Color mixing

Today we experimented with colors. We put coffee filters into cups of watered down paints and watched how the colors seeped into the paper. We also watched as the colors bled into each other and mixed to make new colors. I was amazed to watch blue and red make purple and yellow and red make orange. Fascinating!

In English class we learned a lot of things. We learned about body parts, counting to 20, the weather, and bugs. When asked which bug I liked, I said, “spider”, which is not really true. It was just what was left to choose from. Everyone was very impressed by my pronunciation and my classmates often mimic me.

Pineapple carving

Today at school we had a pineapple carving presentation. We learned a lot about pineapples, including the parts that we don’t eat and don’t normally see. We touched the outside and saw how pineapples are cut properly so that we don’t get any dangerous parts. And of course we ate the pineapple as part of lunch. Education can be very delicious!

Dental care and railroad crossing

I cried a bit when I got to school today. I guess I still felt a bit sad about my morning behavior.

We had a lesson about dental care and we all listened very intently. We are scheduled to get fluoride treatment later this month so we want to give our teeth the best chance at good health.

At the park we played railroad crossing. Our teacher was the railroad crossing and we would stop when her arm was down and cross when her arm was up. We also played with balls. I was practicing my soccer skills by kicking and dribbling a ball. I’m getting much better at it.

Morning apology

I was in a bad mood this morning and I threw a tantrum. I wouldn’t get ready for school so we were behind schedule. It was so bad that Mommy had to leave before Daddy and me so that she could get to work on time.

I eventually calmed down and got ready for school. But I felt bad about how I behaved. On our walk to school Daddy helped me record an apology video to send to Mommy so that we could both start our Daddy without my morning behavior ruining it.

Morning songs and cops and robbers

This morning we started off with a morning song, but I wasn’t feeling it and just sat and observed instead of singing and doing the motions.

I was much more into our park playtime where we played cops and robbers. We chased our teacher around and around.

When it was time for a water break we said, “Let’s go to the gas station” and when we were done drinking our tea we head back out and said, “Gas tank is full!”

Butterflies, running around, and catch at the park

We were heading out to the park again today, but I was running around our carport for a bit to warm up before we left.

At the park I tried to catch some butterflies but they were to fast and fluttery to catch. Daddy caught a couple and showed them to me before we let them go.

I ran around a stone path with Daddy, pretending to be trains. We had so much fun going around and around.

We also played catch. I’m doing a lot better at catching and throwing.

Honey toast

Daddy made a special breakfast for Mommy and me. He made honey toast! Usually you are supposed to use an unsliced loaf of bread, but since we didn’t have that he just stacked the bread. It was still very delicious and actually a lot easier to eat! We finished the whole thing! Thank you, Daddy!

Corn off the cob

I really like corn and especially like corn on the cob. But Daddy has a particular way of eating corn on the cob sometimes. There are times when he doesn’t want to get all the kernels stuck in his teeth so he picks them off the cob. I also don’t like to get corn in my teeth so I decided to let Daddy take the kernels off my corn for me. I ate them so quickly.

Full afternoon

After the petting zoo, we headed to the train station to meet Baaba and Obachan who were coming to visit me. While waiting for them we decided to pick up snacks for everyone so we went to the bakery and picked up some pastries and donuts. (The donut was for me). At the house we had our snacks and I really enjoyed the donut.

After our snack, I showed them my Mercedes. They were very impressed with my driving skills. But then I started to act silly and while driving I lost my shoes. Oops! It was very funny!

Back indoors I did some coloring and some studying. I tried my hand at a writing workbook that Nana and Papa got me. It was still a bit too hard for me, but I’m sure I’ll pick it up soon.

I played with a bunch of other things and finished off with some stickers that I found.

New booster seat

I’m such a big boy that I kind of outgrew my carseat. We got me a booster seat to replace the carseat that I have been using since I was an infant. I was very happy to sit in my booster seat. It was a lot more comfortable and I can see a lot more too.

Mini petting zoo at the park

There was a special event at the park today where the veterinary college brought some of their animals for a mini petting zoo. Mommy had to work this morning so Daddy and I met her at the park.

There were a lot of cool animals to pet and touch. Even while waiting in line to touch animals we got to touch a snake.

Of all the animals to touch I liked touching the tortoise the most. It was hard and rough, but not as slow as I thought it would be.

We got to hold a guinea pig for a while too. It was very calm and so cute. I liked petting it and looking at it.

There was a turtle that was trying to climb out of his box. I think he wanted to get out to run around the park and play with me.

Drawing and gymnastics

Today we had a lot of indoor activities. We drew a lot of pictures. We drew rain because it was a rainy day.

We had gymnastics class today. I often sit out and only observe gymnastics class but today i joined in. It was mainly floor activities so it was a easier for me to join in.
