The weather was really nice today and we had a great time running in the park. Boy, did we run a lot. At school we had gymnastics class, but I chose not to participate. I’m not really sure why, but I just didn’t want to. I decided to stand on the sidelines and just cheerContinue reading “Running in the park, no gymnastics”

I approve of this meal!

As always we had a lot of fun during our weekly English lesson. But it was bittersweet because it was our last lesson with Aaron-sensei. He is moving and will not be able to teach us anymore. We will definitely miss him. I think I came out of my shell the most during our EnglishContinue reading “Goodbye Aaron-sensei”

Before we started our walk we made sure to water our green pepper plant. We don’t have much at our school, especially because we are on the fourth floor of a building, but we try to take care of the plants that we have. I asked my teacher about it and she told me thatContinue reading “Watering plants at school”

Lying in bed after being put down to sleep I had another one of my here and there conversations with daddy. I recapped the day and talked about how I treated my friend who came over. I said that she was happy and sad. She was happy to see me and to play with me.Continue reading “Bedtime recap”

I was so excited to have my friend over and after eating lunch we were having so much fun playing. But all of a sudden I felt like pretending to be asleep. I’m not sure why I decided to do it. But my pretend sleep was interrupted by a delivery. Daddy decided to share hisContinue reading “Friend visit”

I was feeling very bouncy this morning. I had a lot to be excited about. My friend is coming over today and I just couldn’t contain my excitement.

Daddy got a new camera stand, but it looked surprisingly like a Japanese topknot. So I tried it on. It looks pretty good.

Overall, I eat very balanced and healthily. I love my fruits and vegetables, so I never really had a problem those. I also like rice, breads, and pasta. And of course I like my meat. I just like to eat. But little by little I’ve been discovering the sweeter side of eating. What I amContinue reading “Candy”

At the prefectural office they had a ikebana exhibit where they let us try our hand at arranging flowers. I was very focused and I think I did pretty good. Look at my flower arrangement? Nice, yeah? After that we went to the park and ran around a lot. It was so much fun!

I rediscovered one of my Christmas presents, which was still a bit too advanced for me, but I gave it another shot. It was still a little difficult but I’m working on it and getting better at in. One of these days I’ll be able to put together my own car if I keep workingContinue reading “Construction toy”

We had another great English lesson today. I always enjoy them! On our walk today we saw a cat in the park and it was the focus of everything. It was a huge thing for all of us and we all were happy to just see a cat up close.

We weren’t really sure what to eat for lunch today, but when Mommy and Daddy asked me what I wanted to eat I kind of went to my standard answer “hamburger”. I was very happy with my Happy Meal, which I, of course, finished. There wasn’t a toy that I particularly wanted, but I wasContinue reading “Happy happy meal”

I was so excited to see that there was construction going on outside of our house and there was an excavator and dump truck right there for me to watch. And watch I did. I just stayed there and watch enthralled. It was the best kind of free entertainment for a kid like me. IContinue reading “Close construction”
