I tried ham today. It was a little different. The texture was a bit different than the other meats that I’ve had. I think I liked it, but I’ll have to eat more to be sure.

Yes? Did you say something? Oh. I thought I heard something.

When Mommy came home I burst into tears. I was so happy to see her but I think the overflow of emotions from the day was too much for me to handle so I started crying. I eventually calmed down and told her about my day, but first I just had to express to her

Since nursery school for me was only from 9 to 11 today, and because Daddy had to work from 1, Obachan came over to watch me. I didn’t cry at all when I saw her because she’s visited several times and I am used to seeing her. And also after my traumatic experience at nursery

How would I sum up my first day of nursery school? I cried… a lot. Mommy and Daddy have been talking about me going to nursery school for a while now. They were really pushing all the good points like I would meet new friends and teachers, and how much fun it would be. But

I like eating dinner rolls. They have a little more flavor than plain old slices of bread. The only problem is that I like them too much and tend to try to eat too much at a time. Mommy and Daddy have to watch me carefully to makes sure I don’t stuff my mouth and

I can easily be distracted when I am playing. I don’t know if it is a lack of concentration or more just being aware of my surroundings, always with my antenna up. Either way, I’ll sometimes stop what I’m doing and start something completely different in a very sudden shift.

I’ll be the first to admit that I have a kind of goofy laugh. But that’s okay because Mommy and Daddy love it and find it to be very infectious.

I’m very good at playing on my own nowadays. I don’t need to be entertained. I just find things to play with on my own. Like a strip of tape. Interesting.

Now that I’m older, I’m much more active all the time, including when taking a bath. Instead of just being bathed, I want to play as well. So I get to sit down and play with my bath toys. The problem is that I when I sit down, I am very close to the surface

Not being able to talk, it is hard to express my needs and wants. But I discovered that I can reach and that tells Mommy and Daddy a lot about what I want. They know that I either want to say hi, be carried, or want something. It is still hard to designate which of

I came to visit Daddy at work and he was happy to see me, but could play with me. I offered to help him with his work, but there wasn’t much that I could do. I was not happy about that.

I was watching Mommy hang out the laundry today and was wondering why grownups get to have all the fun. I can’t wait until I can hang out the laundry!

There is so much to see at the park. Blooming sakura (cherry blossoms) and locks on the gate to the sand box. Fascinating!
