We had a nice calm walk to the park today. But once we got there we ran around like crazy!

The toy I got with my kids’ meal was a water gun. I think I had one before, but I was so little I didn’t know how to use it. This time I knew exactly how it worked. After finishing lunch I made plans to play with my new water gun in the bath tonight.Continue reading “Water gun”

We went to Costco today. First we had lunch at a nearby food court and I wanted to eat omurice. It was so delicious and I ate the whole thing! Then we started shopping at Costco and I was very well behaved. As a treat, Mommy and I shared a soft-serve ice cream. I’d likeContinue reading “Costco trip”

Daddy had some styrofoam that he need to break up to fit into the garbage bag to be thrown away. I was there to help…and have some fun chopping.

I woke up pretty early and in a pretty good mood. Probably the reason for both was that Daddy bought me a special melon bread yesterday and I was saving it for breakfast. It was interesting because it was purple and it had a softer texture than normal melon bread. It was delicious! After breakfastContinue reading “Busy morning”

It was a rainy day today so we stayed indoors. Our teachers showed us how to make frog rockets out of paper cups and rubber bands. It was fun to make and fun to watch the frogs jump. Update: I showed Mommy and Daddy how the frog rockets worked at a later date.

We noticed on our walks that the leaves on trees has been changing lately. They are turning yellow, orange, or red. And the weather is getting colder. I guess autumn is here for good and we are moving into winter. The weather, while cool, is very comfortable for running around in the park.

Today we got to plant some onion seedlings. In the process of preparing the soil we found a few bug larva which was fascinating. The onion seedling planting went well because we don’t mind getting our hands dirty. After returning to school we had a fun gymnastics class where we did chair gymnastics and matContinue reading “Onion seedlings”

At the park we had a lot fun with sand today. First we tried tossing some sand and pebbles into some water puddles that we found. Then we decided to make some huge sand mountains. They were awesome!

In the bath we did some finger painting again. I had Daddy paint a fire truck for me. I decorated the scene with a lot of handprints. One ended up with a cute little heart mark. I mixed a lot of colors to make the handprints and wanted to show Mommy. We called her inContinue reading “Bath fingerpainting”

We had quite a long walk today. We walked through the park and checked in on the ducks as usual. We went to the observatory floor in the prefectural office and looked at all the vehicles far below. And we checked out the sumo exhibit in the prefectural office as well.

Daddy and I arrived at the museum where Mommy had an event to do today. Jiiji and Baaba were already there and I greeted them with smiles. I instantly started interacting with them and when Daddy had to go to the restroom I opted to stay with Jiiji and Baaba instead of going with Daddy.Continue reading “Meeting Mommy and Jiiji & Baaba”

As promised, I made pancakes with Mommy this morning. I woke up very excited about the pancake making and eating. They were delicious! But for a morning that started off with much excitement and many smiles, it ended up in tears. Mommy had to work today, even though it is Sunday. I was informed ofContinue reading “Pancakes and tears”

We went to an event that was a bit of a drive away. We ate some food there and checked out some booths. It was surprising hot and I got real tired. On the drive home I fell asleep in the car. When we got home Daddy carried me into the house, but I didn’tContinue reading “Car nap to couch nap”

After such huge breakfast buffet, we needed some relaxing time, so we took it easy at home vegging out a bit. When it came to be lunch time, no one had any urge to eat. The effects of breakfast buffets last half a day.

We went out to a restaurant buffet for breakfast. At first I didn’t like that idea. I wanted to make pancakes with Mommy and had it in my mind that we would do that today. Daddy apologized for not letting me know about our plans and promised that I would be able to make pancakesContinue reading “Breakfast buffet”
