We were playing outside and Papa dug up some old toys for me to try out. He found a stomp rocket and Tata was kind enough to show me how it worked. I had a hard time getting it to fly on my own, but I was really good at fetching the rockets after their […]

Papa picked up bento for everyone and we ate at the beach. I got my own bento and ate all the meat all by myself. (Nana and Papa shared their bento of the same size.). I didn’t eat all the rice, but it was still a very large serving for a two and half year old. When

The weather was nice so we decided to go to the beach today. I was very quick to get ready because I was eager to go to the beach. I was ready so quickly that there was a lot of waiting around to do. Tata also get ready very quickly and played with me while we waited.

I woke up at my normal time of 7 this morning. I had breakfast and got straight to playing. I one point I wanted to play with Nana’s iPad so I asked her. She told me to ask Daddy or Mommy. I was hesitant to do that because I thought they might say no. I told Nana that

I had a big dinner. Shoveling spaghetti into my mouth. I ate a lot! I also had raspberry gelato for dessert. When it was time for bath, I started crying and said, “I don’t like bath”. Daddy talked to me and explained that sometimes we have to do things that we don’t like to do. It didn’t take

Daddy’s high school friends came over with their families. As usual, they all had a great time together, but I was not very good at sharing my toys. There was a little boy a little older than me, and of course, he likes cars and trucks as well. Daddy had talked to me about sharing before they

I had another nice long sleep. I slept about 11 hours. There is just so much going on that I need a lot of sleep. When I woke up I had breakfast but wanted to go play right away. Near the end of my meal I started looking for Tata. I stopped eating and went off to play. I

Daddy and I slept in a bit and even after Mommy woke up I did not move to take advantage of the huge bed. I snuggled right up against Daddy, almost forcing him off the edge of the bed.

We had lamb for dinner and I was very excited. As soon as I sat down at the table I saw the tray of lamb and said, “meat” demanding some lamb on my plate. I ended eating three and a half pieces. I also ate a lot of rice because the lamb was very flavorful and I needed

After lunch we cleaned up the Christmas decorations. I played on Nana’s iPad for a bit while everyone was working. My job was to stay out of everyone’s way. In the afternoon we went to get me new sandals. My sandals were too small and I have been complaining about them being “too tight”. I was not in

We are taking down the tree today so we wanted to take a family picture in front of it. Easier said than done. It takes a lot of takes to get a good picture, but I think we got it.

When chatting with Daddy, he started to ramble off a bunch of movie and TV quotes and I just copied them like a little parrot. Some I heard before and some were new. I’m not sure how useful they are going to be in my daily life, but it was fun just chatting about them

For lunch we had saimin, which is like ramen. It was really good and I ate a lot!

I had a really long sleep. I went to sleep around 10:15 and I woke up around 9:15. So I slept about 11-hours. When I woke up I was happy to see that breakfast was waiting for me. I had a fruit salad and a waffle. I liked the waffle because we I was allowed to eat some

So as you know, I fell asleep within minutes of leaving the beach. I was exhausted (and maybe still a little jet-lagged). Apparently a lot happened while I slept. We arrived home and Mommy got out to shower and Daddy circled the block a couple times while I slept. He asked Papa to take over

After playing outside we needed some quiet time so Nana and I plopped on the couch and played some iPad games. I have a feeling that we’ll be doing this a lot on this trip.

After such a huge breakfast we decided to play outside a bit and run around to burn off some of those calories.
