We had our rhythmic dancing today! I really enjoy the music and dancing around the room. I’m pretty good at it too! We also hung our Tanabata wishes today.

Even though it is just Mommy and me, dinner is a very happy time! We can’t wait for Daddy to come home, but we still enjoy dinner together!

When out for our walk we spotted some cicada cast-off shells. There were quite a bit of them. We are all really interested bugs and their shells so we all had fun finding them and holding them. Bugs are one of the fun things about summer. But since summer is really hot, we had to

Today was Daddy’s first day of his workshop in Tokyo. He got promoted to a managerial position in his company and was made a full-time employee. Apparently there was a lot of things for him to learn. After his workshop he called to see how we were doing. I was very happy to see him

Another rainy day at school. I know it is rainy season, but it is already July. Why is it still raining? Well, I guess it is okay because we always have a lot of fun indoors. We read books, play with blocks, and get our exercise with the mats!

Daddy has to leave on a business trip tonight and he’ll be gone for three days. I promised him that I’d be a good boy and take care of Mommy while he’s gone. I made sure to get in some last minute playtime before he had to leave to catch his plane.

We went for a picnic in the park today. It was quite hot on the walk over, but once we sat down in the shade it was quite comfortable. And we had a lot of picnicky foods to eat so I wasn’t thinking about the weather at all. I ate quite a bit and then

Watching my bus show with Mommy! Surprisingly she actually likes it too! It has a good story and it is quite entertaining.

This morning I didn’t want to eat breakfast in my highchair so I borrowed Daddy’s chair and ate there. It looks like I’m big enough for a big boy chair. Then after breakfast I went right to playing with my cars while I waited for my second breakfast, a.k.a. Daddy’s breakfast. I see much food

I had a dinner date with Mommy tonight. I wanted to hold her hand while I ate dinner. Daddy was there to, but he was not part of the date. He was just there to take pictures.

It has become a bit of a weekend routine where I wake up and eat breakfast and then when Mommy and Daddy sit down to eat their’s I steal half of Daddy’s food. It becomes my second breakfast. Daddy sometimes tries to outsmart me and makes more than usual for himself, but that just means

Mommy and Daddy got a new coffee maker. Wow! So shiny! Oooooooh!

We still have some jelly that Ojisan brought for me, so that was my dessert today. It was delicious!

Today we practiced putting on socks. Our teachers gave us scrunchies so that we could get used to pulling thing up over our feet to our ankles. As you can see I did pretty good. But I was not happy having scrunchies on my ankles so I took them off. And then practiced putting them

I mentioned how I like to go to sleep touching my piko. Well, one of the drawback about that is that I often end up sleeping with my belly completely exposed! Luckily it is summer and not cold at all, but it kind of defeats the purpose of wearing a shirt.
