Keyboard sound effects

I like playing with the keyboard. Not only can I compose music, but it also plays the Anpanman March for me, which I love! I like to explore the different settings and sounds on the keyboard. We’ve gone through a bunch of instruments before and I thought they were pretty cool. But today we messed […]

Car puzzle

As my prize that comes with my kids’ meal I chose a car puzzle set. There were three small puzzles of three pieces each and they were all cars! I was so happy to find out that there was an ambulance in the set. The puzzle was just the right level for me. I could

Didn’t finish a meal

Today we went out for lunch and although I ate a lot I didn’t finish my meal. I think this might be the first time when I didn’t clear my plate! Maybe I’m learning self control or maybe I have an idea how much of what my body needs. Whatever the reason, it had Mommy

Anpanman cart

We to the shopping mall to get some lunch, but it was really busy and we had to wait quite a bit for a table to open up. But I was really good and waited patiently with Mommy and Daddy. Then we spotted a family leaving the shopping mall and that meant the Anpanman cart

Balls and bread

Playing with balls and eating my bread while chatting with Grandma and Grandpa and catching them up on my week.

Breakfast, Rubik’s cube, whispers

Today I wanted to eat breakfast at the coffee table. I was well aware that it was the weekend and that we were in no rush to get ready for work or school. So I took my time and had fun while slowly eating my breakfast. I was also a bit picky about my breakfast.

Dancing Daddy and dog

Daddy was being silly and dancing very exaggeratedly for me to make me laugh. I thought it was really funny! Then I saw my bobble head dog nodding with the beat of the song. I was thoroughly entertained by my dancing Daddy and dancing dog.

999

Either I’m really good at math, especially problems where the answer is “999” or I’m learning to say “no, no, no” in German.

Sharing

My friend stopped by after our Costco shopping and play area adventure. Both of us had taken naps on the ride home so we were quite refreshed. Mommy and Daddy were a bit worried because the last time she visited I was very selfish and wouldn’t let her play with any of my toys. Of

Play area

Part of the reason for our trip to Costco was to show my friend the play area near there. I have been there a couple of times, but it was her first time. We spent a couple hours there and had a lot of fun! But not necessarily with each other. For the most part

Not driving practice time

Daddy had forgotten his Costco card in the car so we went to get it. It was in the glove box so he put me down in the passenger seat so that he could grab it. Before he knew it I had scrambled over to the driver’s seat to practice driving like we often do.

Playing with Daddy’s straw

After finishing my meal I started playing around with Daddy’s straw. I got a funny reaction out of him, so I kept doing it. I was laughing and laughing and then Daddy purposely didn’t react at all. I looked at him as if to say, “What? No reaction?” He was just messing with me. Who

Omurice kids’ set

Today we went to Costco and before we started shopping we had lunch. Instead of packing a lunch I had an omurice kids’ set. Look at how much it came with! Along with the main dish of omurice, there was french fries, a chicken nugget, three wieners cut like octopuses, juice, and a lot of

Onbu onbu timber

Daddy and I were playing and when I climbed up onto his back he made up a chant. “Ombu ombu”, which means “piggy-back, piggy-back”. Then he would topple over saying, “timber”. I was having so much fun that we did it over and over and I was laughing and squealing. By the time Mommy took

Bedtime story

Reading my own bedtime story is nice, but being read a bedtime story is the best!

Bath bye-bye…Hello

A new little game I play I tell Daddy that I want him to bathe me and then lure him into the bathroom. Then I leave him and close the door on him. But then he keeps opening the door so I have to come back to close it. It doesn’t sound like much but

Nap pose

I had a nice nap today. I apparently had a cute nap pose that my teachers took a picture of because one of my friends was sleeping the same way. It is a popular napping pose among my generation.

New baby in nursery school

A new baby started at my nursery school this week. He is around one-year-old and in the same class as me because our school year starts in April and ends in March. I am early born and nearly a year older than him but we are in the same grade. He is so little and
