First Snow

A few days ago we went to Hakone near Mount Fuji. The weather was perfect and Sasha got to experience his first snow.

Queuing

Sasha has learned queuing from school. However, the wait time for queuing at school is less than a minute or two. This time Sasha has to queue for a while and many of the kids were older than him, ranging from 3 years old to 7 years old. I thought Sasha did a good job waiting in line patiently.

Zoo

It was a sunny day on Sunday so we took Sasha to the zoo in Ueno. Ueno zoo has a petting zoo which is called "The Children's Zoo" on its West park. Sasha was very excited to be able to pet different animals in the Children's Zoo. First he pet different kind of goats, then a sheep and he was allowed to hold a big chicken. Sasha had so much fun. Especially when the chicken got away and the children there, including Sasha, started to try to catch it. There was a long line to hold small animals like rabbit and hamster so we just passed it.

Anpanman Museum

Sasha loves Anpanman. And from early on he collects anything of Anpanman character. So while we are in Japan, we decided to take Sasha to the Anpanman Children's Museum in Yokohama. Shichida method teaches the importance of giving a "wow" feeling to a child. Sasha was definitely wowed the whole time he was at the museum.

Tokyo

Tokyo's weather is much colder than the last time Sasha was here. Yet he is enjoying his time and experiencing his first winter with no problems. Since we walk a lot, Sasha likes to stop by and look at every window display in the store. He even pays attention to the jumbo size advertisements scattered around the train station. Sasha's favorite so far is this one ad that features a smiling old man holding a bottled tea.

Wednesday

Sasha has a Shichida lesson every Wednesday. Lately, Sasha is very picky when he is in the class. For example, he only wants to do memory game the way he likes it and does not want to follow his instructor. However, today he was completely focused and did all the exercises very well. Sasha clearly enjoyed the class in fact all of his classmates also did well. I must admit the class was full of positive energy. Even I as an adult felt the positive energy let alone the children as they are naturally more sensitive to this energy.
