Rhythm and glue

We had a rhythmic session today. We made music, danced around, and did “go”/”stop” with the music. We had a lot of rhythmic fun! It was a rainy day so we played indoors. We had a lot of fun making Christmas cards with cut-outs and glue.

Waking up in the middle of the night

I often wake up in the middle of the night and find myself alone in bed. I seek Mommy out and she puts me back to sleep. Note: It has to be Mommy. Daddy just won’t do.

Clay day

It was a uncharacteristically snowy day today, so we didn’t go for a walk. Instead we played with clay! It was a lot of fun to make all kinds of interesting creations! I made ice cream of a many flavors.

Breakfast on Daddy’s lap

I no longer sit in my chair for breakfast. I sit on Daddy’s lap and watch Carl’s Carwash while eating breakfast. It is nice cuddly way to start the day.

Toilet try

I’m still not toilet trained, but I have taken an interest in it. I still occasionally announce that I want to sit on the toilet. To give me the time necessary to possibly “go” Mommy and Daddy let me use the iPad, but it still did not happen this time. Maybe next time.

Missing Mommy and running around

I started off this morning at school missing Mommy fiercely. I was crying and telling my teachers, “I want Mommy.” It never really happened before. I eventually calmed down, but it was an unstable day. Little things like not getting to play with the toy I wanted triggered me to say, “I want Mommy,” and

English lesson and a view

I always enjoy our English lessons at nursery school. It is my chance to use my English at school. I always have no problem answering Aaron-sensei’s questions. A lot of my classmates end up learning from my answers as well as Aaron-sensei’s lessons. After our lesson we visited the prefectural office and enjoyed the city

Morning shows

Our current morning routine starts off with watching Carl’s Carwash on my Super Simple Songs app. I can watch the same episodes over and over again. I am not really a morning person but when Daddy wakes me up by saying, “Do you want to watch Carl’s Carwash” I rise in a zombie like fashion

Today was quite cold, but we all enjoyed taking a walk in the brisk air. Once we got to the park we started running around only to be distracted by the water puddles and wet leaves. Fascinating. A nice walk really gets our appetite going so when we got back to school we were excited

Sunday morning

Sunday mornings are awesome. We can relax and there is no rush to go anywhere. We just hang out on the couch, watch TV, and eat breakfast. All days should start off like this.

Shopping and small Christmas party

We got together with my friend again today and started off with a trip to Costco. We all needed some things and the grownups were picking up sushi for dinner. It was not as entertaining for us kids, but we were okay with the wait because of my Super Simple Songs app. My friend also

Shoehorn and zipper

I’m getting to be quite independent. I like to do a lot of things on my own. Recently I noticed Daddy using the shoehorn in the morning so I wanted to copy him. I don’t quite get how to use it, but I plan to work on it. I am also quite good and zipping

School recital

We had a school recital today. We had been practicing for quite some time and I was getting pretty good at the singing and dancing. But I don’t really like these events. There are too many people and too much pressure. And there are costumes to wear. As you can see, I actually made a

Rainy day indoors activities

It was rainy today so we couldn’t go out for our walk. We stayed in instead and had indoor activities, which were also a lot of fun. We did some coloring and played with stickers. We also did some puzzles. Of course I chose the puzzle with vehicles.

Shirt hat and potato song

We got home from a weeknight dinner out and I was in a great mood despite it being past my bedtime. I’m very chatting during my baths and even after I kept talking and singing. Tonight I sang the potato song. I do a pretty good job of memorizing the words and even the dance that the potatoes

Wagyu

Mommy’s friend from when she lived in Perth was visiting Japan so we went out to dinner with her and her family. I was quite well behaved, mainly because there was so much good food. I had my first taste of really good (expensive) wagyu beef. It was so good it just melted in your mouth. I entered into

Walk to the park

We had another nice walk to the park and once we got there we just kept on walking. But then, of course, walking was not enough so we started another game of chase. We even came up with variations like running backwards while still playing chase. It was a lot of fun!

Playing chase at the park

We all had a lot of fun running around and playing chase at the park. As usual, there was confusion about who was “it” but we still enjoyed running away/after each other.
