Mommy had to work today so I spent the morning with Daddy. We played a lot, practiced driving and chatted with Nana and Papa. Then we went to go visit Mommy so that we could all have lunch together. Jiiji and Baaba were going to meet us there too. The subway would have been easier […]

Daddy’s back home! It was nice to see him, but it was also nice to just get back to our normal routine. I did have a lot to talk to him about though. I told him about school over the past couple of days and showed him the book I borrowed from school. Daddy brought

In English class we learned about sea life. As always it was a lot of fun and my classmates copied my pronunciation when I said the English words ahead of them. I’m missing Daddy while he is on his business trip, but I am definitely not losing my appetite over it. I found ways to

Today at school we did crafts, making paper dolls for Hinamatsuri. We also had our gymnastics class. We started with our greetings, stretches, and then our favorite potato harvesting. We also did some work on the bar. I did really well and held on really tight.

Daddy had to leave for a business trip to Tokyo today. It is only going to be for a couple of days, but I’m really going to miss him. I was really good and didn’t cry or anything. I sent Daddy off with smiles and happy thoughts! In like the first hour he was gone

On our way to school today it started to snow. I was able to catch a few snowflakes in my hands. They were so pretty and delicate.

It was a very cold day to day. It had snowed a bit overnight, but there wasn’t that much snow left for us to play with. Still, we had a lot of fun running around. But it got cold so we sought warmth and headed into to the prefectural office to warm up and check

Yesterday was Setsubun so our teachers explained about the day and the tradion. Basically, it is the change of the seasons and a chance to expel all the bad luck and misfortune represented by oni, or ogres, and welcome in the good luck and good fortune. We expel the oni by throwing beans at them.

It was getting late in the evening, but it was still light enough for a quick visit to the park. We played with the ball for a bit. First we played catch and then we played my version of soccer where only I am allowed to use my hands. Then I played on the slide.

After Jiiji, Baaba, and Obachan went home I wanted to play outside. So I hopped on my Mercedes and drove a few circuits. Then I practiced driving in the real car. Somehow we got on the subject of flat tires, so Daddy thought he should show me how to change a tire. We didn’t actually

Today we had a birthday party for Daddy, whose birthday passed, and Baaba, whose birthday was coming up. I was in a very good mood because I woke up and got to watch a lot of TV since it was a no-school day. And to ensure my good mood, Daddy made me a parfait for

Rainy days. Stuck inside. Not much to do. Even though it was raining today, I made sure to practice driving. I try not to miss a chance to practice driving on the weekend. It was even more fun than usual today because I got to use the wipers. When playing with my cooking set I

My double-decker bus ride to school. Visiting our duck friends at the park. Practicing for our natural disaster drill. Looking at and smelling flower petals. Rhythmic dance. Playing karuta with classmates. We played with vehicle, animal, and country flag cards. Once I got the hang of it, I wanted to play again and again! Getting

People keep telling me how much I’ve grown so I decided to see for myself how much I’ve grown. So I got a measuring tape and tried to measure my height. It was a bit hard so I had Daddy help me.

I was very excited about a playdate with my friend today! I needed a lot of energy so Daddy made me a special parfait for breakfast! When my friend came over I decided to play a little hard to get and hid under the blanket. We made some origami animals and it was a lot

I wasted no time and got right to practice driving. It is one of my favorite weekend activities. I would like to do it more often and longer, but apparently Daddy doesn’t want to waste gas so my time is limited. We went to the park today. It was cold, but it is nice to

The weather on Monday was really nice so we went for a walk to the park and took a group photo with all the classes in our school. We also saw a bunch of animals at the park like ducks and cats. On Tuesday at the park I found a bunch of acorns and did
