I’m Superman…hey wait

I was running around the house pretending to be Superman when I noticed that Daddy was reading a book on the couch. He needed to rest after the long drive today, but I thought that instead of rest, it would be better for him to play with me. So that’s what he did. I ended […]

Garden sprinklers

Daddy was checking on the plants in our garden and I was helping. When he checked the positioning of the garden sprinklers I helped by making sure the spray and mist were spreading in the right direction. By the look of my hair the sprinklers are working fine.

Shovel car at the strawberry farm

There must be a lot of families that visit the strawberry farm because they had all kinds of toys in the waiting areas. I guess it was for kids to play with after they got full and the adults continued to eat strawberries. I saw the toys and they looked fun, but I was more

I’ve always liked fruits, but recently strawberries have been in season and we’ve being buying them regularly which means I’ve been eating them regularly. They are so yummy! Mommy and Daddy thought I might enjoy going strawberry picking, where I can eat as many strawberries as I like directly from the vine at a strawberry

Ready to go

Today we are going to go on a “bu-bu holoholo” which means a car outing. Mommy and Daddy are taking me to go strawberry picking, so I had to end our chat with Grandma and Grandpa a bit early so that we could get started on our hour long drive. I was so excited about

Early morning Lego

I woke up this morning and before anything else, I wanted to play with my Lego. I played with the shovel and cup and pretended to eat something from the cup and also pretended to feed the Lego doggy. Even though I wanted to play, I think this was a subtle sign that I was

Cooking breakfast with Daddy

After being offered several choices I asked for pancakes for breakfast. Daddy went to the kitchen to cook and I followed him. I told him that I wanted to watch and help. So that’s what I did. Daddy explained everything he was doing, especially about the dangerous things. He didn’t want me to get hurt.

Nothing, something

One of the first words I learned to say was “nai” which means “it isn’t here” or “don’t have” in Japanese. I picked it up when shopping with Daddy and he was looking for something and couldn’t find it. He said, “Nai na” and I started copying him and later on started using it on

Gatekeeper

I can be very particular and very stubborn at times. Often this means that we end up running behind schedule in the morning. Maybe I’m in a bad mood or maybe things aren’t going my way and then I get stuck in a stubborn situation. Today I had several issues that set us back and

Chilling with Mommy

Daddy had something to go to tonight so it was just me and Mommy. We had fun just chilling! I missed Daddy and asked about him a few times, but I was fined since Mommy explained that I would see him tomorrow.

Staying hydrated

Getting warm these days. We have to stay hydrated on our walks.

Anpanman and ants

We asked our teacher to draw Anpanman and when she did we were all thrilled! It is like Anpanman joined us at the park. After that it was all about the ant hole.

Piggyback to school

We were running a bit behind schedule this morning so to speed up our walk to school I got a piggyback instead of walking. I loved it!

After school routine

Walk home. Eat dinner. Play with Daddy. Take a bath. Change to pajamas. Read books. Brush teeth. Then it is off to bed.

At the park

Today we did some running around at the park. We also staked out an ant hole waiting to see some ants. They were aware of us watching them, so they did not come out to see us. The weather is getting warmer, so we make sure to take a lot of water breaks when at
