The weather was really nice today so we went to visit a nearby shrine. The walk was a little further than our usual walks but I didn’t complain and walked the whole way. It was a really nice walk. What was even better was that we saw some construction vehicles on the way there. Awesome!

Just when it was time to leave for school I declared that there was no school today. Daddy reminded me that it was a school day and there was indeed school today. I told him no tomorrow. He talked to me and explained that he understood my feelings and he himself also wished it wasn’t a work day. But he couldn’t change that. I was fighting back tears but accepted the fact. I was clingy and delayed a bit more but it was time to leave and Mommy had to go first to catch her train. I was teary eyed and protested but I gave her a hug and waved goodbye. Daddy and I left a couple minutes later and I was fine by then. Don’t get me wrong, I like school a lot. It’s just that I like staying home with Mommy and Daddy even more.

Just giving Mommy a nice well-deserved massage after a long day. I thought I was giving her a very good massage until it accidentally turned…inappropriate.

I was feeling particularly photogenic today so I posed for some pictures, bib and all.

We picked up some sushi for dinner, or at least that’s what I heard. I was still sleeping in the car. When we got home I was wide awake and hungry. I was happy to see that Mommy and Daddy got me some ikura sushi for dinner. Yummy!

I ate really well and was in such a great mood after. I was being really silly and made myself really dizzy too.

We went shopping today…at least that’s what I heard. I fell asleep during the short drive to the grocery store. Daddy stayed in the car with me while I slept while Mommy went shopping by herself. This always happens. I don’t like to take naps, but once I’m in the car I get very sleepy.

We went to the park to play and we also brought along the cookies that Mommy and I made for snack. They were delicious! I brought house along with us too, but he didn’t get to eat any cookies because these were people cookies not doggy cookies.

I also brought my pickup truck to play with. It drove all over the place.

We coincidentally saw my friend as they drove by so they stopped by to say hi. I gave her some of my cookies and then I just kept on playing. She played too…only not necessarily directly with me. It was a bit of parallel play. But it was nice to see her and I was glad that she liked the cookies that we made.

I wandered over to the door near the kitchen and sat down. Daddy came to join me. Then we just hung out. Wassup!

Saturday mornings are awesome. After a long week of school it is nice not to have to be anywhere or have any plans and just relax and have fun.

Had a little bit of diaper leakage so I had to change pants early in the morning. But I was very particular about which pants I wanted to wear. Even though it is still pretty cold I chose short pants. I didn’t complain though.

I got a treat on the way home from school today. Mommy let me choose a drink from the vending machine. I was so excited and happy! I chose apple juice Qoo. I can’t wait to drink it at dinner.

Today at school we learned about Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day). Our teachers used a picture book to explain about the day and celebration. It is still early since Hinamatsuri is on March 3 (a Sunday), but it is good to be prepared. I listened quite intently to all the details.

We also went for a walk and stopped by a large Hinamatsuri display in a hotel. It was really cool! But I was more interested in the mail trucks that I saw on the way.

We had our rhythmic movement class today. We worked up quite a sweat moving to the music.

We also played with clay today. We made cookies with cookie cutters. I made a bunch and offered them to my teacher. “Here you go. Please eat it.”

It looks like my hair is getting a bit long. I may need a haircut soon. I’m not looking forward to that.

Today at the park we asked to play with bubbles and our request was answered. We had a lot of fun running around chasing the bubbles.

We also played Red light, green light. We understood the rules, but we kind of made the game Green light, green light.

We ran around so much that we had to take a lot of water breaks. I was actually very helpful and picked up some of my classmate’s water bottles and delivered them to them, telling my teacher, “This is so-and-so’s water bottle. I’ll bring it to him.”
