Outdoors and indoors
We went to the park today but it was so hot that we couldn’t stay very long. We barely ventured out of the shade. We headed home and drank a lot of water while cooling off in the air-conditioned room. In the cool safety of the indoors we played with Magna-tiles. I made some interestingContinue reading “Outdoors and indoors”
Remote control car fun
Routine day and special dinner
I woke up at a normal time today and was in a very good mood. I have recovered from my jet lag and am back to our normal school day routine. We went to the subway station on our walk today. At first I asked my teachers to be carried but in the end IContinue reading “Routine day and special dinner”
Back in Japan
After such a long time away from school and spending so much time every day with Mommy and Daddy, it was a little hard for me to go back to school. First of all, I woke up really early in the morning because of jet lag. I was about around 5:15 and tried to goContinue reading “Back in Japan”
Heading back to Japan
I woke up quite early this morning, knowing that we had to get ready to leave. Most of the packing was done by Mommy and Daddy the night before, but I made sure to get ready quickly in the morning so that we could pack all of our things. I had a great breakfast ofContinue reading “Heading back to Japan”
Last day on Kauai
Today was our last full day on Kauai. It was supposed to be a really long visit but it felt very short. Where did the time go? Well, I guess a lot of the time was dedicated to eating and playing with cars, but besides that. It flew by way too fast. Just some ofContinue reading “Last day on Kauai”
Another fun day in Hawaii
Beach day
I woke up in a really bad mood and was contradictory about everything. It was a typical case of waking up on the wrong side of the bed. After I got some breakfast in me I was a lot better. We went to the farmers’ market this morning and there were a lot of thingsContinue reading “Beach day”
Mommy and Daddy are back
It was nice to be back at home with everyone in the house. The rest of the day was very pleasant and easy going. I found out that I had an additional set of Magna-tiles. That was an exciting surprise. Overall, I was just happy that Mommy and Daddy were back and was comfortable justContinue reading “Mommy and Daddy are back”
Picking Mommy and Daddy up
After a surprisingly easy night without Mommy and Daddy I woke up in a great mood. I had fallen asleep with Nana and when I woke up she was already out of bed. But I didn’t cry or anything. I just got up, gathered my water bottle and car, and went out of the bedroomContinue reading “Picking Mommy and Daddy up”
Mommy and Daddy’s date night
Mommy and Daddy had a date night tonight. They told me ahead of time and answered all my questions about what would happen. At first I was worried that they wouldn’t come home but they ensured me that they would come home the next day. Then I asked why only Mommy and Daddy were goingContinue reading “Mommy and Daddy’s date night”
Water balloons and hotel pool
I woke up a almost normal time and went through my usual morning routine. I kind of got used to our daily life here in Hawaii. After getting dressed I played with a scalp massager and I’m not sure if I liked it or not. It was so ticklish. We ended up outside again andContinue reading “Water balloons and hotel pool”
Backyard pool and playground
As always I woke up in a really good mood and had a good breakfast. I asked to go outside and when outside I saw the pool and then asked to go into the pool. I changed into my swimwear and had a fun morning session in the pool. Daddy brought out a kiddie golfContinue reading “Backyard pool and playground”
Dinner at Keoki’s
We went out to dinner, kind of as a belated anniversary celebration for Nana and Papa. I was very well behaved and played with the car I was allowed to bring to dinner until the food arrived. And then I was all about the food. I really liked the bread that came before the meal,Continue reading “Dinner at Keoki’s”
Nana and Papa taking care of me
Mommy and Daddy went out this afternoon, and I was okay with it. Nana and Papa took care of me. We went outside to the backyard and Nana let me play with water balloons. I was having fun throwing them around and impressed Nana and Papa with my throwing arm. But after a while IContinue reading “Nana and Papa taking care of me”
Home with Nana and Mommy
Daddy and Papa went to play golf today so I had a fun day with Nana and Mommy. I was really well behaved and we had a lot of fun playing. I played with Legos again and asked Mommy to put together a set for me and she did so right away. I played withContinue reading “Home with Nana and Mommy”
Pool day
I woke up at my usual time today and again in a really good mood. I started off with a really good breakfast of fruits and then started my day. First thing I wanted to do was to play with Nana. We played with Hot Wheels a lot. For lunch we ate leftovers. I wasContinue reading “Pool day”
Pizza dinner
We had pizza for dinner and I got my favorite: pineapple pizza. I ate quite a bit, and salad as well (with Papa’s dressing). It was a fun dinner with good food and good coversation. I’m learning more about Western dinner. The “itadakimasu” is longer here and it is called saying grace. At first IContinue reading “Pizza dinner”
Car shopping
We had to go shopping to pick up things like diapers and breakfast foods, but also because Nana said that she would take me to get some new Hot Wheels. I was very excited about that. We all hopped in the car and headed to the store. I think we went through every single HotContinue reading “Car shopping”
