Immi is a 2 year old who spends her day organizing her tiny little toys, taking walks, and playing with kitties. She won't go anywhere without her little purse. Her favorite food is cucumbers and olives. And she is obsessed with Hello Kitty and Doraemon. Take a peak into her adventures of daily life!
Happy birthday Aunt Junko! You are immi’s favorite aunt!! We just finished dinner and are about to have tea and cookies.
Immi is drinking soy-milk (not coffee!!). Immi likes her drinks much better when they come in containers that look like mine!
Immi’s hair looks wet but it’s actually really crunchy. This is because she plastered it [...]
Aunt Junko is here! They are doodling at immi’s desk. We just installed the rack for immi’s art-supplies (so that it’s out of immi’s reach for now, but easy to access, and won’t get mixed up with my less-non-toxic stuff).
Immi loves her crayons so much that she is giving them hugs.
We are waiting to for our car inspection to finish…
We keep having to go back to Ikea for few little things (not complaining, I wanted more cookies anyways!). Immi wants lots of bears!!
Immi made this doodle this morning with non-toxic (according to the box…) color pencils. She picked colors on her own from the pencil stand (she is good about putting them back in there too). According to multiple sources, I am suppose to give beginning doodlers no more than 3 colors to avoid overwhelming, but clearly [...]
Having a typical day here. Immi playing with her rocking giraffe. She figured out how to rock back and forth on it! She is wearing a skirt that I made during her naptime yesterday.
Immi is setting up her sandwich shop.
Immi cleared her desk (dropped all her books she was reading from the desk onto the [...]
Immi knows how to eat with a spoon!
I served up some cheesy mashed potato on Immi’s plate and, even though I expected her to eat it with her hand, gave her a little spoon simply because I thought it cruel to serve mushy food without utensils. To my surprise, she dipped the spoon into the [...]
Last night, with just a bit of trial&error I figured out that what immi wanted was a mug and a spoon. When immi got her plastic mug and a baby spoon, she played with them by stirring and pretending to drink from it with the spoon still in the mug. …And I thought how weird, [...]
Immi is putting on my shoes. When Immi breaks free into No-Immi Zone (entrance, hallway, kitchen), she dashes to the shoe rack and grabs my shoes, usually this particular pair. She has gotten quite good at walking in them.
Almost every week for over a year now I have been having “Me Nights” in which Todd sends me off to wherever I want to go for couple hours to relax on my own. I don’t usually have plans for this, but I try to do things that would probably make Immi a bit grumpy [...]
DOs: Pet gently!
DON’Ts: Pull on their tails!!
As you can see, Mr. Seagal isn’t running away from Immi anymore (he has been a bit shy with immi since the day he bit her months back and felt — as far as I can decipher cat emotions — remorseful about it). He is patient with immi when [...]
Immi is having cheddar bunnies for snack on top of her dad.
Happy Father’s day! …and Otosan itsumo arigato!!
Bear chairs for sale at Ikea. Immies not included: )
Immi testing the product for cuddliness. (no, we are not going to take him home.)
We are trying to have lunch at the ikea cafeteria. Immi is being temperamental because of her tooth and don’t want any food, not even mac&cheese! All she wants to do is [...]
This morning, Immi was still asleep when her dad left for work (she is usually up by then). When she woke up, she didn’t know where he had gone. She looked around for him everywhere. Then she pulled off the heap of blanket on the bed to see if he was still there! …And when [...]
We are at grandmom’s. She got for Immi an immi-size pool! She had fun in the pool while Todd and I ran an errand at Target. When we came back, she wanted to play with the pool again, but since her swim suit was still wet, she is playing in her dress.
Immi and her dad [...]
Immi and her bat sitting on the chair. She figured out how to climb in and out of this chair!
Some stuff immi learned to do recently:
1) Re-insert straw back into the tiny hole in the juice box
2) Unscrew and bottle caps and screw it back on
3) She has been able to open boxes with latches, [...]
Immi is taking an evening walk. It’s somewhat hot out still, but she doesn’t seem to mind at all.
Immi is having steamed broccoli for snack. She loves broccoli (I can tell because not much of them end up on the floor). She shreds them into really small pieces with her fingers before eating them.
I’m putting away laundry and Immi is playing dress-up. She is wearing my shirt which is perfect size for her as an evening dress!
Princess Immi and her mess.
Resting for a bit.
Immi is making soup. It has corn, tomato, cucumber, and mustard green (mustard green!! I had to look it up, I had no idea what it was…). You know, it doesn’t sound so bad — it’s would be a nice gazpacho recipe for hot summer days?
Every great chef tastes her creations (I don’t, but I [...]
