Playing around

After we had full bellies we started playing around. I can’t exactly say what we were doing. We were just being silly and playing! We laughed a lot! At one point we “hid” near Daddy’s desk and then ran to our respective mommies. We did this so many times. Each time was as fun, if […]

Nagashi somen

When my friend came over today we had a nagashi somen party! Nagashi somen is a common summer food in Japan. Often you eat it at a bbq or at a camp. What you do is you get a long hollowed out bamboo and make into a trough. Then you send some water down it

Passing the time

My friend is coming over to play today. I’m just passing the time until she gets here by reading a book.

Cooking breakfast with Daddy

I helped Daddy cook breakfast again. Today we had hashbrowns and eggs! I did most of the mixing!

Tokyo Banana time

I ate up all my dinner. You know what that means. It is Tokyo Banana time!

Relaxing TV time

I’m just taking break and watching some TV with Mommy while Daddy makes dinner. It’s nice to have some quiet time sometimes.

Driving a bus

While shopping we found a bus driving simulator. You know how much I love buses so I just had to give it go. I took the wheel and did a really good job. I got all my passengers to their destinations safely!

Meeting a lion while shopping

Mommy and I ran into a lion while shopping today. We were coming back from the restroom and we got to take a picture of a lion who was the mascot for Lion Corporation (they make soaps and cleaners and hygiene products and other stuff). I was not that thrilled. I prefer Johnson & Johnson

Playing with Daddy after school/work

Even when Daddy comes home late he spends every second he can with me. I know he must be tired, but when I comes home I get so excited and we get right to playing.

More Tokyo Banana

After dinner, I had to get me some more of that delicious Tokyo Banana! Look how excited I am! You can see how delicious it is. Yum!

Beads and hoops

Indoor play with beads and hoops! It doesn’t sound like much but it was a lot of fun!

Tanabata

Today is Tanabata so we learned about the legend behind it. We all listened very intently. It is a very interesting story and I encourage you to look it up and learn about it. Then we took pictures in front of the Milky Way and our bamboo tree with all of our tanabata wishes.

Up up up in the garage / no video

As soon as I finished getting ready for school I got right to playing my cars. I enjoy playing with my toys and Daddy, and I don’t need every moment of my life recorded. Jeez, Daddy, put the phone away and live in the moment.

Tokyo Banana

Daddy bought Tokyo Banana as an omiyage from his business trip to Tokyo. Tokyo Banana is a very famous banana flavored cream filled cake that people buy when on trips in Tokyo. It was my first time eating it and I loved it! I already love eating bananas, but this was so much better! Yum!

Cicada husks

On our walk home from school, Mommy and I always find interesting things to look at. I found a bunch of cicada husks. I resisted taking them home.

English lesson and chilling

We had our English lesson today, which I just love! I like the stories, songs, and pictures. We are all really into it. But after the lesson my buddy and I just wanted to hang, chill, and just relax. We cool, we cool.

Daddy’s home (with gifts)

Daddy’s home! And he brought a souvenir for me! I’m so very happy to see Daddy and I missed him so much! But I’m very excited about my souvenir. It is a set of JAL airport vehicles. It has an airplane (which I have already) a stair truck, and a bus! I love the gift,

One meal until Daddy’s home

I heard that Daddy is coming home tonight. I’ll be asleep when he arrives but that means he’ll be here when I wake up tomorrow. So just one more meal until Daddy’s home.
