At the park we played with bubbles, played with balls, and played in the sand. We ran around a lot, laughed a lot, and used our imagination. We had so much fun!

It might not be the best habit, but I like to watch TV shows while eating breakfast, even on school days. It is the easiest way to get me to wake up in the morning, but sometimes I can be distracted by TV and slow to finish my breakfast. That’s why the TV goes off at a certain time and I have to focus on finishing breakfast and getting ready for school.

I like looking at flowers. I’m always excited to find pretty flowers but know that we are not supposed to pick them. But the petals that already fell down are okay to pick up.

The rain had let up by the time Mommy picked me up to go home so we had no need for umbrellas or rain gear.

When we got home I made sure to store origami strawberries that I had picked at at school in the safest place I know: my Mercedes storage bin.

It was rainy today so we couldn’t go outside. But that was fine with us because our teachers set up some indoor strawberry picking for us. I picked some very delicious looking strawberries! We pretended to eat the strawberries and feed them to each other. Open wide, aaahhh!

It was rainy this morning and I was so happy to be able to wear my rain coat and rain boots.

Everyone noticed my new haircut at school today. I told them that Daddy cut my hair and that I didn’t like the “buinnn buinnn” (hair clipper sound). I like my haircut and think it is funny because it is the same haircut that one of my classmates has.

I made a cool train at school today. My teachers were quite impressed.

It was a bit drizzly on the way home so I wanted to wear my jacket. I think it is getting a bit small. Maybe it is time to get a new one.

Daddy cut my hair again today. I still don’t like haircuts, but I’ll tolerate them. I still won’t wear the haircut smock, so we have improvise and we used one of Daddy’s shirts to keep the hair off of me.

Just being a bit goofy and singing silly made up songs that have the Japanese word for poop a lot.

I like to push the shopping cart when we go shopping. I’ve gotten a lot better and hardly ever crash. I’m much more aware of things and other shoppers around me and do a good job of avoiding collisions.

We went to the park again today and I had fun running around with Daddy. We used the circular pathway as our train tracks or highway and would run, or “drive” along it. It was a lot of fun, but a little bit dizzying.

I played with Mommy on the slides a lot. I was a bit bossy at times, but it was a lot of fun.

We still haven’t decided if the Mercedes is going to be and indoor or outdoor Mercedes. I’ve used it as both and enjoy both. But it is a bit of a hassle to clean every time we bring it indoors. We’ll have to think about this one.

The best thing about getting pizza for dinner is the leftover pizza after that. Yum!

We went out for dinner to celebrate Mommy and Daddy’s anniversary. I like the restaurant and the food, but I was much more interested in the police car I saw parked near the restaurant. After it left I kept watching all kinds of cars go by in between courses. Food came and I would eat, but then back to car watching.

The more I talk, the more language and expressions I pick up. Some of them surprise Mommy and Daddy because of how natural they sound and sometimes because of how adult they sound.

Today, Daddy was working in the garden while I was driving my Mercedes around. I asked Daddy, “Daddy, are you done?” He said that he wasn’t done yet and still weeding and taking care fo the garden. I said, “I thought you were done already.” That surprised Daddy because he didn’t know I knew the word “already”. There are so many words that I’m just picking up and using in conversation.

Sometimes Mommy and Daddy are more impressed with the expressions I come up with on my own. The other day when Daddy picked me up from school I told him, “I like walking with Daddy”, just out of the blue. I can let them know what I’m thinking and feeling. I also can be creative with letting them know how I feel. When eating pizza I said, “Eating pizza makes my tummy say ‘Yay!'”

We went to the park and had fun running around, playing on the playground equipment, and trudging through the high grass jungle.

We spent the morning at home, just playing with toys and stickers. When it was lunch time I requested sandwiches. I followed Daddy into the kitchen and ended up helping him make my sandwiches. They ended up extra yummy!

I had a pretty big breakfast, but I was still hungry so I asked for bananas. I already had some bananas in yogurt, but I wanted a whole banana. So I ate a whole banana to supplement my normal breakfast. It was so yummy!
