Kinder NurseryWe did ‘animal exercise’ and ‘alarm exercise’. It was Yee-chan’s first time and she did not dance. She watched her friends danced. Later, we played mini cars and Yee-chan asked, “これ何？" (What’s this?). She also said, “しゃ” (train) on train.Prayer RequestMummy is very concerned with Yee's potty training. It is far from success. These few days, Yee stopped telling Mummy that she wants to 'poo'. Maybe it is because Mummy always asked her to use the potty. - "Dear God, please help Yee to be fully toilet-trained. In Jesus name, we pray, amen."
Bath Time
Mummy was surprised when Yee pulled up the plug and said, "No more water" and moved on to keep her toys before the alarm rang. Yee's really Mummy's good girl. Singing Time

b) Yee sang "ABC"Spoken Words

Kinder NurseryWe had pool time today. Yee-chan loves pool time and was very happy. But when her friends took her bucket, she cried. When given a different bucket, she stopped crying. When it was time to get out of the pool, Yee wanted to play more and cried.
Spoken Words
- This morning, Yee pointed at her breakfast and asked, "何これ。" (What's this?)
- Recently, Yee likes to say "とぶ (跳ぶ）" whenever she jumps. Yee is speaking more Japanese. It's a pity that Daddy and Mummy don't always understand her.
Showertime
- These evenings, Mummy lets Yee play in the bath tub for 15 minutes. Mummy sets an alarm and when it rings, Mummy shows it so Yee and tell her, "time up." Yee will put the toys in the bag and then pull up the plug for the water to drain off.
- Mummy is glad to think of the alarm and implement it from the beginning. It has worked well.
Kinder NurseryToday was the end of summer holidays. We could see that high-spirited Yee-chan was very happy. Did she have many memories of the summer holidays? We have obstacle course in the room today. We put the ball in a basket and walked on the mat. Yee-chan enjoyed herself very much.Spoken Words
While Mummy was preparing the dinner, Yee looked at Mummy and said, "Eat now."
Mummy and Yee sent Daddy to the train station. Then we went to the supermarket but it was not opened yet as it was only 9:50am. So, Mummy took Yee for a ride and stopped by the park. It was a wonderful detour as Mummy discovered that Yee could do many things on her own.Swinging-good-time
Climbing up by herself and standing tall,
From standing position to sitting,
it was interesting to watch Yee moving from the first swing, to the second and finally to the fourth swing. She surely made sure she had fun with all the swings.
Sliding-good-timeThis is the first-time Mummy saw Yee playing on this slide. It was high but Yee was in control. Honestly, despite Yee's skillfulness at the slide, Mummy kept a keen eye on Yee all the time.
Yee played non-stop till Mummy had to carry her away to have a snack and drink.Sanding-good-timeYee wanted to play in the sandbox, Mummy told her that she had to finish her bun first. And Yee ate quickly and hurried to the sandbox.
As this was an unplanned visit to the park, Mummy did not bring along any toys to play with. Yee took a bucket and spade from the sandbox. The owner, a little girl, saw it and quickly walked up to Yee, stretched out her hand and told Yee to return them to her. Mummy explained to Yee that the toys belonged to the girl. Yee thought for a while and returned them to the owner. I brought Yee to the nearby convenient store and bought the only available suitable toys for her to play at the sandbox.
First-time: Sleeping on the BikeAs Mummy was riding, Yee held on to Mummy's hands (instead of the handle in front of her) and leaned back comfortably. As Mummy expected, Yee had dozed off.First-time: Napping in the living roomMummy decided to let Yee sleep in the living room as the bedroom was too warm.
