When we went out for dinner, I of course ate up all of my kids’ meal. But I also ate a lot of soup and salad from the soup and salad bar. I had three cups of soup. There was corn soup, which I like a lot, but there was also cold potage which wasContinue reading “Kids’ meal with salad/soup bar”

We don’t ride the bus very often. First of all, we have a car and drive to most places we have to go to. And if we have to go to the center of the city we take the subway. We just don’t need to ride the bus. But I’ve been saying to Mommy andContinue reading “Riding the bus”

I don’t normally get to drink juice. If I do, it is usually as a treat on the weekend. We were our shopping and Daddy got Mommy some Starbucks as a treat and I got some juice as a treat. I really enjoyed it. So much so that I hadn’t realized that Daddy was beingContinue reading “Juice break”

I helped with the shopping again today. If you’re wondering why I’m putting so much ramen into our shopping basket, don’t worry it is intentional and under the instruction of Mommy and Daddy. I have to make a ramen delivery to some very special people tomorrow.

As you know, I just can’t get enough of vehicles, especially buses. My favorite toy is still my toy bus. So of course I’m going to want to ride a bus whenever I can. This whole week I’ve been telling Mommy and Daddy that I want to ride the bus. But I never thought thatContinue reading “Bus driving simulator”

I’m not that into dancing at school. I often choose to sit the dancing out. I’m curious about learning things but am not always all smiles. I usually have a look of concentration or deep thought. I’m the type of kid that when you ask me what my favorite subject at school I’ll probably sayContinue reading “School interests”

Sometimes I give Mommy a hard time and refuse to head home when she picks me up from school. Other times I’m very willing to head home and even carry my own bag.

I may not be the most friendly kids at school, but I do have friends. In fact, I have fans. Some of my friends are very interested in me and like to follow me. They often join me in bus watching at the park or bug searching in the grass. Sometimes they give their parentsContinue reading “Getting along”

Most kids my age are happy to dance whenever there is music on, but I’m not most kids. No, I’m the kid that very conspicuously lies on the floor when the teachers try to lead everyone in dance. The funny thing is that I actually dance a lot at home when playing with Daddy andContinue reading “Not a dancing monkey”

I had a very healthy dinner tonight. Raw tomatoes, corn on the cob, salmon, and rice. I ate everything up! I like eating fish, but more often than not I prefer beef, chicken and pork. Of course after I ate up all my dinner I wanted some fruits for dessert.

It was another hot day today, so instead of going outside we spent time indoors. We did some doodling and coloring. I’m not a big art person, but I enjoyed myself. Most of the time I would just tell me teacher what to draw and when she did I got really excited.

On our walk at school we stopped by the prefectural office to see the train display. I was so thrilled to see it. It was as if they set it up just for me.

I needed a haircut before our trip so Daddy got the clippers and scissors and gave me a quick haircut. I’m getting more used to them and don’t struggle as much. I actually enjoy it because I get to watch YouTube and eat sweets, which is a real treat for me.

We paid Jiiji and Baaba a visit so that they could see me before our trip to Kauai. Also so I could offer tech advice to them. I like to help them figure out how to use their phones. They were happy to spend time with me and we enjoyed a very nice lunch together,Continue reading “Visiting Jiiji and Baaba’s house”

I made myself my own little bus for one. It was a pretty good fit and a lot of fun. Mommy and Daddy were both amused and upset that I unceremoniously removed folded laundry from the basket to make my little Mason bus.

I still like wearing glasses! Mommy and Daddy have to exchange the prescription ones for these blue-light ones so that I don’t ruin my eyesight.

Mommy and I borrow a lot of books from my nursery school. But of course my tastes are quite particular so we often get books about vehicles or food. Yesterday we borrowed a book about trains. It is the second time I chose this book to borrow. And since it is the weekend I’ll getContinue reading “Train book”
