I may or may not use the term “Nice!” emphatically when something good happens.

Noa seems to have picked this up. Everytime something good happens he will scream “nice.”

Yesterday I was telling him that he would be having a baby sister soon… “nice”

After that I said, ok, time for a bath…. “nice”

Then he told me I was a “very good boy.”

Nice.

and yes this is filler. may or may not be a test. depends if you can see it!

t-1 day for new baby!

Noa’s favourite TV show, by far, is Dora the Explorer.

He loves it. He sings all the songs, he repeats phrases “swiper no swiping!” and he now loves to go outside so he can go to the mountains, rivers and bridges.

Before bed, we now have to read him stuff from Dora’s book. On the back flap there are pictures of other Nick. Jr characters. Noa points them all out and says “cat” (for the act) “dora” (for dora) “diego” (for dora’s cousin). And then he gets to this character:

Noa loves this character, Little Bill, and gets very excited whenever we see his character goods. Big problem, everytime he sees him he points and says

“monkey”

!!! 🙁

I tell him, no, Noa, this is a little boy.

“Monkey boy!”….

…. we have some work to do.

in Ikebukuro. You cant see very well, but there is just a ridiculous number of vending machines outside this building.

How was my day today?

Kiko wrote me an e-mail which basically said “Noa locked me out of the house while I was putting up Halloween decorations, played knock-knock with me, and then let me in.”

This morning I woke up to Noa saying: “I hate you Daddy… maybe” “Or maybe I don’t… maybe.” “Nope, I hate you!” and went to sleep with “Daddy, I farted. But, Daddy I farted.” To which Kiko responded “Did anything come out?”. And Noa replied, “No, but I farted.”

My son is a genius. I am just not sure whether to be happy or sad.

He likes toys and tofu. He’s like Noa’s best friend.
