+20W 4D 立ちたがり I want to stand up!



きょうはToshさん一家が遊びに来た。リオンくんはもう6歳で、しばらく会わないうちにすっかり「少年」らしくなった。赤ちゃんだったレナちゃんは3歳だから、ちょうど私と弟の年の差。アラタに比べたらすっかりおねえさん。二人ともいい子に育っていてうらやましい。私達にも、しつけをしっかりとできるかしら。誕生祝に靴をいただいた。アラタは何足か靴「らしい」ものを持っているが、どれも靴と靴下の中間のようなブーティーだから、本物のちっちゃい靴をみて感激。これを履いて歩けるようになるのはいつかしら。


アラタは寝返りは全くできないけど、最近とにかく立ちたがる。歩けるようになって、走れるようになって、キャッチボールができる日が待ち遠しい。


Tosh's family came to visit us. His son Rion is 6 years old. He doesn't look a small child any longer and has already grown into a 'boy'! When we saw Rena last time, she was just a baby but she is now 3 years old. It's interesting to see that the age gap between Arata and Rena is exactly same as my brother and me. Both Rion and Rena are really good children. They behave very well. I hope we will also be able to discipline Arata as Tosh and Satomi have done to them. Tosh and Satomi gave Arata a pair of tiny shoes. He's had a couple of booties but never had a proper pair of shoes before. I am now looking forward to seeing Arata walking in them. Maybe, not so far because he always insists on standing up!
