2Y9M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee
Kinder Nursery Report:
We had 豆まき (Mamemaki) (bean throwing rituals) today. There was a demon in the room. When Yee-chan saw it, she cried loudly. She was very frightened. She continued for some time even when the demon was gone.
節分（Setsubun ）
- Setsubun ("seasonal division") is a festival held on February 3 or 4, one day before the start of spring according to the Japanese lunar calendar.
- In modern days, the most commonly performed setsubun ritual is the throwing of roasted beans around one's house and at temples and shrines across the country. When throwing the beans, you are supposed to shout "Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!" ("Devils out, happiness in"). Afterwards you should pick up and eat the number of beans, which corresponds to your age.

2Y9M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee
Kinder Nursery:
We did 'サンサン体操" and "動物体操". Yee-chan sang and danced at the same time. In mid-day, we played with balls. Yee-chan put a lot of balls into her shirt.

2Y9M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee
Kinder Nursery:
We went to the Traffic Park. Yee-chan climbed up the stair of the slide. At the top of the slide, she was scared and dared not slide down. I asked her, ‘sliding?’ and slided down with her.
