+42W 0D おじいちゃん Grandad

Arata


とにかくおじいちゃんにべったり。おじいちゃんが仕事から帰って来ると、アラタは狂喜乱舞。これが、おばあちゃんだと全然ダメ。おばあちゃんには、生後すぐにあんなにお世話になったのにねえ・・・。仕事と趣味でほとんど家にいないおばあちゃんと、仕事の途中にもちょこっと家に寄るおじいちゃんでは、おじいちゃんに軍配が上がったか。おばあちゃんは名誉挽回に必死だ。


Jasonがいない毎日に、男性の代わりを探しているのかなあとも思う。先週弟が遊びに来た時も、じーっと(パパかなって?)見ていたし、スタバあたりでPCを開きながらコーヒーを飲んでいる男性を、やはり凝視しているから。この写真は、おじいちゃんの足にまとわりつくアラタ。


Arata is so clingy to.... to... grandad. When my dad comes home, Arata crawls very fast to him with excitment. It's not like this when my mum comes home. She came to look after Arata just after his birth but apparently Arata can't remember that. My mum is barely at home, she is too busy at work and her hobbies, while my dad even pops in during work to see Arata. My dad is leading the 'race' and mum tries hard to take the first position back!


I often think Arata may be looking for an alternative father figure while Jason is not around. When my brother was here, Arata was staring at him for a long time. At a cafe, Arata can not take off his eyes from a young man having coffee working on a PC. This photo is Arata holding onto grandad's leg.
