I’ve been in serious potty training for a couple of months now with mixed results. I’ve been doing quite well at school, doing poopy in the toilet here and there. First it just started with me going to the potty area at school on my own and then pooping in my diaper. Then I graduallyContinue reading “Potty training success”

I threw a bit of tantrum today. I have these tantrums from time to time. Today’s tantrum is the nori tantrum, even though it is not necessarily about nori. I just didn’t want to stop watching TV to eat lunch. But I got all upset about the lack of nori involvement in lunch. Actually, IContinue reading “Nori tantrum”

Today was Mother’s Day so the first thing we did was let Mommy sleep in. When I woke up, Daddy took care of me, fed me, and dressed me. When Mommy got up I helped her eat her donuts, as a good son should (even though I had my own a couple hours earlier). WeContinue reading “Happy Mother’s Day!”

One app that I added to my goto list when i have iPad time is a spelling app called Endless ABCs. It is really cute and teaches you new words, how to spell, and the sounds and names of all the letters. I really like it and find it an interesting conversation starter for otherContinue reading “Spelling app”

My brushing teeth app has a morning exercise video that I assume is meant to be used early in the morning to help get you up and energized to face the day. I like to use it after I finish brushing my teeth and right before I’m supposed to calm down and go to sleep.Continue reading “Morning exercise before bedtime”

When asked what I wanted to eat for dinner, I answered “meat” so we went out for yakiniku for my birthday celebration dinner! We had a lot of fun and I ate so much! Of course I ate a lot of meat, but I ate a lot of fruits and vegetables too from the saladContinue reading “My birthday celebration dinner”

We decided to head to the park today, and what better way to get there than by Mercedes. I was traveling in style! At the park we had our usual fun on the slide and running around, but I also got to use my new bubble wand from Legoland! It was so cool that IContinue reading “Going to the park in my new ride”

I’m very good about washing my hands. We always wash our hands at school and I always remember to wash my hands when we get home and before meals. Daddy showed me how to wash both sides of my hands and between my fingers and each individual. I also know that I’m supposed wash myContinue reading “Washing hands”

We already had a birthday celebration for May birthdays earlier, but today was a mini birthday celebration just for me. There was a special interview where my teacher asked me about my favorite things. When asked what my favorite toy was, my answer did not change from earlier this week: bus. The day actually didContinue reading “Birthday at school”

Mommy had to work late today, so Daddy left work early to pick me up. I was very independent and put my socks on by myself, said goodbye to my teacher, and then put my shoes on all by myself. When we were in the school I didn’t say much, but once Daddy and IContinue reading “Daddy pickup”

On our walk at school we spotted a cat in the park. It caught all of our attention. We love spotting different animals on our walks. (Although I prefer to spot different cars on our walks.) It is getting pretty warm so we made sure to take breaks in the shade while playing in theContinue reading “School walk”

Daddy got off work relatively early and Mommy and I were still on our way home when he arrived at the station, so we decided to stop by our local teishoku restaurant so that I could get an aji fry (fried horse mackerel) meal. As always I ate everything up. Remember, that this is aContinue reading “Aji fry dinner and mango jelly”

When I got home from school today, I just had to hop on my Mercedes for a mini drive in the living room. I also assembled some of my old cars and new cars to have a bit of a meet and greet so that everyone was properly introduced. It would make it easier forContinue reading “Cars, assemble”

It was nice to be back at school and see all my friends and teachers. I told them about my trip to Legoland and how I rode an airplane. It might sound confusing because of course I rode the Shinkansen to Nagoya, but at Legoland Daddy and I flew and airplane and that is whatContinue reading “At the park”

Since I got ready so quickly this morning, I had some time for a short drive before I headed off to school.

I got ready especially early today just so that I could play with my birthday gift from my cousins. Daddy worked really hard last night to put it together for me. It is so cool. I actually picks up the garbage and puts it into the back. Then you can dump it too! It looksContinue reading “Recycle garbage truck”
