I know that I’m a big boy now and that I should be able to walk to school, but I much prefer that Daddy carry me. Especially in the winter. It is so much warmer to be carried than to walk on my own. Also, Daddy let’s me watch one of my kids’ songs on the way. I think it is just his way of baiting me into leaving the house. I’m not going to complain.
Today Daddy came home from work with drinks for everyone. I got a grape flavor yogurt drink which was so good that I finished it in no time.
Today we brought a lot of beach toys to the park and we all played with the sand. I was collecting a lot of delicious sand for my cooking. I made all kinds of dishes for my teachers who ate them eagerly and told me they were all very yummy.
Daddy told me it was botcha time. I corrected him and said that it was “almost” botcha time. I found out that tacking “almost” on to different scheduled times is a good way to put something off.
We play so hard at the park that sometimes we just have to take a break on the bench.
Part of our going to school routine includes watching a music video from my favorite kids show app. It started off with Wheels on the bus and then it moved on to a lot of different songs on the app. It is a bit of a reward for leaving home on time to head to school.
Today at the park I ran around with my friends and teachers all while holding hands. It was so much fun. After we ran around we went looking for grasshoppers but couldn’t find any. I reported this to my teacher.
Recently I have been requesting shirt and pants hats. What that means is that when Daddy goes to bathe me, he makes hats out of the clothes that I take off. We have made many types of hats of all sorts of designs. I always have to show Mommy my newest fashion trend.
Just helping Daddy in the kitchen. We are having nabe tonight. I got to mix and pour.
Today I did some water coloring. I don’t mean I painted with water colors. I mean I used water to color. We got this special paper where the colors come out when you brush it with water. It was pretty cool! And I did a good job. The right colors stayed in the right area. Art!
I have a bunch of pullback cars that I usually get with kids’ meals. They don’t work very well on the mat in the living room. So Daddy pulled back the futon bed and we played with the pullback cars on the hardwood floor. They really zipped and zoomed so fast!
Recently when we’ve been going to the park I love to go down the slide and sometimes Mommy and Daddy make a tunnel over the slide for me. But Mommy was busy today so Daddy took me to the park by himself. So he tried to make a tunnel and take a video at the same time. But I insisted on a two-handed tunnel, so he wasn’t able to video my epic slide through the slide tunnel.
After so much active and imaginative play, sometimes I just need to relax and have some quiet time. I am allowed some iPad time and TV time. But before long I get antsy and end up playing.
Daddy is teaching me how to do dogeza, which is the Japanese kneeling bow. It is used to profusely apologize after doing something wrong. Daddy hinted that I would need to know how to do this.
I don’t ride my bike that often. I still think it is more efficient to walk, run, or be carried. But every so often I like to practice so that one day my bike will be faster than other forms of transportation.
Despite my practice, when it was time to go to the park I chose to walk instead of ride. Then I wend down the slide again and again.
