Why does Daddy not look rested in the morning? Because this is how he sleeps.

Sunday morning means I get to watch TV with breakfast, so I really take advantage of it. Today I watched Blippi. We played a lot, chatted with Nana and Papa, and got an Easter card because it is Easter Sunday! But we are not going to have our Easter Egg hunt today. We have differentContinue reading “Blippi, parfait, and articulated bus”

I am really expanding my snack world. There was a time when most of my snacks were fruits or somewhat healthy things, but now I like to eat candy! Of course, I still love my fruits, and will often supplement my candy snack with a banana or apple to help fill my tummy. We wentContinue reading “Snack, park, play, cheese”

It has been a couple of weeks since I started at my new school and we have got into a nice rhythm and routine. Mommy does the pick ups. Daddy gets me ready in the morning and takes care of drop offs. More and more, I kind of self manage and do what I haveContinue reading “Pick ups and drop offs”

I like to watch TV, but I pretty much went through all my favorite shows several times through. I know every Paw Patrol episode available on Netflix and every Tayo the Little Bus episode as well. I think I saw every Curious George and Shawn the Sheep too. So I try to branch out andContinue reading “Peppa Pig fan”

I’ve already gotten used to my new school. There are a lot of things that are different, but nothing that is bad. I am part of a class of 20, and I kind of like it. We are given a lot of responsibility and also freedom. The nice part is that also creates structure, whichContinue reading “Mornings”

Recently I have been wanting to go to a car wash. One of my favorite shows is Carl’s Car Wash, but we haven’t been able to find a car wash like that here in Japan. In Carl’s Car Wash the vehicles go on a conveyor belt and go through the car wash. In Japan, youContinue reading “Car wash”

Today we went to a new play area near Costco. Before we went, I had to get warmed up a bit with some morning exercises. We got to the Costco area and I had one of my favorite lunches: omurice. Naturally I ate everything up. I had a full belly and I was in aContinue reading “New Play Area”

Mommy had to work today, so it was just Daddy and me in the morning. But we went to meet Mommy at a Nepal Festival that was going on in the city. So we hopped on a bus and had a fun ride into the city. When we got there, we saw that some springContinue reading “Nepal Festival”

Mommy had something tonight so Daddy took off a bit early and picked me up from school. I was thrilled to see him! Although I like school, I got ready to go home very quickly and then we were headed out of the school. The toy for a Happy Meal is Tomica right now, soContinue reading “Daddy pick up”

I got ready pretty quickly today so I had time to play with my toys. I wanted to replace some stickers on my Tomica, so I got to work on that. I sometimes ask Daddy to help me with putting stickers on my toys, but these were too small for him to see, so IContinue reading “Good day”

Just acting silly while playing with sliding doors. Yes, doors can be fun!

Tracking my good behavior through Gohoubi Stickers. Sometimes when I misbehave, my toys get put on timeout. This is a way for me to get them out of timeout by showing good behavior. Kind of like parole.

There are a lot more things for me to do when I get to my new school. I have to change from outdoor shoes to indoor shoes, I have to go to my classroom to put my stuff in my locker, then I have to gather at a classroom with the other students. It hasn’tContinue reading

Mommy has been baking a lot lately, and being a bit of a foodie, I always have to take a picture of her yummy desserts before I devour them.
