When Daddy drops me off at school, I am pretty much expressionless. I don’t cry, but I don’t smile either…at least not in front of Daddy. When I’m brought into the play room in the morning, I flash a big smile to my teachers and friends. During the day when my teachers enter the room
Not a day goes by when I don’t read my books. Today I again read them teacher style. I tried to put them away properly but gave up on that. I played with my toy cars this morning. They don’t do much besides roll around, but I find that to be so much fun! Since
Nowadays I like to feed myself the foods that I can eat with my fingers. So Daddy tears up my breakfast roll into bite-sized pieces and I pick them up and put them in my mouth. I let him serve me my fruit yogurt. All the while, my legs are crossed or my toes are
I really enjoy nursery school nowadays, but home is still my favorite place to be. I am expressionless when I am dropped off at school and expressionless when I am picked up from school, but I am very happy and excited to be home!
My teachers made sure to let Mommy and Daddy know that I am a very good eater at nursery school. Not only in the sense that I eat all my food, but I also do so with relatively good manners. I don’t make an unnecessary mess and of course I don’t put up a fight
We saw a bunch of ducks and ducklings at the park! They were so cute! We all watched them very intently! And then the rest of the time our attention was all over the place.
I’ve grown a lot in one year. I don’t think of myself as a baby anymore, more like a little boy. But despite how much I’ve grown, I’m still much smaller than Daddy. I have a lot more growing to do to catch up to him. Although, we all have a feeling that I’m going
I love going on our walks at nursery school. There is so much to see on our walks! Even though our walks are very stimulating, the buggy is very comfortable and often lulls me to sleep. Well, not just me.
Even after my birthday party finished, there was still some party events left. I still had some birthday presents to open. I got a lot of constructive toys: blocks, Legos, and magformers! It looks like I’ll be building a lot! Oh, wait. Not so much building. There is a car in the Lego set. It
After I had cake we did the traditional Japanese Isshou Mochi. Basically, babies are given about 2kg (4.4lbs) of mochi to carry on their back. Why? Well, the short answer is tradition. There are longer and more detailed explanations online. Putting the “why” aside, let’s look at the other Ws. Who: babies What: about 2
The next tradition was Erabitori is basically trying to see what kind of future career I will pursue. Personally, I think it is too early too choose. Afterall, I just turned one. I have about twenty more years before I have to make this decision. But this is tradition, so I went along with it.
Today we had a party celebrating my first birthday! Decorations, presents, cake, and family all for me! I was so happy! Although I did cry a bit when I saw Jiiji and Baaba. It had been a while and I still am wary of unfamiliar people. But then I calmed down fairly quickly and started
I feel a lot cooler and lighter after my haircut. And I think I look pretty sharp! No more top knots, pigtails, or being mistaken for a girl!
Somebody is getting a haircut today! Oh, wait, it’s me. *gulp* Mommy and Daddy decided to give me a haircut. Not only because I often mistaken for a girl, but also because my hair is getting to be unruly. It gets in my eyes, curls in all directions, and it is pretty hot in the
You can see why I’m often mistaken for a girl. Look how pretty! When people mistake me for a girl, they don’t even ask, “Is she a girl?”, they just assume with 100% confidence that I’m a girl with comments like, “She is definitely going to grow up to be a beautiful woman!” I wonder
