8/31/2015 - Julian's 1st day in school (2nd year preschool)

Julian started his 2nd year in preschool with new uniform today. Juju asked "Mama, Make my hair like Bruce Wayne, Please~!" LOL
He was well dressed up and very excited to see all his friend at school. Mama wanted to take good photos, but it's very hard to make 4 years-old active boy to stand straight with a smile, and no-move!!

 

One more shot at school gate as well :)

6/22/2015 - Summer School

Julian's first day at Summer School. 

ジュジュ短い夏休みが終わって、今日からサマースクール始まりました。

12/18/2014 - Julian's last day of school 2014

Julian's last day of school 2014. He has learned a lot of new songs in both Japanese and English, made many art works, practiced writing ABC, あいうえお, learned speaking English & Japanese and made many good friends! Great job Juju!

7/10/2014 - Juju went to preschool without diaper

Juju wanted to go to preschool without wearing diaper today. He said "I want small pants!" (Which means he wants to wear underwear not diaper) And he said "I want big pants too!" (Big pants mean his normal pants :)

Anyway, he left to preschool without wearing diaper at 1st time. Dada brought many extra pants and underwears with him just in case :) I wonder how he is doing at school .....

ジュジュ、今朝はディディと電話して調子付いのか、卵焼き食べて、オシッコして、small pants (ダイパーじゃなくてアンダーウェアのことをジュジュはそう呼びます)とビッグパンツ(アンダーウェアのパンツじゃなくて、ズボンのことをジュジュはそう呼びます)履いてプレスクール行くて言って…。今日は、ダイパー履かずにプレスクールに行ったけど…(着替えのsmall pants とbig pantsいっぱい持たせたけれど…) 大丈夫かなぁ？

プレスクールから帰って来たジュジュ。I'm ペコペコと言ってます。

I guess teacher changed his underwear to pull-ups when she helped him to go to bathroom :) Anyway, Juju came back wearing the same pants from the morning. He is improving little by little :)

結局プリスクールでプルアップダイパーに履き替えてさせてもらったようですが、とにかく失敗なく朝と同じパンツ(ズボン)で帰って来ました。チョットずつ前進です。

6/26/2014 - UWABAKI room shoes

Chisa  Hasegawa

プレスクールの先生に自分で脱ぎ着のしやすい上履きを持って来て下さいとダメ出しをもらった西松屋シューズ。(T ^ T)

探しましたが、結局、日本定番のバレリーナシューズ風の上履きはこっちじゃ売ってない…でも何故かクラスメート数人は普通に定番上履き履いている‼︎

脱ぎ着のしやすさ重視で大き目って言っても、サイズUS11しか売ってなかった赤い靴はやっぱりブカブカ 

(＞人＜;) 大き過ぎ〜！たかが上靴、されど上靴！難しい〜！

安くて、軽くて、柔らかくて、脱ぎ着のしやすいってなかな無いのよー！

日本定番は諦めて、いっそ、思いっきりアメリカンなシューズにしてみたよ。これは、軽いし安いし、少し大き目のUS9ありました！ ジュジュ自分で脱ぎ着出来ます！ オールドネービー万歳！

Julian needed a pair of room shoes for preschool.  In Japan, kids have different shoes for inside and outside of school. Julian's Japanese/ English bilingual preschool requires kids to bring a pair of inside (room) shoes (UWABKI 上履き) too. It was hard to find a pair of shoes which is reasonable price, easy to wear & take off, light weight, soft material, and comfortable to wear everyday in the classroom....

Where I found it? Of course! Old Navy! Kim Sajnog

6/23/2014 - A Little Present for Julian's 1st day of Preschool

In America, there are big celebrations for Graduations, but not so much for starting new schools. In Japan we have graduation ceremonies & ceremonies for entering new schools! Also, kids receives gifts from family for entering new schools. Mommy wants to do just a little Japanese thing for Julian's 1st school celebration :) Juju and Mommy had Ice-cream date at Baskin Bobbins after 1st day of preschool today. And present was Toy Story Lego figures!! 

Happy 1st day of preschool Juju!!! 

ママからのジュリアンのプレスクール入園祝い。こっちじゃ、卒業式は盛大にお祝いしますが、入園入学は、式もお祝いもありません。それじゃぁさみしいので、チョコっとお祝い！

バスケットロビンスでアイスクリームを食べました。プレゼントは、トイストーリーのレゴフィギュア。

ジュジュ入園おめでとう！
