Dear N,
When you were born, you turned Erik into a daddy and Yvette into a mommy, thank you so much. We love you. Happy Birthday Little Mochi Prince!

Today, my bento was Green Chana, Inari sushi, cucumber stix, baby kiwi and first bento strawberries of 2011.

Snack (not shown) was half navel orange, baby kiwi, strawberries, cucumber stix. Just fresh and light to tide me over till lunch.

After school snack (this only happens when I have a class or sport after school): small Turkey sandwich, more strawberries, chocolate almond mila shake.

thanks mom!

"When I was little do you want to know what I used to think?

That little bugs would come out (from the cd) and play instruments and when the cd came out (ejected) the bugs would go back in"

Spring is here!

Yesterday, after school, it was a really warm, sunny day, I lifted my shirt and said "Piko, piko, piko!" *

All my friends started saying it too, "piko, piko, piko"

Then, we just took off our shirts. We took off our shoes and socks. The sand felt good between my toes.

I gathered everyone into a circle and we gave the cheer:

"One. Two. Three. Piko Guys!!!"

* Piko means bellybutton in Hawaiian.

Here's me at bat today at baseball practice. It was our team's third practice, our first game is this Saturday. I can't wait.

On Saturday, we went to Celebrity Dairy's Open Barn to visit all the baby goats. This one who's name might be Fluffy, was just 5 days old! He was so soft and cute and cuddly.

"There is a special kind of blue lint, when you put it in your mouth, it grows into blueberries. And then you can eat them."

I love them.

"What if a dog, because he didn't know how to talk, sang a song called Roof.

Roof Roof Roof Roof
Roof Roof Roof Roof
Roof Roof Roof Roof Roof"
