10th day of nursery school

Even though we had a great weekend and I spent all my time with Mommy and Daddy, I had an idea that this day was coming. It is Monday, so I went to nursery school again. I have kind of come to terms with it and don’t really fight it anymore. I may not be enthusiastic about school just yet, but I accept it. Today I started to whimper when we got to school and offered some weak cries when I was handed off to my teacher, but I didn’t cling onto Daddy like before and I didn’t cry to tears. I just expressed as best I could without words that I preferred to stay at home with Daddy. But off I went to school.

I’ve come to look forward to our daily walks. I like the outdoors and the park is tons of fun. Also, the buggy rides with my friends are a lot of fun too! I was really into one of my friends shirts that had Anpanman on it. I kept touching it a lot during the buggy ride. But also I was pointing at all the things I saw too.

Another day of no tears at nursery school. I got along with everyone and was well behaved. I ate up everything and even had seconds. I even gave myself the bottle of formula, holding it all by myself. Nursery school is no longer a traumatic experience for me. Now it is full of fun and adventures!

When Obachan came to pick me up from nursery school at 17:00 I didn’t cry. In fact I smiled at her and leaned over into her arms. I’m getting closer to spending the whole day at school. It is nearly as long as a work day. Wow!

Morning playtime before school

Daddy doesn’t drop me off at school until 9. Partly because it is the starting time for new students until they get used to school life, and partly because it give Daddy and I some time to play together. But as I grow, I play on my own a lot more and Daddy just watches me…and marvels at how quickly I’m growing up.

New teeth coming in

I’ve got some new teeth coming in. They have been bothering me for a while and have been very itchy! These will be my first top teeth. The two center teeth are coming in slowly, but surprisingly the one next to the center left is coming in faster. That’s unusual. I thought my teeth were supposed to fill in from the center outward. Oh well, I don’t really care which order they come in, I just want them to get here so that my gums stop itching and so that I can start eating more kinds of food!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! We had great weather for our easter egg hunt today. We brought our own eggs from home and made sure I knew that there were treats inside them for me. Then the Easter Bunny hid them so that I could have my easter egg hung. The easter bunny kept the level pretty easy since this was my first easter.

I found all the eggs! Well, I saw all the eggs but I made no effort to get to them, even though they had treats inside. I was content to just look at them. In the end Mommy and Daddy helped me collect the eggs. Then I could play with them and have the treats inside.

It was a fun easter egg hunt and I did enjoy the little treats inside, but I can’t wait until I’m older. Not only will I actually be able to hunt for the eggs on the own, I hear that chocolate is really popular during easter. I can’t wait to get a taste of that!

Appropriate play (bead maze) and not so appropriate play (diaper pail)

I like to play with my toys and I’m usually very good at playing nicely. Sure, I can be rough with my toys sometimes, but for the most part I play with toys the way they were meant to be played with.

But I am also a very curious explorer and I play with a lot of things that are not toys and that I should play with. Trash cans, diaper pails, and laundry baskets are always overturned when I’m around.

Taking a break

I pretty much play nonstop so I have to remind myself to take a break every so often. It is also a good time to get my diaper changed. That is, if I don’t run away and continue to play.
