Silly shoulder shrugs

We were having dinner and talking about a bunch of different things and somehow we got on the topic of shoulder shrugs. I think it came up because of a scene in the movie Sister Act where the nuns were doing shoulder shrugs while singing. I picked up on it and started to do shoulder shrugs. Then the shoulder shrugs got silly! Daddy made it even sillier by doing a weird goblin-like voice. We had a great laugh about all of it!

Then Mommy and Daddy showed me the actually clip of the shoulder shrugs and then I got it. But I was more interested in conducting the music by that time.

Ramen

I had ramen for the first time today. Can you believe it? You would think that I would have had it a long time ago. I think Mommy and Daddy were hiding it from me because they knew that ramen is so delicious and I might not eat anything else after it. Well, they were right. It was super delicious! But of course I’ll still eat other foods, even other noodles.

I really enjoyed the ramen. I was very quiet and focused on eating. I don’t think I came up for air until I was done eating everything. The noodles were great, but the soup was so good! I drank every last drop! I can’t wait until we eat ramen again!

Cleaning the pool

Since I had had such a great time playing in the pool I thought I should help with the pool cleaning. I helped by playing in the pool again. Needless to say I got soaked and needed to change all of my clothes. Nobody said pool cleaning was going to be dry work.

Helping water the garden

I like to help Daddy in the garden. Today we took the water from the pool to water the garden. I did what I could to help by carrying a bucket of water to the plants. It was too heavy for me to pour, but I was still a big help!

And as a reward I stomped in the water puddles.

First breakfast done

First breakfast is finished. Now I take short break and wait until Mommy and Daddy eat breakfast and then it is time for second breakfast. I usually eat nearly half of Daddy’s breakfast, but recently his plate has a lot more food. I think he has been calculating how much I steal from his plate and makes sure there is enough left for him.

Visit from Ojisan and (great) Obasan

We had a visit from Ojisan who was in town from Tokyo for a day. He had some miles he wanted to use up so he came to visit me. I was very good this time and did not cry at all. I was actually happy to see him and had fun interacting with him. Especially because he brought me some yummy jelly (jell-o) from Tokyo. Now I can’t wait for his next visit.

Watching Mommy run to work

Some days Mommy has the early shift so as we are walking to school she heads off to the subway and goes to work and then Daddy drops me off at school. More often than not she spends every last second she can spare with me and then runs off (maybe more like trots off) toward the subway station. I watch her go and think its funny how she runs.

Likes and dislikes

I love songs at school…but not all of them. I have preferences. Some songs I will opt to sit out, or more accurately “lie out”. But when my jam comes on I’m front and center!

So of course I’m much more attentive and active when it is something I like.

Speaking of likes and attention, this is all of us focused on a garbage truck. Yes, just a plain old garbage truck.

We are just as interested in things likes pigeons. Yes, just a simple pigeon. Hey, we’re kids. We are interested in weird things.
