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 own

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 away

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.

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 I

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 because

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,

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. I

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 is

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.

I got to see a huge choo-choo train today. I was taking a nap and Mommy and Daddy took the opportunity to go out for a bit. Grandma and Grandpa were babysitting and took care of me when I woke up. I was in a pretty good mood and well behaved. As a treat they

We went for a short walk to the store and I got so excited when we entered the parking lot because there were so many cars. I still got excited when leaving the store and seeing the parking lot of cars for the second time. What can I say? I just really like cars.

I’m very good at climbing up on things so I tried to show off to everybody by climbing up onto one of the dining room chairs. Instead of impressing them I just made everyone nervous.

I’m constantly checking in on my cousins. I’ll be having a lot of fun playing or exploring and then all of a sudden I’ll go and check in on them and see what they are doing. Usually I barge into their room and interrupt whatever they were up to. They are so sweet and pretty
