Mommy and Daddy had separate things to do in the city so we all met up for lunch. It took a while to find someplace with a good kids’ menu and where the wait wasn’t too long. We had to walk a bit and I actually fell asleep. But it was worth it. Lunch was really good! It was quite large for a kids’ meal. I really don’t think they had a 18-month-old in mind when they decided how big to make these meals. But I surprisingly can nearly finish these meals that were probably aimed at elementary school students.

I really liked the corn potage soup. It was delicious! Daddy had a hard time keeping up with the spoon so in the end he poured the soup into a cup and let me drink it. Good decision, Daddy. The spaghetti was really good too. A bit messy, but yummy!

I’m still not a fan of french fries, but Mommy and Daddy helped me take care of those.

I love watching my kids shows, but sometimes I’d rather watch train after train on YouTube. It is kind of my thing now. Surprisingly, I don’t get tired of it.

I ate very well at dinner and cleared my plate so I earned some dessert. I had some pudding, which in Japan is more like flan. It was very tasty and I could not get enough of it!

Yeah, I know it looks like I’m scowling, but I’m not angry or anything. It is just that the sun is in my eyes. Really, I’m not angry at all. Well, maybe I’m a bit peeved that the sun is in my eyes.

I finished my breakfast but I was still a little hungry so I asked Daddy for some more food. He got me some Cheerios so I sat on my chair and pulled the table up, ready to eat. It was just what I needed to face the day!

After such a big breakfast I decided to start the day off with my sticker book. I’ve been playing with this thing everyday!

Just enjoying a little pre-snack entertainment performed by Daddy who is pretending that he is riding a horse.

Even though there is so much to do at the park, I still love just watching buses and cars drive by. And let’s not forget the occasional airplane flying overhead.

Sometimes there is just not enough hours in the day. I have to try and get some work done before I have to head off to school. Busy busy busy.

I’ve been better at staying seated at school. But it takes a lot of effort. I don’t really like staying still, but I know that I’m supposed to behave myself. So I try and I do pretty good. But as you can see, I get pretty antsy.

I’ve been sick for so long and taking medicine for so long that I learned the sign language for “medicine”. Mommy and Daddy were very impressed because so far most of my signs have been using my whole hand with large movements, but for “medicine” I am able to use my finger in the right way. That’s not easy for such a young toddler.

I woke up with a smile and in a pretty good mood today! It was surprising because I had woken up crying several times during the night. As it turns out I had a huge poop during the night and it actually leaked out of my diaper. Oopsie. And still, I woke up with a smile! Mommy and Daddy also had to smile when they saw how good of a mood I was in, despite the poopy clean up they had ahead of them.

I was happy to be back at school today. No fever, no runny nose, and only a slight cough. So I was all good to go to school and I had a great time! But after I woke up from my nap I was not in a great mood. I didn’t have a fever or anything, but since I was in such a bad mood the school called Mommy and she came to pick me up a little early. I guess it was all for the best. If I’m going to be at school I’d rather be in a good mood.

The Christmas Market is being held again this year. We went to go see it and I was very impressed by the very big Christmas tree. I remember having a Christmas tree at home last year, but it wasn’t as big as this one. I’m going to have to talk to Daddy about that.

There is a huge screen on the side of the train station that hooked up to a camera so you can see yourself as if you were a few stories tall! It was pretty cool!

Now that Christmas is drawing near, there is so much Christmas decorations around, not to mention Christmas illumination too! It is so bright and pretty!

Don’t let the title fool you. I’m not using the fork as a drumstick. But I am using it to tap on the table. I just have to do so in a different way. But you’re going to see, that even with the way I do it, the rhythm is pretty good.
