Air kisses or lip smacking

I like copying Mommy and Daddy in everything they do. Daddy was making air kisses and I started copying him. But when I tried to copy him it only occasionally came out as air kisses and often came out as lip smacking. I’m still working out the fine motor skills of my mouth. I’ll get

Kanpai at school

I’m still eating really well at school! I often have seconds at lunch. Not only do I enjoy the food, but I also enjoy the company. I like to do kanpai with my classmates and teachers. We’re just drinking tea, but I could go for something a little stronger.

Milk and book before bedtime

I really like my bedtime routine. I rarely every resist it anymore. I happily follow Daddy when it is bath time, which I enjoy. Then after my bath I get some milk and a book. I really enjoy this part. Then after I finish my milk and book I brush my teeth and go to

Dancing to any song I hear

I love to dance! I’ll dance to almost anything! I’ll dance to pop music, Daddy say, “boom, boom, boom, boom,” and even the intro songs to my kids’ shows. I just love to dance!

Nodding “yes”

I’m communicating more and more every day! I like having a conversation and answering questions. I like to nod “yes” and say “un” which is like a Japanese “yeah”. Mommy and Daddy like asking me all kinds of questions!

Behind the bib

I’m just hiding…or am I? I might be trying to eat the food that got caught in my bib. I guess you’ll never know.

Cheery Cheerios

When we were in Hawaii, I had a taste of Cheerios cereal and quite liked it! Mommy and Daddy liked it because it was a nice finger food for me and a very convenient snack or small meal. After we came back to Japan they decided that I should keep eating Cheerios. The only ones

Melon snack

More fruits to help fight off my fever. Melons, yum!

Walking around while eating

I woke up with a fever today. I was still in a pretty good mood, but Mommy and Daddy figured that I should get as much fluids as possible, so I had some extra fruit after eating my breakfast. They got me some nashi, Japanese pear. They were delicious and juicy! This was after I

Cleaning up my dinner mess

I can be pretty messy when I eat sometimes. So I thought that I should clean up after myself by wiping down the floor and table after dinner.

Moving chair backwards with my head

Yeah, I’m a weird kid. I was still hungry after eating my dinner so I signed and said “more” but there was no more food to be had. So I decided to rock back and forth, bumping my head up against the back of my chair. The momentum pushed my chair, which had the wheel
