Walk and prefectural office visit

We went for a nice walk today and saw a lot of pretty plum blossoms. We also visited the prefectural office top floor so that we could see out into the city. There were so many cars to see that I was very excited and happy. I was, however, a bit difficult when we got

Construction site at the park

Today at the park I played construction site. I dug holes like and excavator and then covered them up like a bulldozer. I narrated what I was doing by saying, “Pouring sand” and “Hardening the cement”. My friends joined in and we had a very busy construction site.

Dancing in the elevator hall

When Mommy came to pick me up from school today, I did a cute little dance for her. She wanted to get in on camera so asked me to do it again, but I insisted on seeing the video even though she hadn’t taken it yet. I finally did a mini version of the original,

Valentine’s Day dessert

Mommy went through a lot of trouble making me a special healthy Valentine’s day dessert: Banana cocoa shake. I appreciate the effort, but if I’m being honest, I did not really like it. It was a bit bitter from the cocoa. Thank you for thought and effort, Mommy!

Cooking and chasing at the park

We played in the sand a lot today and “cooked” a lot of food. A lot of us made curry. We also ran around a lot and played chase. I asked my teacher to be “it” and chase us, but then when she chased me I told her “Stop! Don’t chase me!” She asked me

Valentine’s Day card

I got a really cool Valentine’s Day card from Nana and Papa. Somehow they always find greeting cards that have awesome cars in them. I don’t know how they do it. It always makes me happy to get cards from them. I can’t wait for the next one. Thank you, Nana and Papa! And happy

“I love you, Mommy”

Telling Daddy that I love Mommy and then telling Mommy directly…again and again.

Walking the line

Today at the park we ran around a lot. At one point our teacher drew train tracks for us to follow and we happily walked the line. We also pretended to be dinosaurs. We roared and chased each other around. I had so much fun being a dinosaur that before our nap I told my

Serious baby face

I think my face has changed a lot from when I was a newborn baby. But every so often you catch a glimpse of the baby face I once had.

Park

At the park today, Daddy and I were arguing about who would go on the slide first. Daddy suggested we play janken (rock paper scissors), probably thinking that he would win easily. He was so wrong. I repeatedly beat him. It was actually quite amazing. Either I’m really good at janken or Daddy is really

Cooking help

As usual, when I found out that Daddy was cooking, I volunteered to help out.

Babyhood reminiscing

Every so often I rediscover my baby toys and start playing with them. There is a bit of reminiscent nostalgia that I enjoy. It makes it hard to get rid of old toys because Mommy and Daddy cannot claim that I don’t play with them anymore. Everything actually does get played with at some time.

Happy driving practice

Still keeping up with my driving practice. Practice makes perfect you know.

Happy birthday to Baaba

It was Baaba’s birthday so I decided to get her some pretty flowers! But when we were at the flower shop, I spotted some plastic lemons that I thought she would love, so I got that instead of flowers. Daddy convinced me to get some other plastic flowers as well, but I was insistent on

Describing my haircuts

When talking to Jiiji, Baaba, and Obachan today, my haircuts came up. I explained to them what those are like. I explained to them that I get to watch YouTube and eat some special dessert like jello or ice cream. I was very emphatic about not liking the hair clipper noise, but let them know that I did
