With all the travel restrictions nowadays, I haven’t been able to see Grandma and Grandpa in person yet. But we still find ways to have fun during our weekly FaceTime chats. We even got to play one of my favorite games. I love knocking things over, so Grandma stacked some blocks in Hawaii and IContinue reading “Knocking over Grandma’s blocks”

I’m getting better and better at feeding myself. I am trying to slow down and take my time. I’m also making a conscious effort not to stuff my mouth with all the food I see. I think I’m doing pretty good.

Yep, I’m still poo grunting. For me, it is the best way to gather my strength to move my bowels. Also, it gives Mommy and Daddy a heads up that I’m going to be needing a diaper change soon. Once I am done moving my bowels and have a clean pair of diapers on, IContinue reading “Poo grunting”

The weather has been warming up a bit recently. I still wear long sleeve shirts and long pants, but sometimes I have short sleeves on my undershirt. It makes it easier to change my clothes throughout the day to match the temperature.

I’m finally figuring out how to step down from the couch instead of going head first and just hoping I don’t hurt myself. I must say, feet first is much safer.

I like to help get my bath ready. I think the shower is really interesting. I’m getting more and more fascinated by water. When the weather gets warmer, I can’t wait to go to a pool and start swimming. I also find the little machine that operates our tub to be very interesting. It controlsContinue reading “Preparing the bath”

We took Obachan out to dinner to night, just as a very small thanks for all the help she will be providing. I’ve been to restaurants before, so I was very used to the environment. I was very chill. I didn’t eat any of the food at the restaurant because I had food brought fromContinue reading “At a restaurant”

Obachan (Aunty) came over today to play with me. Actually, not only to play with me but also to get used to watching me. Mommy is going to start work again in April and I’m going to start going to nursery school. But the school eases the students into school life so for the firstContinue reading “Playing with Obachan”

I have so much hair, that not only can it be tied up into a topknot, but I can also get two sideknots as well. I’m just testing out this hairstyle for today. I don’t think I’ll be keeping it, because I think I’ll be mistaken for a girl even more than I am now.

I don’t like to let obstacles keep me from doing what I want. So when an obstacle is placed in my way, my natural instinct is to try and get over it. Sure I might take a spill, but I’ll get up and try again. Well, today I got over the obstacle, took a spill,Continue reading “Overcoming obstacles”

I don’t need the swings or slide at the park when I have my own thrilling ride at home. Daddy: The Ride.

I found a baton! Well, not really a baton, just the cardboard tube from a plastic wrap roll. But it is still fun!

I love reading books! I’m fascinated by them! The problem is that I like all books so much that I have a hard time sticking to one book long enough to finish it. I want to read all the books at once!

One year ago, I was still in Mommy’s tummy. I was growing really big and moving a lot, and preparing for my arrival. Mommy and Daddy couldn’t wait to meet me. Everything they did was in anticipation of my arrival. Even when they went to the park for hanami and waw the sakura (cherry blossoms),Continue reading “One year ago – Hanami”

Okay, I posted earlier that the day is not off to a great start. Well, I had my breakfast now, and I think the day is looking a lot better. It is important to start your day off with a good breakfast! And a morning show on TV.

Some mornings I wake up on the wrong side of the bed and am not happy. Today is not off to a great start.

I love books! I like being read to and I like reading on my own as well. But sometimes reading is not as stimulating as my kids’ shows. There are cute characters, vibrant colors, fun songs, and a lot of good lessons to be learned. I can be torn between books and TV sometimes.
