Indoor fun

It was rainy today so we couldn’t go for our walk at school. Instead we played on the trampoline. The trampoline was fun, but I enjoyed lining up for it more because it was like I was a train on a track.

We also made and decorated kites. We plan to fly them the next sunny day we have.

Shrine visit

On our school walk we visited the nearby shrine. I was not that excited since I had just been there a couple of days ago. But there were some new things to see. We all enjoyed looking at the different stalls that lined the streets nearby. We also enjoyed a monkey performance. Boy that is one talented monkey.

Gloves

We headed out to dinner, but the weather turned cold real fast. I was pretty cold so we stopped by a store and found these awesome police car gloves to keep my hands warm. I was very happy to have them!

With my toasty gloves on, I did not mind the walk to the restaurant and had a delicious and fun dinner!

Hatsumode

We went to a nearby shrine for hatsumode, or the first shrine visit of the year. Before we went Daddy was trying to teach me how to pray at the shrine. I did pretty good, but added my own silly twist to it.

The shrine visit went well. I even got my fortune and it was really good! Yay!

I also had a bit of a mini photoshoot as well.

I really like the family photos we took. I can be a real goofball sometimes.

Magnatile car transporter

Recently, there is more cross over with my toys when I play with them. One of my favorite things to do is make houses and car transporters for my HotWheels out of Magnatiles. I sometimes have Daddy make things for me based on the pictures on the box, but other times I come up with my own original designs.

Reach out and touch someone

I really miss Nana and Papa since we’ve been back in Japan. I have been asking about where they are. Daddy tells me they are in Hawaii, but I still don’t quite understand why they weren’t on the flight to Japan with us. It was nice to chat with them today, but it is not the same as being able to reach out and touch them. I tried, but it is not the same.

Breakfast and cooking

A big day starts with a hearty breakfast. On the weekend, that is usually a breakfast that is endless. After I finish eating I just keep asking for more food. Today I topped off my breakfast with untoasted toast…yeah, so just bread.

Then it was my turn to cook with my cooking set that I got for Christmas. Since we were in Hawaii for the holidays I didn’t really have a chance to play with it much. So today I really got into cooking.

Pre-bath delay tactics

I have different ways to put off going to bed. Once of the most effective ways is to use delay tactics whenever possible. Like right before bath when Daddy takes my shirt off, I ask him to make it into a hat. Then of course I have to show Mommy. Then if I have a runny nose, I have to get Mommy to wipe my nose. A few seconds here and there really help to delay bedtime. Sneaky, yeah?
