An older woman ???

Picked up JJ from school. Talking on our way back home. JJ said - A lot of people love me at school. I don't know what to do. A girl from 3rd grade said she loved me today.
Dad asked - who was that girl?
JJ replied - I don't know her but she is the sister of one of the girls in my first grade class

When JJ sees people kiss, his thing reacts!!!

We were having dinner tonight. He asked me why people kiss on the lips. Answer - when two people love each other, they kiss on the lips to show their affection.

Then, JJ dropped the bombshell!

He said - when I watch people kiss on the lips (like on TV), my wenis (wennie/pennis) gets bigger!! OMG, is this for real? He assured me that he wasn't not kidding.

Gee, he's only 6!

Our 6 yr old swimmer

JJ started swim lessons during summer camp at Pinecrest. Took about 3 wks of lessons. Got to a point where he could swim free style for about 7-8 meters. He became quite comfy in water and could dive around and played under water.

Went to Niigata for our summer vac. JJ went to nearby (3 min walk from grandma's) swim school for a week. The teacher (Kato sensei) was wonderful but quite cute!
Anyway, they were great. At the end of the week, they had a test on Fri. JJ swam non-stop for 20meters! WOw, that's amazing. Surpassed my expectation by almost 10 meters! I was beyond proud!

Next step back in US is to keep his swimming consistent. He couldn't do 20M in the pacific palisades pool when we first got back. Been going everyday. He can now do about 13m nonstop after 5 days. He loves to swim which is great.
Pincrest lost Coach Fasma and hence the swim program for PE is gone too. Too bad. Trying to see how we can get him some swim lessons now.

6 yr old son's regular entree at restaurant

On our way to the airport. For some reasons, the topic of restaurant came up. JJ said from the back " It's not the restaurant that I have my regular puffed fish (fugu) with the spikes". "What!!" said the parents.
JJ - oh, I was just kidding.
But, where did you get that puffed fish thing, man???

Student of the Year

Mum and dad attended the award ceremony on the 2nd last day of school for the year. Everyone got an award and JJ was the last one called. Guess they saved the best for last for it was the "student of the year' award. Wow, what a day!
He had received 2 "student of the quarter" awards and other subject awards. Always got great feedback from all the teachers.

He has really blossomed and became more participative in class discussions. He is an amazing kid. Every where he goes, he does well.

Piano teacher loves him, Taekwondo instructors complements him, Japanese teacher praises and of course his Pinecrest teachers. Man, I truly feel I am the luckiest dad on earth!!!

THANK YOU, JJ!!!

Destiny

JJ woke up last Fri -the first day of his summer vacation and said "I don't like going to school for a long time but it's my destiny".

Where did u learn about destiny? dad asked. "Karate Kid" was the reply. He wasn't dsure about the meaning of destiny but somehow it was used correctly contextually.

sushiya must speak japanese

jj really wanted to eat sushi tonight. Went to Studio city but quite a few sushiyas were closed on sun. Can we go to one that is not run by japanese? to which he replied - >"a japanese restaurant that doesn't speak japanese is kind of weird"
Oh well!
