Learning!


Takafumi has taken a great interest in "learning". He wants to be able to read and write. He is always requesting that I take his hand and write words. We do some pre-writing workbooks together. He also pretends to read "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?"
Whenever his dad and I are reading or working he comes and asks us "benkyou?" or "what are you doing mommy? Are you reading?". He says he is going to work if he goes to houikuen. He is requesting a lot these days to watch "Anpanman", his favorite character is Baikin man (the villain) and he always mimics baikinman`s voice and behaviour. The problem with this is, the other children do not understand what he is doing and take the voice he is using as a threat. He has gotten into actual fights because of this. Because it invokes anger in so many children (especially boys) I have asked Taka if it is okay that we only do Baikin man impressions at home.
