I think everyone was a bit surprised that I hadn’t tried to raid the fridge before. Well, now I know where the food is and how to get to it. What am I going to do with this knowledge?

Dinner is done but I’m still at the dining table. I’m only partly hoping for more food. It is mainly just to play with my trains with Mommy.

We had some time before dinner so I took it easy and played on some chairs. First I literally played on one and then I put my cards on one and played there.

Bath time is so much more fun with my bath cars! I don’t really remember being washed, but when we are done I’m all clean. That works for me. Even after all that car play in the bath, I still can’t get enough of them. I am pretty much playing with, reading about, or thinkingContinue reading “Bath time car fun”

After such an exciting day I couldn’t settle down, so Mommy and Daddy took me to the shopping center to walk around and burn some energy. It worked because I got too tired to walk and wanted to be carried. And when Daddy carried me I stole his glasses again. That’s just what I doContinue reading “Walking around the shopping center”

Daddy’s high school friends (the NerdHerd) and their families stopped by today. They try to get together whenever Daddy is back on the island. I had fun when they came over last summer and when I met everyone for the first time. But I wasn’t very social then. I just kind of did my ownContinue reading “The NerdHerd”

When I woke up this morning I wasted no time and started to play with Lauren right away. I didn’t even bother changing my clothes or eating breakfast. I wanted to play first. Even after I was fed and got ready I still wanted to play with her so I kind of always found awayContinue reading “Good morning Lauren”

I stole Daddy’s glasses again. I don’t need them to see, and they actually may be making my eyesight worse. It is a fashion statement for me. I know they are Daddy’s but I look so much better in them!

We were running some errands and one stop was pretty short so I just waited in the car. I was being a very good boy but I started to get bored. Luckily Daddy got back to the truck just in time and started to entertain me from the truck bed.

I did some card matching again today. I often start off very strong and then slowly lose interest and wander off to do something else. That’s what happened today. I moved on to grabbing jackets and such and dragging them around the house. I wasn’t putting them away or anything. This was not tidying up.Continue reading “Matching cards and moving on”

I surprised everyone when I didn’t want to eat poi the first few days of this visit. I ate so much during my summer visit that they thought I would be thrilled to have the chance to eat it again. But I kept refusing it. But then I remember what it was and once IContinue reading “More poi please”

I’m a pretty good climber and people don’t realize that I don’t fall very often and when I do, I fall in a safe way. But I don’t blame them for being nervous when I climb things like the back of Grandpa’s chair. I may not fall, but I didn’t really think it through becauseContinue reading “Climbing equals making people nervous”

Even from my first visit to Hawaii, I enjoyed sitting with everyone at the big dining table and joining in the mealtime conversation. I’ve been sitting at the dining table a lot more this trip. Pretty much for every meal. I love it when I can communicate with my cousins there. They talk to me,Continue reading “Dining table communication”

Grandma and Grandpa’s house has a huge backyard and it is so easy just to step out and enjoy the outdoors. Back in Japan we actually have walk a bit to get to parks in order to run around or just bask in the sun. Now all that fun is just outside the door. IContinue reading “In the pool fully clothed”

I’ve heard the phrase “airing out dirty laundry”, but why would anyone want to do that? Wouldn’t that make the air dirty? I much prefer airing out clean laundry. It is much more sanitary and it smells fresh!

One of the benefits of having so much family in the house is that I can ask a lot of people to read to me or to entertain me. All I have to do is walk up to them with a book and they’ll offer to read to me. All I have to do isContinue reading “Putting family to work”

I just can’t get enough of the helicopters. At my request, Grandpa took me to the heliport again. Now that I know it is there, I know what to ask for.

I started to climb the step stool today and found that I can do it pretty easily. I get the feeling that not everyone is happy that I can do this. I sense a lot of nervousness.
