Trying to go after Mommy

Mommy had an appointment this morning, so she got up early and headed out before I woke up. But I heard the door close and popped awake right after she left. I quickly realized that she was gone and tried to go after her. I was so sad. I wanted my Mommy. It took Daddy […]

Smell exhibition and lunch

We visited the smell exhibition on our walk again today. We were all very into smelling everything. There were no weird smells, only good smells. There were a lot of good smells. It was a good way to get our appetite going for lunch.

Bathing myself

I’m getting to be such a big boy. I can even wash myself in the bath. Mommy still had to give me a wash to make sure I got everywhere clean, but I did a pretty good job on my own.

Out to eat

Daddy was home surprisingly early today and Mommy and I hadn’t eaten yet. So he suggest that we all go out for dinner. It was a nice unplanned dinner out that was a lot of fun! Not only did I eat well and behave well, but I was very talkative. I asked a lot of

Grasshoppers and chase

Today at the park my teacher caught a grasshopper and showed it to us. We were very intrigued to see one up close. We have seen them hopping around before but we never got a chance to really examine them. Cool! After that, it was time to run around and play chase! In our version

Elevator seat

Just walking to school can be quite tiring. So even though my nursery school is only on the 4th floor, I usually take seat for the ride.

Under dress

No, no, I’m not under duress. I’m under “dress”.

Happy Birthday Mommy

Today was Mommy’s birthday so we had a mini celebration for her. Daddy picked up some cake for each of us so we could all have our own. Mommy was very surprised and happy. I was happy too because I got to eat my very own pudding cup. It was very rich and yummy! Mommy

Sand cooking

Today at the park we had some beach toys so we could play with the sand. I was cooking up a storm with all the sand. I know it doesn’t sound appetizing but it is all natural organic and low in calories.

Itai no itai no tonde ike (Ouchie, fly away)

When kids in Japan get hurt, their parents say, “Itai no itai no tonde ike” or (Ouchie, fly away). When Mommy does that, my ouchie often ends up landing on Daddy who says “Itai itai itai” or “Ouchie ouchie ouchie”. I think it is so funny, so even though I wasn’t hurt, I was saying

English lesson

We had a fun English lesson today. We learned a lot and did a lot. Aaron-sensei was picking some of us up and we all loved it. But I held back. I enjoyed watching other be picked up instead of being picked up myself. We also went for a walk to the prefectural office today.

Hakozaki Shrine

For today’s walk we walked to the Hakozaki Shrine. Well, some of us walked. Many of us rode. It was an interesting change, but I think I much prefer going to the park to play.

Piggy back to school

Most days Daddy carries me to school, but every so often I prefer to get a piggyback ride. We don’t get to talk as much, but at least I can see where we are going.

Ear socks

Daddy wanted me to put my socks on, but I refused. So he put it on my ears. I didn’t want to put socks on my feet, but I didn’t mind them on my ears.

Picnic at the park

Today we went to the park for a picnic. Mommy made spam musubi and Daddy made somen salad. We had quite a spread. It was a great meal and it was even more fun to eat outside. After eating it was time to play. Our first stop was the slide. This park has a very

Forklift and Shinkansen ramp

There are certain toys that I play with all the time, like my bus and dump truck. There are other ones that I come around to in my rotation. Today I decided to play with my forklift and had it move a bench around. And then Daddy helped me make a ramp for my Shinkansen

Dinner in Nakagawa

Tonight we had dinner with Jiiji, Baaba, and Obachan in Nakagawa, Mommy’s hometown. We went to a different restaurant that was recommended by Jiiji and Baaba. it was pretty tasty. At dinner I got a surprise present from Obachan. She had been shopping and saw that a toy ambulance was on sale and bought it
