2Y3M (JP) - Thanksgiving Day

Last Sunday, we asked Pastor to pray for 孙军,媛娜和素媚. 孙军 was looking for a job for two months. On Friday night, 志刚 called to share with us a good news that 孙军 secured a job that day and would be leaving on Sunday for Osaka. We were all very happy for 孙军 and how God has blessed and answered our prayers. 孙军 is a new Christian and we prayed that God will continue to guide him in his Christian walk.

2Y3M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee

Surprise Morning Toilet Visit
Yee stood outside the toilet and told Mummy, "Toilet,"
Mummy asked, "Do you want to use the toilet?"
Yee nodded her head.
So, Mummy grabbed this golden opportunity and let her use it.

Spoken Words
While watching a Japanese kids program in the morning, Yee turned to Mummy and said, "butterfly." Mummy looked at the TV screen. The hosts were singing a song and part of the subtitles read: "ちょう(蝶)" which means butterfly. Mummy was surprised that what Yee heard in Japanese, she repeated it to Mummy in English.
Say "Cheese"
Outside the community centre (after Daddy and Mummy's Japanese class), Mummy asked Yee to look at the camera and Yee did her poses.


Yee faking her cry.
Yee complaining that she hurt her legs.

Seiyu
Whenever we are at Seiyu, Yee would run towards the shopping cart with blue baby seat. She would climb up on her own.

2Y4M (JP) ~ Ballet Diary ~ Daddy's Query












2Y3M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee

Surprise Potty Time
Mummy was surprised that she could get Yee to sit on the potty in the morning.

Youthful Daddy

Daddy looked young and energetic in this outfit.

Kinder Nursery

We went to "南根(みなみね)" park today. Yee and her friend queued for their turn to play on the swing. There were a lot of fallen cicada shells on the ground. Yee-chan looked at them and ran away laughing.

Journey Home From Nursery

- Mummy thought it would be a good idea for Yee to walk this evening.

- After Lawson, Yee played happily with the chains outside the store.


Instead of walking home, Yee wanted to go to the library. After the library, Yee walked very slowly ... home. Mummy was tired by the time we reached home at 7pm. It was a long time home as Mummy fetched Yee 15 minutes earlier than usual. Perhaps, Mummy should stick to cycling.
First-time series: Two Sentences of Actions.

- While Mummy was taking her picture, Yee said, "Hold hand. Stop it." This was the first time Yee spoke two sentences of actions. Mummy tried to get Yee to repeat the sentences, but she would not :-(



High Chair

Yee sat comfortably watching Elmo. Mummy was not using flash light initially. Once Mummy used the flashlight, Yee changed her sitting position and did the "1" and "2" signs while her eyes never leave the TV.

2Y3M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee

Kinder Nursery
We 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 Request
Mummy 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
Yee wanted to sing on her own. She did not want Daddy to sing along.
a) Yee sang "小白兔"

b) Yee sang "ABC"

Spoken Words
- Yee wanted to use two cups for her milk. Mummy said, "No." Then Yee cried. Mummy explained to her that she only needed one cup for a drink. After a while, Yee stopped crying. Yee came up to Mummy and said, "Stop crying".
- The other night, while Mummy was working on computer, Yee said, "Stop it" and wanted Mummy to play with her.

2Y3M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee

Kinder Nursery
We 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.
