Breakfast chair

It is good to have routines but sometimes they have to change. Since we’ve been back from Hawaii I have been insisting on eating breakfast on Daddy’s lap instead of in my high chair. This can be a bit inconvenient for Daddy when he is trying to get ready for work or get me ready […]

Look, a cat

I spotted cat on our way home and was very interested in it. Even after it left I didn’t want to leave. I wanted to go after it, but it had gone between the fence so we couldn’t reach it.

Elevator buttons

I’m very good at pushing elevator buttons. I’ve insisted on being the one to push the buttons for months now, both going to school and heading home.

Power breakfast for busy day at school

I had my usual fruits and yogurt for breakfast but I also had some crab bread. I somehow knew I would need the energy for school. We did a lot of dancing at school today. Sometimes I sit it out and other times I am really into it. Today I was somewhere in between. I

Visiting Jiiji and Baaba

We visited Jiiji and Baaba for the first time since we got back from Hawaii. It was nice to see them again. As soon as we got to their house I was wandering around, interacting with them, and showing them how much a grew up in Hawaii. Mommy and Daddy shared with them all the

Steak Miya & Potty

We went out to dinner tonight because I again requested to go holoholo bus again and the Steak Miya restaurant was having good deal on beer, so it was a win-win for everyone. Even though the restaurant name is Steak Miya we mainly go for the salad bar. It is really good and fully stocked

Holoholo bus to dinner

I’ve been talking about holoholo bus all week so Mommy and Daddy made sure that I got my wish. We hopped in the bus to go out to dinner tonight. I like going out to eat, but when we go there by bus it is twice as fun.

Noodles

I like noodles. I love Mommy.

Begging to be carried

Now that I’m big enough to walk and do things on my own, I don’t want to walk or do things on my own. I want to be carried all the time. Today after dinner I was begging Mommy to carry me.

Hot and humid

Oh man. It is still pretty hot and humid here in Japan. Hawaii was a lot more comfortable. Our short walks to the park are quite draining. I think I need a water break.

“Pants” bowing

I’m pretty good now about saying itadakimasu at the beginning of meals and gochisousama at the end of meals. But sometimes I am just silly. Instead of saying itadakimasu this morning I was saying a very some “pants” with a respectful bow. I’m such a silly boy.

Watching Minions sing “Banana”

We were talking about how much I’ve grown in the past year and how different I was this trip to Hawaii compared to last summer. Mommy and Daddy were telling me how my cousins Maimai and Tata entertained me by singing the “Banana” song. I didn’t quite remember it so they showed me the video

Car omelette

Mommy does so much to make me happy. Today she made me a car omelette for dinner. Not only was it really cool, but it also had a lot of ketchup that I love! You would think that I may be hesitant to destroy and eat this masterpiece but I just dug in and gobbled

Today when we went to the park I showed my teachers all the cool plants (weeds) that I found. They were very excited to receive them so I kept getting more to give them. I also hung out with my boys. We just like loitering at the park.

Doing stretches with Mimizaur

Mimizaur is the character in my brushing teeth app. He does funny things and I love watching him while I brush my teeth. After I finished brushing my teeth tonight I did some stretches with him.

Water play and pictorial books

Today the first thing I did when I got to school was tell my teacher that I wanted to read zukan, which are pictorial books. They are pretty much like picture dictionaries with a bunch of explanations about different things. Naturally the books I choose are all about vehicles. Today we had water play. It
