Daddy had to leave for a business trip to Tokyo today. It is only going to be for a couple of days, but I’m really going to miss him. I was really good and didn’t cry or anything. I sent Daddy off with smiles and happy thoughts! In like the first hour he was goneContinue reading “Daddy leaving for a business trip”

On our way to school today it started to snow. I was able to catch a few snowflakes in my hands. They were so pretty and delicate.

It was a very cold day to day. It had snowed a bit overnight, but there wasn’t that much snow left for us to play with. Still, we had a lot of fun running around. But it got cold so we sought warmth and headed into to the prefectural office to warm up and checkContinue reading “Cold park day”

Yesterday was Setsubun so our teachers explained about the day and the tradion. Basically, it is the change of the seasons and a chance to expel all the bad luck and misfortune represented by oni, or ogres, and welcome in the good luck and good fortune. We expel the oni by throwing beans at them.Continue reading “Setsubun”

It was getting late in the evening, but it was still light enough for a quick visit to the park. We played with the ball for a bit. First we played catch and then we played my version of soccer where only I am allowed to use my hands. Then I played on the slide.Continue reading “Evening park”

After Jiiji, Baaba, and Obachan went home I wanted to play outside. So I hopped on my Mercedes and drove a few circuits. Then I practiced driving in the real car. Somehow we got on the subject of flat tires, so Daddy thought he should show me how to change a tire. We didn’t actuallyContinue reading “Mercedes and car maintenance”

Today we had a birthday party for Daddy, whose birthday passed, and Baaba, whose birthday was coming up. I was in a very good mood because I woke up and got to watch a lot of TV since it was a no-school day. And to ensure my good mood, Daddy made me a parfait forContinue reading “Birthday party”

Rainy days. Stuck inside. Not much to do. Even though it was raining today, I made sure to practice driving. I try not to miss a chance to practice driving on the weekend. It was even more fun than usual today because I got to use the wipers. When playing with my cooking set IContinue reading “Practice driving, dump truck, and yakiniku”

My double-decker bus ride to school. Visiting our duck friends at the park. Practicing for our natural disaster drill. Looking at and smelling flower petals. Rhythmic dance. Playing karuta with classmates. We played with vehicle, animal, and country flag cards. Once I got the hang of it, I wanted to play again and again! GettingContinue reading “School week”

People keep telling me how much I’ve grown so I decided to see for myself how much I’ve grown. So I got a measuring tape and tried to measure my height. It was a bit hard so I had Daddy help me.

I was very excited about a playdate with my friend today! I needed a lot of energy so Daddy made me a special parfait for breakfast! When my friend came over I decided to play a little hard to get and hid under the blanket. We made some origami animals and it was a lotContinue reading “Playdate”

I wasted no time and got right to practice driving. It is one of my favorite weekend activities. I would like to do it more often and longer, but apparently Daddy doesn’t want to waste gas so my time is limited. We went to the park today. It was cold, but it is nice toContinue reading “Driving, park, boys’ night out”

The weather on Monday was really nice so we went for a walk to the park and took a group photo with all the classes in our school. We also saw a bunch of animals at the park like ducks and cats. On Tuesday at the park I found a bunch of acorns and didContinue reading “School week”

I had another bout of selfishness. I had a pleasant walk home from school with Mommy and was well behaved until dinner. Mommy put in extra effort to make me happy and made a car shaped omelet for me I was very happy. I liked it so much that I didn’t want to eat it.Continue reading “More tantrums”

Mommy had to work today so I spent the morning with Daddy. We played with cars (small ones), rode my Mercedes, and practiced driving (in the big car). We also chatted with Nana and Papa while practicing driving. Daddy suggested that we go meet up with Mommy in the city and have lunch together andContinue reading “Tantrums”

My mood swings have been very extreme lately. It all rotates around me getting or not getting what I want. I can be super happy one moment and then be a crying, screaming, hitting, kicking, throwing terror. And that happens when I don’t get what I want or what I think I should get.

I wanted to go for a walk. So I told Daddy let’s go for a walk. I wanted to walk only with Daddy so I didn’t invite Mommy. I let her stay home and rest. When Daddy asked me where we were going to walk to (thinking it would be a nearby park or convenienceContinue reading “Long walk with Daddy”

I love driving practice. I turn on the car, operate all the buttons and switches, and even use the GPS navigation system. I put in my destination then pretend to follow the route displayed on the screen, turning right and left at the right places. Then when we reach our destination, I get out ofContinue reading “Driving practice”
