We picked up a toy box today. The Amazon cardboard boxes were just not cutting it. My new toy box is really cool. Not only is it big and I can sit on it, but it is a fire engine! Cool!

Every time we go to the baby store to pick up clothes or essentials, I always plant myself in the toy aisle and sample everything there. I’m pretty good at understanding we are not buying toys, but I do spend a lot of time there and do not want to leave. But after a few time warnings

We went out for breakfast today and I got my own toast and hard-boiled egg. Everything was delicious. After I finished my breakfast I started eyeing Mommy’s breakfast. She was kind enough to share with me, but I wasn’t happy with the portions I was getting. Mommy and Daddy tried to explain that it was Mommy’s food and that

Daddy thought we all deserved some dessert so he bought mini cream puffs for us. I liked them because not only were they delicious but they were also bite size. I don’t think Mommy and Daddy thought they would be bite size for a toddler like me but I just shoved them right in my mouth in

When you use the bathroom you are supposed to wash your hands. Even when you are just having your diaper changed. You don’t know how dirty the bathroom may be.

At my request, we went for a bus ride again today. I was so happy to be on the bus again. You would think I was on a ride at a theme park or something.

I love playing with my cars. But sometimes I play with them so much that they get sleepy. So I let them take a nap.

Daddy made me another towel dress at my request. This one was quite long and elegant.

Today on our walk we visited the prefectural office. They had a cycling exhibit and a tea exhibit. Looking at bicycles is not as exciting as looking at trains, but it is better than nothing. The tea exhibit was pretty interesting and I looked at every display. In my class, there are a lot of us who like

While reading a book with Daddy this morning I thought that Baby Mason was eyeing the food so I shared some of the book food with him. Since he is a Mason, he really liked it.

I’m getting better at doing things on my own. I can put my shoes on by myself (most of the time) when we leave the house. I can take them off when I get to school. There are days when I choose not to, but the fact is I can do it. As with most

When we go to the park sometimes we like to play train. Usually we get in a line and run on a track. Today we just kind of clustered around our teacher and forced her to go here and there. I often like to hang out with the younger class and as an upperclassman I

Peace! It is a very Japanese thing to show the peace sign when taking pictures. Sometimes I don’t like having my picture taken, but sometimes I’m okay with it. Peace!

At the park today we stopped by to check on the ducks. They were all happy and doing well. We moved on to go play in the park. I spent most of my time collecting acorns. I had quite a collection to bring home.

As you know, I like to play with my doggies and my Baby Mason cushion. So Mommy and Daddy thought that I could use a little playmate. Introducing Ao-kun. He is a little buddy doll. We hit it off from the very beginning.

Tonight we went for a walk on a dessert run. We just went down to the 7-11, which was not very far, but it was a nice evening walk. And I really like the fruit jelly dessert that I chose. Yum!
