Noa’s Diary #6: My invention

IMG_2989

IMG_2984今日はぼくの大発明を紹介しまちゅ。ママがティッシュの空き箱を2つくれたので、ティッシュ箱シューズを作ってはいてみまちた。とってもおもちろいでちゅ。でもすぐにこわれてしまったので、1日しか遊べませんでちた。残念。

Today I will tell you about my invention. Mommy gave me 2 empty tissue boxes, so I made tissue box shoes. I am so funny (ed: and clever). They broke too soon and I was only able to play with them for one day.

Noa’s Diary #4: I’m Stuck!

最近よくバケツやバスケットに入って遊んでるんだけど、今日はバケツから出られなくなってしまって泣いちゃいまちた。ママは「自分が悪いんでしょ?」なんて言うけど、僕は悲しかったから大泣きしてやりまちた。

I like climbing in my buckets and baskets. But today I climbed in my bucket and couldn’t get out. I cried a lot. Mommy said it was my fault, but I cried a lot so she knew how sad I was!!

Noa’s Diary #3: My favourite thing

今日は、最近のマイブームを教えちゃう。そ・れ・は・・・・・物を首にはさむこと!こ~んなふうに、いろんなものを首にはさむと楽しいんだ。一番の得意技はくつしたで、ほかには小さい絵本とかタオルとかおもちゃなんかもはさめるんだ。これ、楽しいよ。みんなもやってみてくだちゃい。

Today I will tell you my favourite thing. My favourite thing is….. to put stuff under my chin! I can hold many things with my chin. It is really fun. I put socks under my chin all the time, but I can also put other things like books, towels, and toys!! You should try.

でも…あんぱんまnをはさむのははずかしかった。

Putting anpanman under my chin isn’t so fun.

Noa’s Diary #2: I have a cold!

IMG_2967

東京に帰る日からかぜをひいてしまい、もう3回も病院に行ってきまちた。おねつが高いとママがおでこに「熱冷まシート」 を貼ってくれまちゅ。

ママは「熱冷まシートは大発明だ!」って熱弁をふるうけど、そうかなぁ?

みんなはどう思いまちゅか?

Since I came back to Tokyo, I’ve had a cold. I went to the doctor 3 times!!

Mommy puts a cold sheet on my face. She things they are great, but I don’t know. What do yo think?

Noa’s Diary #1: my diary by Noa

IMG_2959IMG_2990

今日は、自分で日記をかいてみることにしました。ぼくはもう1さい2かげちゅ。

こ~んなことができるようになりまちた。ママはぼくのことを「やんちゃ坊主」って呼ぶけど、

本当はもっともっとすごいこともできるんだぞぉ。

My diary

Today I decided to write my own diary. Now I am 1 year and 2 months old. I can do new things! Mommy calls me a troublemaker, but I can be much worse!!

Noa’s (second?) Haircut … and stuff

So Rumi-chan in Tanegashima gave Noa a nice haircut (this was about 2 weeks ago). Look how cool he looks:

and the process

see how happy he is?

and the before shots: (this was us in Kiko’s house!)

you can almost see dagger, dagger 2 (aka twin dagger), tooth, misty, and the newly emerging “sean”.
off to sleep for me…

Noa has been cut off!

That’s right…

Noa has now officially been weened off of the ever exciting breast milk and is now finally getting to sleep by himself.

It was a rough beginning. After two days of hour long crying sessions the third night went something like this:

  1. We lay Noa down (5 seconds)
  2. He got up
  3. Walks around (10 seconds)
  4. Sits down and cries (long time)
  5. Cries (long time)
  6. Gets up
  7. Repeat

and then out of nowhere he gets up and drapes himself over Kiko … and goes to sleep. In a second. LITERALLY 1 SECOND. I thought he was just playing … but no. asleep.

We were operating under the assumption that he tired himself out so much crying that he just crashed.

New Years in Tanegashima

… 2007 in Tokyo! Welcome.

We were off to the beautiful island of Tanegashima again for New Years this year. I thought I had already posted this, but I guess not!

At any rate, we got to see Kiko’s family, and Noa got to play with his 3 cousins, Hina, Kana and Shuichiro. (aka his lover).

We also celebrated … something … I forget the name, but they put a heavy load on Noa’s back and made him step on rice. Um… ok..? weird.
