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

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!

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.

Usually I am very lazy and like to be carried to school. That kind of works out because we are usually cutting it close on time and can’t wait for my short legs to get us to school on time. But every so often I prefer walking. This morning I was in a very energetic mood and wanted

On our walk today we went to the 11th floor of the prefectural office building. It was really cool up there. We could see very far and everything look so tiny. While up there I asked my teacher a lot of questions. Recently I ask a lot of “why” questions. Today I asked her why trains go. She answered that they

It looks like we were not the only ones to set up our Christmas tree. There was a Christmas tree in the elevator hall of my nursery school. I still like mine better, but it was still quite pretty.

Today was a rainy day so we spend it indoors. We started off with some Christmas songs. It may not look it, but I did enjoy it. We also played with clay. It was quite sticky, but I had fun making different shapes with my clay. At school my teachers were complimenting my haircut and I told them

I’m not fond of haircuts. But I do know that it is necessary. I don’t like my long hair in my eyes. Mommy and Daddy give me treats and rewards when I get a haircut. I get to watch YouTube and eat sweets. It makes it a little more bearable.

One of my favorite weekend breakfasts is pancakes and sausages. I love eggs too, but pancakes seem to be my breakfast of choice recently.

When out at dinner tonight I was feeling really happy and in a really good mood. Of course, I ate a lot and enjoyed everything, but I also had fun playing. I was making Mommy sleep and wake up.

Today I helped Daddy set up our outdoor Christmas lights. It looks pretty good! We went for our usual Christmas tree design and added a little more.

While playing, Daddy and I started to practice our apologies. We had done it before and it is something that we revisit every so often. We even practiced our kneeling bowing and apologies.

Ojisan, Obachan, and Baaba came over to the house to visit and after ignoring Ojisan for a long time, I finally came around and started interacting with him a bit. We even played together a little. Even with me pretending not to notice him, he seemed to enjoy his visit. He had a lot of fun watching me

There was an exhibition at the airport and Mommy’s brother was flying in to visit, so it was a good chance to go to the airport. When I saw Ojisan, I pretended not to notice him and played hard to get. He was very happy to see me but I gave him the cold shoulder. It is just

We had lunch at a restaurant and the dessert that came with it was a chocolate cake for kids. It wasn’t too sweet and made from rice flour, which is why I wasn’t a big fan of it. I said that it was “Shoppai” or salty. I think it was because I don’t really know the word for

There was a small musical performance in part of our local art museum so we went to check it out. It was pretty cool. The two musicians played a guitar and accordion and sang a bunch of songs. I knew a few of them and other were new to me. It was a fun musical experience. Even though I didn’t

Today was a very clear and sunny day. At the park I noticed that there were no clouds in the sky. I asked my teacher, “Where did the clouds go?” She responded, “I wonder where they went. Where do you think they went?” To which I answered, “They probably went home.”
