Today we watched last year’s recital to get an idea of what we were supposed to do. It was fun to watch. After that we got into our costumes and practiced our dance. We did really well and had a lot of fun dancing!
After that we had a big lunch!
On our walk we stopped by to check out some guppies in front of a coffee shop. Usually the pots are full of plants so it is hard to see the guppies, but this time there weren’t that many plants blocking the guppies so they were in full view.
I was picked up from school by Mommy about the same time my friend was, so we had a short walk together.
Today’s advent calendar prize was a cute little cement mixer. I like the eyes on it. Very funny.
After bath time we played a bit and had to send some cars through the carwash. I made sure to do a good job removing all the dirt and grime.
Today’s advent calendar was a cute little dump truck. Yay!
On our walk today, our teachers let us choose where to go. So we got to choose “left” or “right” as we walked.
We also practiced our dance for our end of year recital. We are doing pretty good. We also tried on our costumes and we were a little shy for a bit, but then warmed up to it after a while.
We visited the prefectural office today. There were a lot of displays to look at and they were very interesting. But I was more excited about looking at different vehicles from the observation deck.
Daddy brought home some special dessert for me and Mommy. I chose the cream puff. It was delicious!
Today we went to the park and ran along a lot. Since it is December we were feeling in the holiday spirit and sang Christmas songs as we ran.
Update: I liked the mess the confetti made in the house and I didn’t want Daddy to clean it up even though I had agreed to cleaning it up before we started playing.
We decorated the Christmas tree tonight! I did a very good job. I pretty much did the whole tree all by myself. Sure, there were a lot of ornaments clustered in one area because of hieght restrictions, but the tree looked good!
I went for a drive to the park in my Mercedes. Daddy attached the handle to give me a push, but I did all the driving. I am a really good driver. I could drive really straight and then pull to the side of the rode when cars were coming. I could turn up onto the curve with perfect precision. I could even park my car really well.
At the park I played with my contruction vehicles in the sand. There was a good amount of space for me to play in, but I had to avoid the cat poop. Those darn stray cats like to use the park sandbox as their own litter box.
After playing in the park I drove over to 7-Eleven to pick up smoothies for me and Mommy. Then I drove them back home. We really enjoyed our afternoon treat!
Mommy made a new advent calendar for me that was filled with little treats. I helped her fill them and decorate them. Unlike my other advent calendar, this one had snacks for me to eat! I was very excited about making it and opening it!
We went out for yakiniku tonight! We thought we deserved a treat and boy did we enjoy it. Not only was there a lot of great food, but great drinks as well. They had peach juice at the yakiniku restaurant that made my day!
I ate so much meat! Mommy and Daddy literally could not cook it fast enough. Every time they put some on my plate it disappeared. I ate a lot of meat and then finished off dinner with soft serve ice cream with strawberry sauce. Yummy!
After a great dinner we headed home. As usual there was some funny Daddy-walk happening that made me laugh a lot. Daddy was bouncy off the walls like a billiard ball, so I had to copy him.
What a fun-filled day!
I just wanted to note a milestone today: I peed standing up. We were at a restaurant and someone was using the toilet so Daddy asked me if I wanted to try use the urinal and I said yes. Luckily the urinal went all the way to the ground so I stepped up, pulled down my pants, and peed standing up. I have to admit, this is a lot easier that peeing sitting down. I think this may be my new go-to way of peeing.
I rode my Mercedes today and pretended that it was a taxi. I gave my customer (Mommy) a ride to the yakiniku restaurant and then back home. I was very polite and friendly taxi driver.
Daddy had to work today to make up for the day he took off to watch me when I was sick. Mommy had a funeral to go to so I tagged along. We rode the subway so long that it turned in to a regular train and emerged from the underground. I was very well behaved at the funeral and did everything that Mommy told me to do. Then we had lunch with Mommy’s coworkers and their family. I was very well behaved at lunch too!
I got up, ate breakfast, and got ready for school so quickly that I had some extra time to watch TV with my mimicking hedgehog pal.
At school we had a very active time on the obstacle course our teachers made out of gym mats and hula hoops. I had tons of fun going through the tunnel.
The last weekday of the month is very busy for Daddy and he always comes home very late, so Mommy and I went out for dinner just the two of us. We went to one of my favorite restaurants to get an ajifry set meal. As usual I enjoyed it thoroughly and ate the whole thing up.
When we got home I opened up my advent calendar and got a cute little car. I was so happy to get it, even though I mentioned that I wanted another barrel like yesterday.
