I was so happy with the new firetruck I got from the restaurant that when we went to the park today, I just had to bring it along with me. I had fun playing with it around the park, up and down the slide, and even on our walk back home.

On our walk back home after the nursery school graduation ceremony we ran into my friends. They were headed out to breakfast/lunch and asked if we would join them. I eagerly said yes. We all headed to a nearby family restaurant. I ate a hearty second breakfast, let’s just call it brunch, and then IContinue reading “Brunch with classmates”

My nursery school had a graduation ceremony for the elder class, Hoshi (Star) Class. We have three classes of different age groups, from youngest to oldest, Umi (ocean), Sora (Sky), which is my class, and Hoshi (Star) class. It was a very nice ceremony but I was a little sad because that class will notContinue reading “Elder class graduation ceremony”

Daddy was gone on a business trip yesterday and I was asleep before he got home. So when I woke up I was very happy to see him. I was also very happy to see the toy he got me from Haneda airport. It was a ANA set. I already have a JAL set fromContinue reading “Waking up to a gift”

While eating a mandarin orange I was suddenly struck with the need to show Obachan the picture of me eating the mandarin orange. I asked Mommy to send the picture to Obachan. She said she would but I insisted that she send it NOW. It was so good that I just had to share. TheContinue reading “Mandarin orange”

When I tell Alexa that I like her, she sings a special song to me. Then I do a special dance to that song.

At the park today we played Darumasan ga koronda, which is like red light green light. It was a lot of fun to play the game, but for the most part we just enjoyed running around. At school, I’m expressing myself more and more. I tell my teachers and friends about my likes and dislikes.Continue reading “Red light, Green light”

I often get up in the middle of the night and when I realize I’m alone in bed I seek out Mommy. Not Daddy, only Mommy. I groggily stagger over to her, get a big hug, and get taken back to bed, feeling safe and happy again. I usually quickly fall right back asleep.

Treats after dinner. Thinking about Obachan. Silly sounds.

There were a lot of smiles today when we ran around the park. It is so good to get out and stretch our legs. TOday at school when I was playing with blocks I made a carwash. I narrated to my teacher what I was doing, talking about the soap suds on the car andContinue reading “Running around the park”

I like eggs a lot. But I especially like hard-boiled eggs. Maybe it is because that is the first way I ate eggs when I was a baby. They are so simple and delicious. Now, I even like cracking the hard-boiled eggs open. It is a fun process for delicious food.

We had a nice walk today and then we headed to the prefectural office. We went up to the observation deck to see what we could see. I don’t know what my classmates saw, but I saw a lot of cool cars!

What a nice sunny day to play in the park. I had a lot of fun in the sandbox.

It was that time again. Haircut time. I don’t like haircuts because it gets very prickly. Maybe it is because I refuse to wear the smock that keeps the hair off of me. At least I get to eat some jelly and watch some YouTube. Oh, and I get a pretty descent haircut in theContinue reading “Haircut”

Daddy and I decided to wash the car today. I’m such a big boy now that I’m much more a big help than before. I washed and rinsed all kinds of parts of the car. I wasn’t exactly consistent about where I washed, but I at least got some parts very clean.
