Bikkuri bako (surprise box)

Mommy got some old milk cartons and made a bikkuri bako (surprise box) for me. I definitely was surprised, but the first time did not work as well as she wanted. The second time was very surprising. Even Mommy was surprised.

Book lover

Today we had a crafts activity that I didn’t really want to do. I finished quickly and then found some quiet time with a book. I love reading books. Especially picture encyclopedias. My favorite ones are of cars of course.

Practice driving

My new thing is to practice driving in the car. It all started when I found my baby toy steering wheel and found it fun to practice driving with that. Then I would ask to sit in the car to push some buttons. Recently I have been asking to practice driving where I press buttons,

Pretty flowers

On our walk today we saw some pretty flowers on display. I liked all the different colors! We also saw some dogs and ducks when we walked through the park. It is amazing how much there is to see on a short walk.

Older kids’ aerobics

The older kids’ had aerobics class today and I was very interested in it. My teachers noticed my interest and invited me to join, but was too shy and I elected to just watch from the sidelines.

Long walk

We went for a long walk today. We visited the park and saw some ducks and a lot of pretty flowers. We also when by a shrine so we practiced out bowing. It was nice to be outside in the nice sunny weather.

Staying home from school

I still had a fever today, so I had to stay home from school. Daddy took the day off to watch me. We had a great time. We played, watched videos, chatted a lot, and just had a great time. I didn’t really act sick. You would never have guessed that I was sick if

Fever

I’ve been a bit under the weather these past few days. I actually went home early from school on Friday because of a runny nose, cough, and a mild fever. I have been in a considerably good mood, but just a bit run down with a smaller appetite than usual. But today my fever got

Park picnic and play

We decided to go to the park for a picnic today. It was quite nice outside and we had a great lunch. Then we had a lot of fun playing. I am a creature of repetition so we did the same things over and over. Daddy and I sat on these rocking bugs and I

Sunday morning TV

Nothing says Sunday morning more than cuddling in a blanket to lazily watch TV.

Calendar future

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.

Posing

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.

Funny video

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!

Running

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.” “There

Ice cream = haircut

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 then
