Mason Shoma

One the way home from school today Mommy and I spotted a cat. I tried to coax it out from hiding but it was being shy.

We were planning to go for a walk before it started raining but when we go outside we saw that it had already started raining. Too late. Oh well. Maybe we’ll have better luck next time.

I moved my observation from the gallery to the sidelines and was right there with my friends to cheer them on as they practiced gymnastics. When it was my turn, I ran up and touched the gym equipment. Baby steps toward actually fully participating in the gymnastics class.

Daddy got some ice cream for Mommy and me to share, but I was not happy with the amount or speed of the ice cream coming my way. Mommy, Mason, Mommy, Mason was not sitting well with me. The way I was acting it was as if I expected Mason, Mason, Mason, Mommy, Mason, Mason, Mason. It might sound like I’m being greedy, but we wouldn’t have this problem if Daddy just got us one ice cream Sunday each. I’m just saying.

We went to Costco today and Daddy dropped Mommy and me off at the play area while he went shopping. I was very excited at the play area and was acting silly.

I had fun riding cars. My favorite blue car was still there and I made sure to keep my but on it so that no one else could get it.

I played in the ball pit and had a ball!

I played with the Purarail train set too, but I forgot that it was not there just for me. I ended up crying because some other kids tried to play with it too. Actually, I think I was in the right because I was there first, but I guess I could have just shared a few of the trains and sections of the train track with other kids. I like the play area but am not to fond of the fact that many other kids go there too.

Daddy finished shopping and caught up with us. I forgot all my woes when we went into the bouncy house. Boy did we work up a sweat.

I had a ball again in the ball pit again! Well, that is until some other kids were encroaching on my space. I started crying because they were all up in my space when I was going to go down the slide. That was a sign that I was quite tired and it was time to go.

I love going to the play area but I wish it was there just for me. I’m working on being okay with other kids playing there too, but it is not easy. Hopefully I’ll be able to enjoy the play area without any crying the next time we come here.

I woke up really hungry so I had a pretty big breakfast. Daddy woke up late so Mommy and I just hung out together.

We were looking for cars in my book but I guess Daddy’s eyes aren’t as good as they used to be because he said he needed a magnifying glass. I had never seen one in real life before and I found it to be very interesting.

Today we made slime. I had played with slime at school today, but I never helped in making it. It was really cool how just a bunch of ingredients turned into slime. Fascinating!

I had a Happy Meal for dinner today and the toy was a Mario car toy. It was pretty cool. It didn’t have real wheels that turned or anything, but it could shoot a key. Awesome!

On our walk today we saw a lot of things. First we saw a police car and that got our attention.

We also saw some ducks and a lot of pill bugs.

We also were interested in the dessert menu at a cafe that we passed by.

On our walk to the park we found some cast off skin of cicada. It was fascinating to us. We spent some time just admiring the skin. Then we ran around a lot.

School is always fun, but it is nice to be home with my original playmate.

Today was going to be a busy day, so I made sure to have a good breakfast. On top of having my regular breakfast I had a whole banana for the extra energy.

At school we took a nice walk and when we got back we had our gymnastics class. I participated again today and did all the bar poses that we were practicing. For someone who did not practice very often, I did pretty good.

Tonight for book time I took a bit of a detour and we read a sticker book. Even though there wasn’t really a story in the book we made a conversation out of it.

Today we had gymnastics practice and I voluntarily participated. I’ve been enjoying it lately and participate instead of observing. I jumped on the mat and did the bar as well. It was fun!

After that we played with clay and slime. It was a nice day of indoor fun.

Just playing with my parking garage. This was one of my first gifts, but it is still a go-to toy for me. With all the different HotWheels and Tomica that I have, there is always something to do with the parking garage.

I’m leveling up my chopsticks skills. We’ve removed one of the finger rings. Little by little we will take the rings away until I can just use chopsticks as is.

I’m way too big for my high-low chair, but I still find ways to play with it.

Speaking of being too big. We measured my height again today and I’m 98.5 cm (37.78 in). Pretty tall! I’ve just been sprouting up these past couple of years. After measuring my height I was curious about the tape measure so I played with it a bit. I get the general idea of how to use it, but I don’t know what to do with the information. Oh well, it was still fun.

After grocery shopping Daddy treated Mommy and me to Starbucks as usual. This time we had a strawberry frappuccino. It was so yummy!

Just singing. It is an original song. I’m not really sure the meaning of it. That’s for my listeners to find out. It’s not the words, it’s the passion behind the words that matter.
