Tonight for book time I took a bit of a detour and we read a sticker book. Even though there wasn’t really a story in the book we made a conversation out of it.

Today we had gymnastics practice and I voluntarily participated. I’ve been enjoying it lately and participate instead of observing. I jumped on the mat and did the bar as well. It was fun! After that we played with clay and slime. It was a nice day of indoor fun.

Just playing with my parking garage. This was one of my first gifts, but it is still a go-to toy for me. With all the different HotWheels and Tomica that I have, there is always something to do with the parking garage. I’m leveling up my chopsticks skills. We’ve removed one of the finger rings.Continue reading “Sunday”

Ojisan came to visit me today all the way from Tokyo. He had a morning flight and we met him at the airport and then we all went out to lunch. I’ve always played it stand-offish with Ojisan, often rejecting his gifts and pretending not notice him. But I’ve been warming up to him. ItContinue reading “Ojisan visit”

Daddy stopped by the store and got me a little treat on his way home. I was distracted by the car-themed YouTube that I was watching, but when I saw what he had got for me, I was very happy. It was Minion bread and juice! I couldn’t wait to try them, but I alsoContinue reading “Minion bread and juice”

Even though my fever is gone and I’m feeling much better, I’m still not 100%. I’m still a bit run down and am more likely to be moved to tears. At school today there were times when things did not go the way I expected or wanted them to go so I ended up upsetContinue reading “Still not 100%”

Now that we are in the summer months, the days are getting longer. After we ate dinner tonight I noticed that it was still light outside. So I went for a nice evening drive.

When I went to bed last night, I still had a slight fever that would have kept me home from school. But this morning when I woke up, my fever had broken and I was feeling fine. I got to school after a very long absence. My teachers and friends were happy to see meContinue reading “Fever is gone”

This fever just won’t go away. I had to stay home from school again today even though I feel fine. All the rest that I got really helped me feel better. Also, I think that high fever was doing its job and fighting off my cold. My fever today is not as high as yesterday,Continue reading “Still sick”

Oh man, my fever got even worse today. It was 39.4°C (103°F). Despite such a high fever I was a very good boy. Maybe I was just to weak to misbehave. I had very little energy and spent almost the whole day on the couch with Daddy. We watched TV, had some screen time, andContinue reading “Fever”

My fever got worse over the weekend and it was too high for me to go to school today. I had a slight cough and was feeling quite tired, but still in a good mood. Daddy stayed home with me and we had a relaxing day. We played at home with pretty much all myContinue reading “Staying home from school”

I’m still not feeling that great because of my cold. So we had a pretty lazy Sunday. But that doesn’t mean that we didn’t have fun. I had a great day playing with toys, playing with Mommy and Daddy, watching a couple of movies, and being silly a lot! I’m always very goofy and sillyContinue reading “Lazy Sunday”

When the laundry was brought in, I saw an opportunity to have some fun. I started to try on some of Daddy’s clothes. Everything was just a little bit big for me, but I’m sure I’ll grow into it soon.

I’ve been feeling a little bit under the weather with a cough recently, so we went to the doctor’s this morning. When we got there I had developed a bit of a fever. That was too bad because I was just about to play in the play area when they said that I had toContinue reading “Doctor’s, driving, screen time”

Mommy bought me a candy making kit today. It was so colorful and pretty. I did a pretty good job dropping in the different color solutions to make tiny pearl candies. I was more interested in making and admiring them then eating them. I had a fruit jelly for dessert instead. It was very yummy!Continue reading “Tiny pearl candy making”

You would think that I would run out of things to make with my Magna-tiles since there are only a limited number of shapes. But nope, I just keep on creating new things. I made a bus that had a convenient ramp for the passengers to use to board. Neat, yeah?
