6Y8M 4Y10M ケダのウオーターパーク Water park in Kedah

ハリラヤウイークでJasonも今日まで休み。

今日はウオーターパーク、Carnivalへ行った。ローカル向けの公園なのとケダ州という立地から、マレー系の利用客が多かった。

みんなが水着を着ているとは限らず、Tシャツに短パンとかで入っている人も多かったのが、マレーシアっぽくて面白い。

さて、最近のアラタで成長を感じること。やりたいと思うことがあったら一人でもできるようになったこと。

ちょっと前までは「ママ、ママ来て～」だったが、今日のスライドでも、私が2台のうち急な方は怖くて行けないと言うと、タカラと交代でJasonとすべることにして、自分が一人の間は、もう一台の滑り台をひとりですべりにいった。急な階段を大きな浮き輪を抱えてたくさん上らなければならないのに。

兆しを感じたのはブルネイで。どうしてもキッズクラブ主催のクラフトクラスに出たかったアラタは、一人で参加した。タカラ、私、Jasonと街へランチを食べに行くという選択肢もあったのに。

Jason is still off work due to Hari Raya and Merdika. We decided to go to the Carnival, a water park in Kedah.

Because of the location, the visitors are mainly Malay. They not necessarily wear swim-suits. Lots of them were in the water in T-shirt and shorts! It's very Malaysian!

Arata has started to be more independent. He's started to do something he wants by himself. He used to ask for me, all the time, and if I told him to go on his own, he often gave up doing it.

For example, I didn't feel like going down one of the big slides, because it was too steep. Aratakara decided to take turn to go with Jason. While Arata is waiting, he decided to go on his own, without me!, to the less difficult slide.

I noticed this when we were in Brunei. Arata wanted to attend one of the craft classes at the Kids club. He decided to go by himself, without Takara's company, although he had a choice to come with us to the town to have lunch.
