Mommy and Daddy got me a cool daily calendar with Tomica (like Japan’s version of HotWheels) on it. I enjoy opening a new page every day. But I enjoy it even more looking ahead at all the cool cars and trucks to come.

I can be a ham sometimes and really shine for the camera. I can be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed even early in the morning. Daddy…not so much.

I have a very sensitive funny bone and when I find something funny I find it hilarious! Mommy showed me a funny video and I cracked up over it again and again. I kept making her play it for me. It was so funny!

We did a lot of running at the park. We ran after balls. We ran after each other. We even had a race. But for the most part we just ran for the fun of it. While at the park I also reported on the vehicles that we saw. “There is a mail truck.” “ThereContinue reading “Running”

Daddy came home earlier than usual today and found that Mommy and I had just finished dinner. As a treat, he suggested we go get some ice cream. I was very excited about this, but then paused and said, “No, buibui.” It took Mommy and Daddy a few seconds to understand what I was talking about, but thenContinue reading “Ice cream = haircut”

Today was a sunny day so we went to the park to fly the kites that we made. It was so much fun! They really did fly! Well, they didn’t exactly soar, but they were off the ground for the most part. We also played with bubbles. First our teacher blew bubbles and then weContinue reading “Kites and bubbles”

Even in my sleep, Daddy is my buddy.

These past few days when Daddy has been giving me my bath I have been randomly telling him “happy” out of the blue. We might be in the middle of a conversation or I might be getting my hair shampooed when I just say “happy”. Often more than once. I think this makes Daddy very happy to hear. DaddyContinue reading ““I love you””

Today’s pre-bath pants hat looked like a topknot. I liked how the waistband squished down on my eyes. Daddy tried to fix it so it didn’t but I insisted he put it back down.

It was rainy today so we couldn’t go for our walk at school. Instead we played on the trampoline. The trampoline was fun, but I enjoyed lining up for it more because it was like I was a train on a track. We also made and decorated kites. We plan to fly them the nextContinue reading “Indoor fun”

This is my body, and it is beautiful! It is important to express your body in its true form. (By the way, that is my pants on my head.)

After a long school day, I just want to sit back, relax, and watch some TV. Mommy is nice enough to do all the cooking to allow me this much needed me-time. Then I get to enjoy the wonderful meal that she prepares. Thank you, Mommy!

On our school walk we visited the nearby shrine. I was not that excited since I had just been there a couple of days ago. But there were some new things to see. We all enjoyed looking at the different stalls that lined the streets nearby. We also enjoyed a monkey performance. Boy that isContinue reading “Shrine visit”

The hardest thing about winter time baths is getting out of the bath. It is so nice and warm in the bath that coming out is quite a shock. I don’t even want to get unwrapped from my towel to put clothes on. It is just too cold!

I always have fun at the park, but today I made extra sure that Mommy and Daddy also joined in on the fun. They had a ton of fun, but I think I may have worn them out. I might have to take their age into consideration next time.

We headed out to dinner, but the weather turned cold real fast. I was pretty cold so we stopped by a store and found these awesome police car gloves to keep my hands warm. I was very happy to have them! With my toasty gloves on, I did not mind the walk to the restaurantContinue reading “Gloves”

We went to a nearby shrine for hatsumode, or the first shrine visit of the year. Before we went Daddy was trying to teach me how to pray at the shrine. I did pretty good, but added my own silly twist to it. The shrine visit went well. I even got my fortune and itContinue reading “Hatsumode”

Recently, there is more cross over with my toys when I play with them. One of my favorite things to do is make houses and car transporters for my HotWheels out of Magnatiles. I sometimes have Daddy make things for me based on the pictures on the box, but other times I come up withContinue reading “Magnatile car transporter”
