Conversations with Daddy on the way home

2025/03/24: Daddy picked me up from school today and we had a nice long conversation that covered so many things. We talked about gummy bears, different cars, the moon, and other observations.

2025/03/31: Another nice long conversation with Daddy after he picked me up from school. It was my last day at my nursery school. I will start a new nursery school next month. The new school is much closer to home so I don’t think I will be able to have these nice long conversations with Daddy while walking home.

June 23 – June 27, 2025

Mommy was a bit late for her train, so we had to say goodbye at home and she raced off to her train. I raced off after her, then she turned around and headed home. It seems she had forgotten something. A couple minutes later she ran by us and was able to catch her train. That’s a tough way to start the week.

More dishes for more allowance.

Watching Daddy clean my ears on the ear cleaner camera.

It is tough waking up in the morning.

Chasing Mommy to work again.

Need more money to buy more Tomica cars.

Wow! I wonder what they are going to build.

Checking the garden.

So many veggies for dinner!

Washing my bento stuff from school after dinner.

Ooh, more construction.

Just a little snack as I help with dinner.

Buttoning up my pajamas all on my own. What a long week.

Mommy had to work today on Sunday. So it was just the boys at home. We took it easy and lazed about.

Then we cooked up a storm. I had stuff on the stove an in the oven. Daddy and I made a grand meal.

Then we went to visit Mommy at her work event. She was still busy when we got there, so I just chilled a bit.

I had already eaten lunch, but I had a bite with her for her lunch. I got a nice big melon bread and finished the whole thing with a big glass of apple juice. Mommy ate a full lunch but I think her meal was smaller than my “snack”.

We all headed home on the subway and just to be sure I had Daddy show me the route home.

June 16 – June 20, 2025

Back to the weekly grind. Weekend is over and back to school.

It is nice to see my teachers and friends, but I miss spending time with Mommy and Daddy.

Got to treat myself to some treats from time to time.

Sometimes, I just gotta sing…with a faucet microphone.

Someone is sleeping upsidedown.

Not every morning is all sunshine and rainbows.

Doing what I can to help around the house.

I get treated like a baby sometimes when I ask to be. ?Rockabye baby on the treetop?

Some mornings I just can’t wait to get to school!

Our Tanabata wishes!

Finding a pillbug on the way home from school.

Doing a bit more chores…for allowance.

At school I’m a very good listener. Much more attentive than at my last school, but of course I’m older now.

Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day, Daddy! For most celebrations you get people things like cake, but I am well aware that Daddy does not eat sweets. Even when we pretend play and I run a donut shop, I always make sure to have non-sweet sweets for him. I often have coffee-flavored donuts or even beer-flavored donuts. Today, for Fathers’ Day, I didn’t get him beer-flavored donuts, I just got him the real thing! Love you, Daddy!

Playing and growing up

Even though school is fun, I love playing at home.

I play a lot at school, but I do a lot of growing up as well. There are so many things that I learned how to do on my own. And I found new ways to play.

At home the way I play is growing to. My imagination is taking off and I create all kinds of scenarios and stories when I play.

Heading home to watermelons

After the movie, lunch, and game center fun, we headed home. It was a bit of a walk to the the bus stop, but Daddy made it fun for me. He just started to do some silly walks without saying a word and I started to copy him.

We waited a bit for the bus and then headed home.

I was getting pretty tired so Daddy gave me a “double-decker bus” ride.

When we got home I got a nice refreshings, and messy, watermelon snack.

I ended the day playing with my New Blocks and making a firetruck just like my new Tomica.

Game Center

After the movie, we had lunch and then headed to a game center in the shopping center. We could get a few free plays with our movie ticket stubs. I found a claw (scoop) game that had Tomica cars in it. We used our free plays and a bit of our own coin and it paid off! I got a brand new Tomica firetruck! Yay!

We tried our hand at some other claw games, but no luck there.

First Movie in the Movie Theater

Today I went to watch my first movie in the movie theater! I had watched movies at home on the TV, but never at the movie theater. I had seen TV shows like Bluey where they go to the the movie theater and it looked like so much fun that I wanted to try it. We went to see the live action version of Lilo & Stitch! I have seen the cartoon version and liked it, so I was very excited about the newest movie! Also I really wanted to eat popcorn in a movie theater!

