2Y11M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee

Kinder Nursery Report:
Yee-chan is attending くま(bear) class from today. Please enjoy your time with us until you leave Japan. We had recreation today (every Thursday, we have race or games, activities that use the body. So please put on shoes so that she can run and move well). When we did stretching before we get started, Yee-chan was curious and looked around at other kids. But later she enjoyed running race as she is good at it.
Tricycle Affair
Mummy has been bringing the tricycle to fetch Yee for .... many months.

Yee's friends are promoted to a upper class and they are using a different room. She seems sad to see them playing together without her. She stood outside the room for a long time.

Yee preferes to push the tricycle these days, instead of sitting on it.

2Y11M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee

Kinder Nursery Report:
Today is Yee’s last day in Rabbit Group. In this past year, Yee has become a big sister. She is speaking Japanese well. She enjoyed herself and played a lot. Thank you for this whole year. Please take care.
Way Home
Yee played under our apartment. She ran to the big drain lid and said, "This has no fish" and then ran to the smaller drain lid and said, "This has fish". She did this repetitively.
Then she turned to Mummy and said, "play fish".
Mummy replied, "ok."
Yee repeated, "play fish" a few more times.
Finally, Mummy understood Yee and said, "Sure, Koh Yee wants to pray for the fish. Please go ahead". Yee put her hands together and prayed, "Dear God, thank you for the fish (Mummy was thinking is she going to say grace). Bless the fish. Jesus name we pray, amen."
