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.

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”
