We had a nice long walk in the park today. We made sure to stop by and see the ducks in the pond. I told them good morning. When we saw a flowers and cats as well. We made sure to take frequent water breaks. Even though we visit the park a lot, there isContinue reading “Nice long park walk”

When Mommy and I get home from school I often like to check the mailbox for mail. Sometimes I check it from the outside but often I check it from the inside. I also like to ring our doorbell as well, even if I know no one is going to answer. I just like beingContinue reading “Mail and bell”

We had fun playing with balls and running around at the park. But the real excitement was on the way to the park where we saw construction vehicles working. I told my teacher excitedly that the excavator was “eating” leaves as it dug a whole. Before we head out on our walks I’m always watchingContinue reading

Today we got to harvest some onions from our sister-school’s garden. It was hard pulling them out at the beginning and then they just popped out. It was so cool to see what the onions look like before they get to the supermarket. Today during our gymnastics class I made a lot of progress. IContinue reading “Onion harvesting and the bar”

On our way to the park we saw some duck in the pond. We like to visit them and look for the little ducklings. I must have been feeling anxious because I was touching my piko (belly button) the whole time. At the park we had fun racing around, playing with balls, and chasing bubbles.Continue reading “Walk & Park”

Recently every day is a bit of a battle. I survived the terrible twos but the tormenting threes are hitting me hard. I get very upset about the smallest things nowadays. If I’m in a bad mood I am disagreeable with everything. I say no to everything. And everything upsets me. I end up beingContinue reading “Tantrums”

Best part of having pizza for dinner is the inevitable leftover pizza another day. Yum! I had a great pizza dinner and even had some of Mommy’s Mother’s Day gift for dessert. Yum yum!

We had another great English lesson! I know it is not really a lesson for me, but I love the games we play and I do learn a lot of new words that I hadn’t picked up at home. Also, my classmates like learning from me so I enjoy helping out the class! Although IContinue reading “English lesson”

I’ve really been into my remote control cars lately. Daddy and I have been playing with them a lot. The funny thing is that Papa gave me these cars over a year ago when they visited for my second birthday. It was the right gift, but just a bit early. I’m making up for lostContinue reading “Remote control cars”

My good friend came over to play today and we exchanged birthday gifts, since our birthdays are only a few days apart. We liked our gifts and thanked each other, and then we went straight to playing together. We get along so well. We also are having so much fun that we all forget toContinue reading “Birthday exchange”

Playing in the laundry hamper. Why? Because it is a lot of fun of course. Have you tried it? You should. Speaking of laundry. I also got into some of Daddy’s laundry and I guess it doesn’t quite fit me yet.

Daddy and I always have a lot of fun playing together. We often come up with goofy fun things to do. Today we did stuffed animal belly sumo. Awesome!

Mommy met up with some college friends today at the train station, so Daddy and I headed off to catch a train: a train ride on the roof of the station. It was pretty cool. As usual, I don’t really show my emotion, but I really enjoyed the train ride and talked about it aContinue reading “Hakata Station train ride”

Today my nursery school has a field trip to the zoo! It is a bit of a ways to get there but I woke up without trouble and off we went. Last year we took the subway, but since I have grown fond of riding buses, we took buses to get there and found thatContinue reading “School Zoo Field Trip”

Mommy had to work late today so Daddy picked me up from school. We had a nice walk and nice talk. I am very curious and stopped to look at so many things and asked about so many things. We had a great (albeit random) talk on our walk home. Mommy usually picks me upContinue reading “Daddy pickup”

We visited the prefectural office today, and after visiting the observation floor we checked out the food display in front of the cafe. It looked so delicious. There were so many things we wanted to eat there. We also checked out the exhibits. I didn’t really understand what they were but they were very pretty.Continue reading “Prefectural office and group picture”

At the park today we ran around a bit, but I spent most of my time at the “construction site”. My excavator and front loaders were busy moving dirt around and building things. It was a very active construction site.

My new shoes arrived today. I can still wear my current shoes, but they are getting tight and quite worn out. It has only been a few months and I’m already growing out of and wearing out my shoes. At this pace my shoes budget is going to be huge. I was very excited aboutContinue reading “New shoes arrived”
