I’ve been saying a lot more words recently. Some words I’ve known for a while, other ones I’m learning and saying for the first time. Today at dinner I was eating natto and then started saying natto without any coaching or prompting. It just came out. From then on when Mommy asked me to repeatContinue reading ““Natto” and “UnderArmour””

On our walk we stopped by the prefectural office. There we had a water break, which I wasn’t too interested in. And we checked out a food display outside a restaurant, which I was very into! Naturally, I pretend ate the food.

I surprisingly got ready for school early and have a little relaxing time with Daddy to watch TV. He got ready for work early too. Maybe it is because I woke up early today and got everyone else up an hour earlier than usual. Yes, that must be it. If it means there is lessContinue reading “Ready to go”

I finished my dinner and am just playing on my own a bit while I wait for Daddy to get home. I hope he likes the caravan that I mad.

I like taking care of my younger classmates. They are so cute and cuddly that sometimes I just have to go over to them and give them a gentle pat. Some mornings at school I do my rounds the first thing I get there and visit all the babies. I pet them or hug themContinue reading “Caring for young classmates”

We went to visit Jiiji for Father’s Day! He was very happy to see me two weekends in a row. First we went out to lunch and Jiiji seemed to really enjoy the sushi we were having! I enjoyed it too! I ate quite a bit and we had a great time at the restaurant.Continue reading “Visiting Jiiji on Father’s Day”

Just chilling and relaxing while watching TV. But it is so much better to watch TV with company. Come chill with me, Daddy.

Mommy and Daddy were trying to get me changed when I ran off wearing my tanktop undershirt. Daddy started complimenting my muscles and asked me to pose by saying, “muscle, muscle”. I obliged with some macho man poses.

Usually when I wake up I want to eat right away, so I get fed before Mommy and Daddy eat. Not only do I get food, but I get entertainment as well. Daddy was singing songs to me this morning. I was happy and I knew it so I said (gestured) “Yipee!” After I finishedContinue reading “Singing, cooking, playing in bed”

We sure have to go grocery shopping a lot. I wonder where all the food goes. Oh, wait. Yeah, that’s right. It goes in my tummy.

I woke up from my nap to find Daddy playing video games. So that’s what he does when I’m asleep. I had fun watching him play for a while, but then I got hungry for my snack. I had some cheese. Even though Daddy likes playing video games it seems like he likes hanging outContinue reading “Daddy plays games while I nap”

It is looking to be a very warm and sunny day so Daddy and I are setting up the pool for me to play in. I had a lot of fun helping set it up and checking the water. Maybe too much fun. Needless to say I ended up soaked and needed to change allContinue reading “Setting up the pool”

Our little garden had been neglected for a while, but Daddy has been putting more effort into upkeep and now it is flourishing. I like to help with the gardening on the weekends. I’m very good at pruning. Too good at pruning actually. I like ripping things off the plants, which Daddy does not seemContinue reading “Gardening with Daddy”

On our way to the park today there were a lot of cars to look at. It may have been too distracting and a bit unsafe while walking, but we love watching cars go by. When we got to the park we went searching for grasshoppers, which is one of our go to activities recently.Continue reading “Heading to the park”

We are playing bedtime with cars. We put them to sleep and then we wake them up. I want to make sure they are well-rested before our next time to play together.
