After so much fun time outside, it is hard to go back inside.

As with most weekends, I wanted to ride the bus today. So we decided to go on a picnic at the park. We prepared lunch and hopped on a bus to go to the park. Sometimes I eat sandwiches the wrong way, just like with pizza. It still taste the same so I don’t seeContinue reading “Bus, park, and picnic”

Mommy and Daddy had pizza today and I wanted to try a bit. It was really good! But I’m not used to eating pizza. Mommy and Daddy thought that I had an interesting way of eating pizza, crust first. I guess I’ll learn.

My friends and I found a dandelion at the park today. We couldn’t resist blowing their seeds into the wind. We also played on the slide a lot. We also played in the sandbox. I pretended to be working at a construction site and worked like an excavator and bulldozer.

I slept very well tonight. Maybe it was because of my little red Porsche that I brought to bed with me. A good night’s sleep because of car comfort.

Today on our walk we visited the observation deck of the prefectural office. We could see so far that we spotted a Shinkansen go by. I was so excited that I asked my teacher when it would come again. We waited patiently and watched carefully. Then I spotted another one and said, “There it is!”Continue reading “Observation deck”

I completely recovered from my cold and was full of energy today. When we went to the park I had a ton of fun running around with my classmates and teacher. While taking a water break we found some interesting bugs that we took some time to observe. They were running around and having funContinue reading “Running and bugs at the park”

I have big plans for when I grow up. Recently I have been making statements like, “When Mason get more big and more big, Mason drink coffee.” I’ve been making statements about all kinds of things that I know I’m too young to do right now. Things that I plan to drink when I getContinue reading “Mason more big and more big”

Today we went for a walk to see the fallen cherry blossoms. I was not feeling very energetic today so I opted to ride in the buggy instead. I could still enjoy the cherry blossom viewing even though I was in the buggy. We had our gymnastics class today, but I opted not to participate.Continue reading “Buggy walk and gymnastics spectating”

Today I helped Daddy cook dinner. We made meatloaf. There were a lot of vegetables so I needed to use my dump truck to help us cook. The meatloaf turned out really good and I ate it all up! For dessert I got to eat popcorn. I have been curious about popcorn since I haveContinue reading “Cooking with my dump truck”

I know I don’t look it, but I’m sick. I have a fever and a cough. It was a very busy weekend and it wore me out. Daddy stayed home to take care of me, even though I didn’t really need taking care of because I didn’t act sick at all. When the doctor’s openedContinue reading “Sick day”

We headed to the park today and the weather was awesome. We started off just playing on the slides, but then we switched to the main event: Easter egg hunt. We are a week late, but better late than never. I enjoyed this year’s Easter egg hunt a lot more than last year because IContinue reading “Easter egg hunt at the park”

Just helping out in the garden and planting some seeds. Taking a break in the nice warm sun. Helping Daddy make some guacamole. Building a parking garage.

At dinner I was looking at Daddy’s beer and announced, “When Mason get more big and more big Mason drink beer.” Daddy said that when I get more big in about 17 years (drinking age in Japan is 20) and if I want to drink a beer, he would be happy to have one withContinue reading “More big and more big”

Daddy’s coworkers came over today for a house party. I’m not really comfortable around strangers, but they figured out a way to get on my good side. They just fed me a lot of good food! That won me over. There was a three-year-old boy, and it was hard for me to relinquish my domainContinue reading “House party”

One of our guests today is a baby. So I was generous enough to set up my old baby mat for the baby. But then I got to playing and remember how much I liked this baby mat. It’s been a long time since I played with my baby mat and it was nice toContinue reading “Baby mat nostalgia”

We have guests coming over today. I had to make sure to get some driving practice in and then conduct an inspection to make sure everything was squared away. After a thorough inspection I needed a snack.
