Racing at the park. We had our English lesson with our new teacher Oliver-sensei. It was a lot of fun and it took me no time to get use to having a new teacher. He introduced himself to all of us and when he asked me my name, I told him, “I’m Shoma.” That’s allContinue reading

We were walking to school this morning, listening to one of my kids’ songs, and there was a line, “Nice to meet you”. I heard that and I told Daddy. “Meat is yummy.”

For some reason my bed was bumpier than usual. I’m not sure why. I’m not sure I’ll be able to sleep like this.

We had a nice walk to the prefectural office. There was so much to look at.

I was happy to see that Daddy got home early enough to have dinner with us. He also came home with some goodies. After I ate all my dinner and drank all my milk I got to eat the pudding that Daddy brought home for me. It was so yummy! After eating I had timeContinue reading “Daddy’s home”

When we got to school today we had to wait for our turn to get in. While waiting I spotted a bus in the distance, even through all the rain. We started the day with our rhythmic class. Then we played with some clay. We did some coloring too. Even though we couldn’t go outContinue reading “Rainy day”

I got ready for school very quickly this morning so I had some time to play before we left. I made a pickup truck with my magnatiles. I even added a convenient little ramp so that my Hotwheels could up into the cab to drive the pickup truck. On our walk at the park weContinue reading “Busy day”

Tonight after dinner, I brought my dishes to the kitchen and told Mommy, “Mama, thank you for making dinner” without any prompting or anything. It was just something that I felt had to be said. Mommy was very happy to hear me say that. I was very happy to say it as well. It isContinue reading “Thanks”

It is the start of a new school year. This will be my last year at my nursery school. Next year I will be moving on to a preschool. I can’t believe how quickly the time has gone by. Just two years ago I first started at my school and even though it was aContinue reading “New school year”

Just laughing for no real reason. Isn’t that just the best reason?

We headed to Umi no Nakamichi for our traditional hanami pictures. Every year since Mommy was pregnant with me, we’ve been going to Umi no Nakamichi for cherry blossom viewing. We got to test out our wagon and it worked great. What a smooth ride! According to Daddy it was pretty easy to pull andContinue reading “Umi no Nakamichi – Hanami”

Happy Easter everybody! Easter is not a big holiday here in Japan, but Nana and Papa always send a card as a reminder. And, look, I even got some spending cash too! Thank you! Even though it is Easter Sunday I was told that the Easter Bunny is very busy and he is going toContinue reading “Happy Easter”

As I usually do, I asked if we could ride a bus today. We didn’t really have specific plans to, but Mommy and Daddy managed to arrange dinner plans that required a bus ride, which was awesome. Dinner was great! But the star was dessert! The restaurant had an ice cream bar that we tookContinue reading “Bus to dinner”

While at the park we found a ladybug. Which was very lucky because I had been looking for one since we got to the park. We weren’t too hopeful to find one but then while playing we just saw one land nearby. Then I followed it intently. Later Daddy and I played not-catch.

During our FaceTime chat with Nana and Papa I started to disappear and wander off. So Nana and Papa started to do the same. When I came back, they came back. Then it naturally developed into a game. I would run off and when I looked back at the iPad, Nana and Papa were nowhereContinue reading “FaceTime hide and seek with Nana and Papa”

We decided that it was time for me to have some proper rain gear for when it rains. I’m getting to big to carry when it rains. Not only am I bigger and heavier, but trying to manage an umbrella to keep me dry is really hard for Mommy and Daddy. So if I haveContinue reading “Rain gear shopping”
