At the park today, we all had a great time chasing balls around. We worked up a good sweat. We also looked for some pretty flowers. Sure, the most abundant flowers are actually weeds, but they are still pretty.

One of my usual parts of my breakfasts these days is bread with jam. Usually Daddy spreads it for me, but sometimes I like to do it on my own (to get a little more jam on there). I also can dress myself when I’m feeling independent. No, I did not mess up putting on

Somethings change, somethings don’t.

Before leaving school I just had to take a dive onto the big cushion in our book room. Then I chose a book to borrow and off we went. It was a raining day and I was really happy because I got to wear all my rain gear! After dinner I had a cookie for

We had our English lesson today and I had a great time. We practiced our colors and bug names. And we sang the Itsy Bitsy Spider. I know the song well, but I had a hard time with the hand movements. Later we did ice painting. Our teachers froze some colored water on sticks and

While Mommy cooked dinner tonight I prepared a meal of my own. I made hamburger steak, hot dogs, soup and ice cream for dessert. It was actually a menu suggestion because this is what I actually wanted to eat. When Daddy came home we had some TV time together.

I really like taking care of the babies in our nursery school. Since I am an upperclassman I feel that it is my responsibility to take care of the kids that are littler than me. Some mornings I go around patting the babies or giving them hugs. If they cry I sometimes bring them a

Some mornings I get up on time but I don’t really get up.

Daddy got done with work on time and actually caught up with Mommy and me on our way home. I was so happy to see him! On the way home we saw the neighborhood stray cat. Daddy was trying to get it to come closer to us by holding out his and making a noise

We headed to the prefectural office observatory today. We could see really far and there was a lot to look at. I even spotted an ambulance and let everyone know. We were all very excited to see it.

I’m very happy to see Mommy when she picks me up from school. I appreciate all she does for me. It must be tough being a mom. I tried to see what it was like by walking a bit in her shoes. I don’t think I’m ready to be a mom yet. Tonight I wanted

We fun at the park again today. We started off chasing our teacher around playing cops and robbers. And we finished off by looking for and looking at all kinds of bugs. I tried to find some grasshoppers, but there were none to be found. I did find some pill bugs and a lot of

After not knowing what to wear today I decided to go all in and go with a construction worker outfit. And I also figured that I should do the work that matched the outfit.

After I ate all my dinner I had some juice that Daddy got for me and dessert. Daddy’s coworker got us all some pies and she got a peach pie just for me. I was so excited and happy! It was delicious! The pie was so delicious and sweet that I had a bit of

At the park today we visited our favorite little pond and checked up on the ducks and ducklings. They were very cute and we enjoyed watching them for a bit. Then we headed off to play. We ran around a lot and I really enjoyed chasing bubbles.

We visited the subway station today. Even though we didn’t get to see and trains, we were really excited just to be at the station. Maybe one day our walks will take us onto a train on off on a long adventure. Back at school we had a lot of fun mixing paint and water

I seem to be getting bigger by the day. Maybe the way I sleep sometimes helps me stretch out and get tall.

Mommy had a bunch of stuffed animals before me and I kind of just automatically adopted them. There were a bunch of doggies that she and Daddy won at claw games, but there are a few that she bought for herself, like Stella Lou whom she got at Tokyo Disneyland.
