Mat mountains

It was another hot (37°C or 98.6°F) and humid day so we played inside instead of going for our daily walk. But even indoors we get a lot of exercise and have a lot of fun. Today our teachers made mountains out of gym mats and we had fun climbing them!

Baboo on the couch

For some reason I felt like marching on the couch while saying “baboo” which is the sound a baby makes in Japan, something like “goo goo gaa gaa”. Why? I can’t say. But I can say that I had fun!

Sweaty dinner

No, I did not take a shower yet. That is just sweat. It was a hot day and I got all sweaty on our walk home from school. And then I played around a bit. And I eat with such gusto that I end up in a sweat. So even though I haven’t taken a

Stroller walk

It has been so hot this summer that there are many days when we don’t go for our walk. It is just too hot even in the morning. Some days we all ride in strollers and buggies to go outside but don’t walk in order to not get heatstroke or anything. These strollers are really

Zaq cup

Have you ever noticed that things sometimes taste better in a different cup? If you haven’t, you should try it. I was thirsty this morning and my other cups were either being washed or had something else in it, so I got some water in a Zaq cup. Boy did that water taste good! Maybe

Travel sticker book

Mommy and Daddy are starting to get ready for our trip to Kauai and in the process they are packing my airplane bag with toys and activities for me. Once I saw the sticker book go into the carry-on bag I just had to play with it.

Peach

I like all fruits, and grapes have been my recent favorite. But they might be unseated as champion by the case of peaches that we got at the buffet last weekend. I’m really loving these peaches!

Pool day at school

We had pool day at school today! It is supposed to be a lot of fun, but not so much for a stubborn boy like me. We are supposed to wear swimming caps to play in the pool and I refused to wear mine. Even though my teachers patiently and gently explained that I wouldn’t

Rice noodles

It was another scorching day where it was too hot to go outside. So we played inside today. We played with rice noodles today. I know we are not supposed to play with food, but today it was okay because we were exploring and experiencing the texture of the rice noodles. They were very soft

Low piggy back

I like piggy back rides, but I’m still a bit small for them. My legs aren’t long enough for Daddy to hold me by them in the front and I’m not quite tall enough to get my arms up around his neck. So I’m always riding kind of low, which can limit my view and

Baby books

I like all books. Even my first baby books. Sure, I’m really into story books and pictorial books with a lot of cars and trains, but every so often I return to my baby books and flip through them.

Capsule sponges

Fascinating. No matter how many times I see the capsule sponges expand, it never gets old.

Peaches, oh so good

I had one of the peaches that we won at bingo last night and it was oh so good! Even after eating dinner and a peach for dessert I went in search of more peaches.

Summer festival

There was a summer festival near our house so I got changed into my jimbei again and we went to check it out. It was more like a traditional festival with a lot of food and game stalls. There was so much to see. It was right before dinner so we didn’t wan’t to eat

Buffet

We decided to go to a nearby buffet tonight and boy was it fun! I ate so much food! There was a steak station, which was Daddy’s favorite. I had a lot of steak too, but my favorite thing was the fruits! I must have had like 20 mini tomatoes and more grapes than I

Pool with foam

Of course I went into the pool today. It is so hot, going in the pool is the best way to beat the heat (without using electricity). I had fun in the pool as I always did, but I also had an added bonus. Daddy bought me some foam to play with. You can play

Exercise and iPad

Usually at home I am very active. I’m always running around the house and playing with all kinds of toys. But sometimes I can be pretty lazy and just want to veg out with the iPad.
