We had a birthday party for one of our younger classmates. It was a lot of fun and us older kids helped decorate and celebrate. We also played a new game where we held on to the mat with all our might while our teacher tried to pull us off of it. I know itContinue reading “Classmate birthday”

Daddy brought home a coworkers omiyage today and it looked pretty yummy. But I don’t eat chocolate yet so I only got to smell it. Wow, did it smell good!

We had a fun time playing at the park today. We had fun looking for all kinds of bugs and we had fun running around playing cops and robbers.

It usually takes me very long to fall asleep. Part of the problem is that I enjoy my bedtime routine a lot and don’t really calm down before bed. Bath time is fun, book time is fun, and even brushing teeth time is fun. So to try and calm things down a bit we startedContinue reading “Bedtime story in bed”

On our walk today we saw a lot of cool vehicles! We saw an ambulance, huge flatbed truck, and a police car. That was very exciting for us! When we got to the prefectural office, which was our destination, we took a little water break. For some reason I chose to make this expression. Can’tContinue reading

Today, my friend came over to play and we had plans to play in the wading pool. So, I took it easy in the morning to preserve my energy. We had a ton of fun in the pool! Daddy bought some water balloons for us which made it even more fun! We had a suchContinue reading “Pool and water balloons”

We had our Sports Day today, and my first big accomplishment was not crying when we arrived at the gym. In previous years, I burst into tears when we got to the gym and I saw so many people that I didn’t know. This year I was ready for it and didn’t cry. When weContinue reading “Sports Day”

I love Mommy! And I express that love very passionately!

After school, Mommy and I thought we deserved a little treat at the end of a long week. So we stopped by 7-Eleven and picked up some smoothies. It was very cool. You choose your smoothie flavor (which was pretty much just frozen fruits in a cup) from the freezer and then bring it toContinue reading “7-Eleven Smoothies”

We went to the gym for a full Sports Day rehearsal. I did very well and followed all the directions. When it came to the gymnastics portion I performed very well. I jumped over the jumping box without problem and did all the poses and forms on the bar. I think I’m ready. As forContinue reading “Sports Day rehearsal”

We had our English lesson at school today and as always we had so much fun! We learned about numbers, colors, and fruits! On our walk today we heard a helicopter and when we looked up we saw a Doctor Heli (an EMS helicopter). It was very exciting!

Mommy had a seminar in the city today, so Daddy met us at the station and took me home so that Mommy could attend the seminar. He asked me if I wanted to eat at a restaurant in the city but I said that I wanted to eat at home. The station had so manyContinue reading “Nikudon”

Today we walked to the elementary school gym, just so we all knew where we would have our Sports Day this Saturday. It was a short walk, but very hot. We made sure to take a bunch of water breaks. Back at school we had gymnastics class. We will perform some gymnastics at Sports Day,Continue reading “Sports Day prep”

Some of my MagnaTiles have a mirror on them. Perfect to play and check myself out. Looking good!

We had sports day practice today, so we headed over to a nearby elementary school gym so that we could get ready for the event. On the way there we saw an ambulance and stopped to watch it for a while. When we got to the gym we practiced lining up, sitting down, and learningContinue reading “Sports Day Practice”

On our walk we saw some police officers and police cars. We were intrigued and stopped to watch. We were thanking them for all their hard work and also cheering them on. We also saw some ducks, fish and bugs as well. We cheered them on as well! At the park we had a greatContinue reading “So much to see”

It was a hot sunny day today, so we made it into a pool day. Since summer is almost over there were some summer blowout sales and Daddy found some beach toy trucks for me. Even though we weren’t at the beach and didn’t have any sand, I had fun with them in my pool.Continue reading “Pool day and roughhousing with Mommy”

Today I helped make fruit salad and I think I did a good job. It was delicious! The fruit was pretty sweet to begin with but we kicked it up a notch by adding some sugar and lemon juice.
