Kinder Nursery
Today, we went to 駅前公園 to play with water. Yee-chan wore diaper and played with the water. Yee-chan loves playing with the water. She poured water into the bucket and poured out many times. I think she will want to play with water again when the weather is good.
Combination of Languages
Yee started to combine Japanese and English. Her fave combination is any English words with ない (which means 'not').
Case 1:
When we came home from school. I told her to take off her shoes and socks. Yee removed her shoes but not her socks. I asked her again. And she said, "shoe ない".
Case 2:
I gave her apple for supper tonight, Yee did not eat it. When I asked her, she said, "appleない".
Change of Clothes
These two evenings, when Yee wetted her shirt, she would take it off and get a new piece from the wardrobe. Such 'quick' change would mean more laundry time for mum.

2Y1M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee
Kinder Nursery
Today, we had physical exercise in the room. Yee-chan was shy and did not do it. After that, the children were running and Yee ran happily too. She ran for a long while by herself. She ran hard till the end.
Way Home
When we reached the bike park, Yee did not want to go home. So we took a stroll around the neighbourhood. Yee often squatted to look at the ants.
These are taken with self-view from the mobile. Yee was fascinated when she saw her own image on the mobile.
Supper Time
During supper (papaya), Yee dirtied her shirt a little. Yee took off her shirt, passed to me and said, "Dirty." Then she went to the wardrobe to get a new piece.

2Y1M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee
Milestones - Yee Dress Herself For School
Yee has been wearing pants on her own. Last night, she wore her shirt without any help. This morning, she put on her own shirt and then pants. While she was dressing herself, I hoped that she has the correct side as she refused any help. Her top was fine but her pants was wrong side (fortunately, it was not obvious). And she was watching nursery rhymes from youtube while dressing. This little girl can surely multi-task.
Kinder Nursery
Today, we went to 三町畑（さんちゅうはた）park. Yee-chan played happily on the swing. When we returned to the nursery, we bathed. Yee-chan did not cry at all and stood motionlessly. After shower, she was very happy.
Independence
After shower, I let Yee wore the diaper, shirt and pants on her own. She took her time to wear them. When she finished, this is her achievement ...
her top is reverse.

2Y1M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee
Kinder Nursery
We went o 南根（みなみね）park. We have not been there for a while. Yee-chan sat on the swing. There were many pigeons. Yee-chan said, “Pigeons” and chased them. Yee-chan likes pigeons very much.
Drawing Time
We have not drawn for a while. This evening, I was glad that I did it with Yee. While I was drawing with her, Yee pushed her little green stool to me and asked me to sit on it. Then she sat in front of me and continued to draw. I realize that she did not want me to write. I was surprised at the tactic that she used. Later, she 'taught' dancing chick to draw.

2Y1M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee
Kinder Nursery
Today, we played blocks, toys and playhouse in the room. Yee-chan likes dog toys very much. Friends passed her dogs toys and she was happy. Then she hugged Minnie doll. “Teacher, teacher,” she asked me to see.
“不要，不要！”
Yee did not want me to take video of her. She wanted me to push the sliding door for her.
Sitting on the Ball
Ballerina In The Making
Look! We have a ballerina in the making. Look at her balancing on pointed toes.
Well, Yee was trying to climb the stool. This is the first time Mummy saw her climbing a stool.

2Y1M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee
It was a beautiful sunny Sunday and we let Yee put on a dress. We did not have the camera with us, so we took photos from our mobile.
Yee tripped on the way home and found comfort in Daddy's shoulder.
We wanted to take only the shadows but Yee kept moving around. So, this is the best we could take.
We were surprised when Yee scrapped the seeds from the water-melon and then passed the water-melon to Daddy.
Reading with Daddy
Daddy placed a pillow on his lap and read. Yee took a pillow, placed it on her lap and started to read too. It is interesting to observe how fast toddler imitates adult's behavior. Another gentle reminder that we must watch our behaviors.

2Y1M (JP) - While You Are Sleeping
Mummy took the photos while Daddy and Yee were sleeping... How sweet!!!
Joining Japanese Class with Mummy and Daddy
We brought Yee to the Japanese class at the community centre to try out. Praise God! Yee was awesome during the class. She was quiet. Mummy kept her busy with tidbits which was a great treat as Mummy hardly gives her any on normal days. Praise God for answering our prayer.
