a car wash like that here in Japan. In Carl’s Car Wash the vehicles go on a conveyor belt and go through the car wash. In Japan, you

Today we went to a new play area near Costco. Before we went, I had to get warmed up a bit with some morning exercises. We got to the Costco area and I had one of my favorite lunches: omurice. Naturally I ate everything up. I had a full belly and I was in a

Mommy had to work today, so it was just Daddy and me in the morning. But we went to meet Mommy at a Nepal Festival that was going on in the city. So we hopped on a bus and had a fun ride into the city. When we got there, we saw that some spring

Mommy had something tonight so Daddy took off a bit early and picked me up from school. I was thrilled to see him! Although I like school, I got ready to go home very quickly and then we were headed out of the school. The toy for a Happy Meal is Tomica right now, so

I got ready pretty quickly today so I had time to play with my toys. I wanted to replace some stickers on my Tomica, so I got to work on that. I sometimes ask Daddy to help me with putting stickers on my toys, but these were too small for him to see, so I

Just acting silly while playing with sliding doors. Yes, doors can be fun!

Tracking my good behavior through Gohoubi Stickers. Sometimes when I misbehave, my toys get put on timeout. This is a way for me to get them out of timeout by showing good behavior. Kind of like parole.

There are a lot more things for me to do when I get to my new school. I have to change from outdoor shoes to indoor shoes, I have to go to my classroom to put my stuff in my locker, then I have to gather at a classroom with the other students. It hasn’t

Mommy has been baking a lot lately, and being a bit of a foodie, I always have to take a picture of her yummy desserts before I devour them.

I’m continuing to have a hard time dealing with my emotions. If something happens that I don’t like or if something doesn’t turn out as I expect, I get very upset and then start to spiral into a tantrum. Once I start spiraling I usually can’t find my way out no matter how much Mommy

It was a tough and long week. After being sick at the beginning to having to get used to a new school, I was really looking forward to the weekend so that I could relax and have fun. When I’m not playing with my cars, I’m usually reading about them, or thinking about them. Here

I’m getting more and more used to my new school everyday. Today I stayed until nap time and snack time. I think I’m about ready to stay for the full day soon. One big difference between my old school and new school is that the new school doesn’t have as much communication with the parents.

I went to school school without problem or argument today. There was no mention of not wanting to go to school and no selfishness or mean comments. I was a very good boy. Maybe you could say that I was an overly good boy in order to make up for how I acted last night.

Today was my first day at my new preschool. Everything started out fine. I woke up, ate breakfast, got dressed and go ready without any issues. But then a few minutes before I started to feel anxious and started to say, “I’m not going to school.” Daddy took me aside and talked to me. He

Today I start at my new preschool. I have been prepared for this so I was ready. I woke up and ate my breakfast and did my business. I even got dressed in my school clothes without problem. Today was just a Welcome Ceremony so it was only an hour or so. Nothing to be
