Mason Shoma

When I tell Alexa that I like her, she sings a special song to me. Then I do a special dance to that song.

At the park today we played Darumasan ga koronda, which is like red light green light. It was a lot of fun to play the game, but for the most part we just enjoyed running around.

At school, I’m expressing myself more and more. I tell my teachers and friends about my likes and dislikes. Recently I have been telling everyone, “I like bananas!”

I also show affection more and more. When my friend sits next to me and sometimes lean over and give them a hug.

I often get up in the middle of the night and when I realize I’m alone in bed I seek out Mommy. Not Daddy, only Mommy. I groggily stagger over to her, get a big hug, and get taken back to bed, feeling safe and happy again. I usually quickly fall right back asleep.

Treats after dinner.

Thinking about Obachan.

Silly sounds.

There were a lot of smiles today when we ran around the park. It is so good to get out and stretch our legs.

TOday at school when I was playing with blocks I made a carwash. I narrated to my teacher what I was doing, talking about the soap suds on the car and rinsing it with water. After the wash I dried the cars off with a cloth. My teacher was impressed with the range of service my carwash provided, but she was more surprised when I went so far as to fill the car with gasoline as well. Just a little extra service at Mason’s carwash.

I like eggs a lot. But I especially like hard-boiled eggs. Maybe it is because that is the first way I ate eggs when I was a baby. They are so simple and delicious. Now, I even like cracking the hard-boiled eggs open. It is a fun process for delicious food.

We had a nice walk today and then we headed to the prefectural office. We went up to the observation deck to see what we could see. I don’t know what my classmates saw, but I saw a lot of cool cars!

What a nice sunny day to play in the park. I had a lot of fun in the sandbox.

It was that time again. Haircut time. I don’t like haircuts because it gets very prickly. Maybe it is because I refuse to wear the smock that keeps the hair off of me. At least I get to eat some jelly and watch some YouTube. Oh, and I get a pretty descent haircut in the end.

Daddy and I decided to wash the car today. I’m such a big boy now that I’m much more a big help than before. I washed and rinsed all kinds of parts of the car. I wasn’t exactly consistent about where I washed, but I at least got some parts very clean.

Water break.

Laying an egg.

Getting House’s OK.

Chatting with House at the park.

Hanging out with House at the park.

Potato song and counting at the park.

Early morning couch jumping.

Ramen for lunch.

Airplane couch landing.

Snack time.

Already got shoes on, so army crawling back into the house.

Relaxing.

Daddy is a turtle.

Riding the bus to dinner and holding Daddy’s hand.

Yummy corn potage.

During botcha time tonight I discovered that I could make my sponge toys fly by squeezing them. I had a lot of fun. They were just popping out of my hands all over the place.

My new phrase of the week has been “I love you, sweety-pie”. Nana often calls me “Sweety-pie” and after our chat last week I have been using the same phrase at home. I tell Mommy and Daddy “I love you, sweety-pie”.
