After playing outside in the pool we decided to play indoors. We were being really silly. I was making funny faces and we were both pretending to be Anpanman. We even fought Baikinman, (Anpanman’s mischievous rival.)

My friend came over for a pool date today. The weather was nice and it wasn’t too hot like it was during the middle of summer. We get along really well, but still mostly parallel play. The nice thing is that we enjoy each other’s company. We have grown up so much that there is

Just sitting seiza and taking some time to calm my mind.

I’m getting good at taking my pants off on my own. This may cause problems for Mommy and Daddy in public if I ever think my pants are too hot.

I’m really good at using chopsticks now. I can pick up almost anything now. I have very fine control of my chopsticks too. This morning I wanted raisin bread just for the raisins so I used my chopsticks to perform open bread surgery.

So this is what heaven looks like. Just by accident when we were out shopping we stumbled upon a store that was all about trains! There were of course toy trains, but also trains on everything else. Trains on shirts, backpacks, lunch boxes, hats, stationery, toiletries…pretty much trains on anything you could imagine. We picked

I was very excited to be able to ride the bus again today! But I was being silly when Daddy asked what we were going to do and what I was going to ride. I answered, “Wanwan” or “doggy”.

For some reason I decided to hang out at have fun in my high chair. I was just feeling silly. It is fun to pretend to be a little baby again, but also interact from a higher level. I found out that it is a convenient way to play with cars too. I my toy

Yep, I’m still stealing people’s glasses (from tables or off their faces) and putting them on. I’ve been thoroughly warned that it will ruin my eyesight but I don’t really listen. I might pay for it in the long run.

There is a cute little calendar with my pictures on it. Recently I love going through all the pages and looking at pictures of me when I was little. I’m amazed at how much I have grown.

On our walk today we visited the subway station. I was very excited about this. We didn’t actually get to ride a subway or anything, but we did get to go down the stairs and walk around a bit. This made me very happy!

What a happy day at school! Today we visited the vehicle exhibit during our walk. You can imagine how excited and happy I was. It was as if the exhibit was just for me. It had so many vehicles on display and I really took my time examining each display. Awesome!

The older I get the more I want to do. I’ve seen Mommy and Daddy brushing their teeth and I noticed that they wash their toothbrushes after. So I had to do it too. I did a pretty good job. I even put my toothbrush into the toothbrush holder when I was done.

I got ready for school pretty early so we more time than usual to play so I requested a horsey-back ride. What a great way to start the morning! (After a while I had to let me horsey go so that he could get ready for work.)

I was lucky enough to get some jelly for dessert today. Having jelly is rare for me so I was very excited but a bit bossy about eating it. I was just a little too excited.

On our way home form school I was talking to Mommy about who is going to go down down down (go on the subway) this weekend. I was fine talking about it until I noticed that I was being videoed so then I wanted to see what I said. After reviewing the video I recalled

Yet another pool day where I refuse to wear my swimming cap. So I wasn’t allowed into the pool, but I was okay with just playing with the water from the outside. After all we have our wading pool at home that I play in all the time. Maybe that’s why pool day is not

This wrist watch is way to big for my wrist. Hmmm, I guess it might not be mine. I can’t wait until I can get my own. It is so cool and has so many functions. One of these days.
