We bought some watermelon for dessert, but because it can be very messy and it was a very warm evening we decided to eat it outside.

First thing in the morning all I wanted to do was read my new books.

We were escaping the heat a bit by stopping by a store that happened to sell some books. They had some books that were very interesting to me so we bought them. You can never have too many books, especially when they are educational books.

We ate somen for lunch and it was oh so good! But a bit messy.

After a morning outside in the pool, it is nice to take it easy in the air-conditioned room and just chill with the iPad.

Just making sure that my airplanes are flight worthy.

I had fun playing with my music player, making it “stop” and “go” at will while it sang the theme from Mission Impossible.

Second breakfast, the second most important meal of the day.

I’m really getting use to this nitoryu spoon and chopsticks style of eating. I can continuously bring food to my mouth. Great!

I know there are a lot of non-Japanese people out there who think natto is gross, but us Japanese kids love it! Never mind that it is slimy and smelly. It is delicious!

Right when we got home today I wanted to play with the cool planes that Nana and Papa got for me. I knew I couldn’t fly them around so I turned on the lights and watched them flash.

Wandering thought, or cool posing.

I like our weekly English lessons. I’m very well behaved and listen intently.

Mommy picks me up from school and after a pleasant walk home I play while she gets dinner ready. I’m very good at playing with my cars by myself. I sometimes call out to her or come to show her something, but for the most part I’m just on the floor rolling my cars around.

Today we did some art and crafts at school today and we used sponges. They were like soft stamps. I had painted with sponges before but not to stamp. I think I did pretty good!

Am I in deep thought or trying mind control. You’ll never know…unless I choose to let you.
