Ehomaki
It is tradition to eat ehomaki on setsubun. It is supposed to represent longevity. I consumed my longevity very quickly and deliciously. I like traditions that involve eating delicious food.
Shopping helper
When we go shopping I’m quite the little helper. I push the shopping cart around and help pick things up that we need. Sometimes I pick up things that we don’t need as well.
Setsubun
Today is Setsubun and we learned about the origin of the celebration and the meaning of the changing of the seasons. After sitting nicely and learning about this, some of us did mamemaki and threw beanbags at an ogre poster. They wore masks to do this so I chose not to participate. After that we
Birthday cake
Daddy came home early enough today for us to celebrate his birthday properly with a happy birthday song and cake. I even threw in a happy birthday dance to make things more festive.
English lesson and colorful noodles
We had our English lesson today and as usual had a lot of fun learning. I’m often the first if not the only person to answer the English questions, but today it was a new topic for me so I really concentrated on learning the new words. We made colorful noodles today. My teacher asked
Happy Birthday Daddy!
I helped Mommy decorate the house for Daddy’s birthday, but he had to work late so we weren’t able to celebrate properly. We just took some photos and are planning to have cake tomorrow. But that doesn’t mean I don’t get to steal his thunder with all my posing in front of the decorations.
Practicing laughing
I was being silly and practicing laughing but I wouldn’t let Mommy get a full recording before demanding to see the video to check how it looked. I needed to see the recording right away.
Jumping and clay
It was a rainy day today so we couldn’t go out for our walk. But that doesn’t mean we didn’t stay active. We had a lot of fun playing on the gym mats and we did a lot of awesome jumping. Then we had some calmer play time with clay. Even when the weather is
New “Sonic” shoes
My new shoes arrived today! My old ones were getting quite beat up and holes started to appear where parts of the shoes fell off. I only had them for about half a year but they get pretty well worn. So I needed new shoes and found a pair that I liked online. They are
Concrete mixer
At the park today I noticed a concrete mixer and was fascinated by it. I like all construction vehicles. I noticed the lights were flashing so I wondered if it would start working but it did not. After watching the concrete mixer a bit I went to play with my friends. We ran around a
Fun at the park
On our way to the park we spotted a cat that got our full attention. At the park we flew our kites and then got into a very serious game of hide-and-seek. Then we just ran around and had fun! The time to head back to school came all too soon.
Posing and copying
I can be a funny goofball, especially because Daddy is a funny goofball. I like to copy him a lot. Today we took some posing pictures and we also had fun asking, “Are you happy?” and answering, “Yes, I am.”
“I love you, House”
I’ve been in a very loving mood these past few weeks. I tell Mommy and Daddy “I love you” out of the blue nearly every day. I also tell them that I’m happy and check to see if they are happy. I’m just a loving happy boy. Today I told my stuffed doggy, House, that I loved him. I sitting
Shrine visit
We met up with Baaba, Jiiji, and Obachan and visited a shrine together. It was different than the shrine we usually go to. There was this weird mouth passageway, which it is known for. The weather wasn’t great, but we still had fun. After the shrine visit we all came home and had lunch together.
Hamburger truck
I got a hamburger truck yesterday. I have wanted it for quite some time now. I have a calendar that shows different Tomica (read Japan HotWheels) every day. I skipped ahead and saw that there is a hamburger truck. I’ve been wanting it for a while. So I dipped into my savings and we went