The movie was great and so was the popcorn! Awesome!

Oh, I also found a cool Chupa Chups machine in the lobby so I had a nice post-movie snack too!

Watermelons, hanging out, and helping

It was another nice evening for eating watermelons outside. I ate a lot again and had a ball spitting the seeds out. It is not often when I’m allowed to spit.

Then Daddy and I chilled and hung out.

Then things just got silly.

After our watermelon dessert outside I helped clear the dinner table.

And I even wiped the table. I wanted to be helpful and earn my keep. (I also wanted my allowance.)

After all the cleaning was done, I took Mommy and Daddy for a drive.

Indoor and Outdoor fun

Just playing.

Having an indoor picnic! I was cooking so it was better not to do it in a wooded area.

At the park I chased some butterflies.

And to everyone’s surprise actually caught one all on my own!

I chased Daddy a bunch.

Then we played on the bug rockers.

At home I made a Tomica Town with a lot of emergency vehicles on standby.

First school week in June

There is always so much fun stuff to do at school. We are always playing indoors and outdoors.

The rainy season is going to start this month, but I’m not worried. I like my umbrella and rain gear.

I’m still eating really well at school and at home. I have favorites, of course, but I pretty much eat everything served to me. In the next few summer months I hope to eat a lot of corn on the cob. It is so sweet and crunchy!

We had a couple of rainy days this week.

But we had some nice weather days too, where we could run around outside in our school grounds.

No matter the weather, I can always play with my cars at home on our city rug.

I find a lot of fun ways to play in the bath too.

I play so hard that I sometimes have a hard time waking up in the morning.

But I usually sleep quite well…but Daddy often looks tired. Maybe his bed is not as comfy as mine.

I’m very independent at school. I can do so many things on my own. Such as put on my shoes, put away my backpack, and even go pee-pee on my own.

Every so often I get a special dinner like pizza, and I can watch a movie! I love those special nights. It usually comes with a dessert too.

Yum!

There are still things that I can’t do on my own, like cut my nails. Daddy does that for me.

Even with all the different things I can do on my own, I don’t want to grow up too fast. I want to stay Mommy and Daddy’s little boy as long as I can. And as much as Mommy and Daddy love watching me grow up, I think they are going to miss the days when I still needed them.

For now, we are all just treasuring our little moments together.

Watermelon and fireworks

It was a nice warm day and was starting to feel a bit like summer so I suggested we get some watermelon to eat outside after dinner. It was a refreshing dessert! Not only was the watermelon super sweet, but we all had fun spitting the seeds out as far as we could.

We also played with some fireworks a bit when it got dark.

They weren’t quite as spectacular as the fireworks we saw in Hawaii, but it was still pretty fun!

I let Daddy handle the fire and fireworks this time.

Mason’s Kitchen

I love playing with my cooking set. I can make so many delicious things. I am also really good at prep work, cutting and chopping. Some of my creations may not sound great, combinations like kiwi, fish, and broccoli soup, but don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. Mommy and Daddy really like my cooking!

Park Donuts

We headed to the park today! Not only did I want to play outside, but I wanted to eat my snack outside. I had a strawberry donut that needed to be enjoyed outdoors.

After my snack I drove my Mercedes all over the park. I even went off road quite a bit.

After a lot of driving I played around the park with Daddy. We ran around, played on the rockers, and played on the slide a bunch!

Reunion with old friends

Today I had a reunion with my old pals from my previous nursery school. We are good friends and even though I like my new school, I miss my friends. I talk about them often, sometimes randomly bringing up stories about the good times we had.

When we all met up, it was a bit awkward at first. We didn’t really know how to act together.

But then we warmed up quickly and it was just like old times. We played at the park for quite a long time. We ran around, played with balls, played with bubbles, looked for bugs, and chatted a lot.

After a nice morning playing together we went to lunch together. We had a great time there! We all are good eaters and cleaned our plates. I was the only one to bring toys so I shared them with my friends. Mommy and Daddy were very proud of me for doing that.

Lunch was over way too soon.

We headed home, parting ways at different times.

It was so nice to see them! I hope I get to see them again soon!
