どもども。
Hi there!
皆様、いかがお過ごしでしょうか？
How's your day going today?
さて、今日は日本旅行記第18弾でございます。
So, this is vol.18 of the Japan trip diaries.
日本滞在日数もあと1週間ほどになった10月中旬のこの日、親友あきさんのお家にまた遊びに行かせてもらいました。
In the middle of October when it's about a week before May-chan and I were going to leave Japan, May-chan and I visited my best friend, Aki, again.
本当はこの1週間くらい前に予定していたんですが、あきさんの長女さっちゃんが風邪気味だったので延期する事になったんです。
Aki and I were actually planning to meet up about a week before originally, but we decided to postpone it since her oldest daughter, Sat-chan, was sick a little bit.
この日は平日だったんですが、あきさんの長女、さっちゃんは運動会後の振替休日との事で、ゆっくり家で一緒に遊ぶ事ができました。
It was on a week day, but Sat-chan didn't have kinder since they had a sports festival on the weekend before, which gave us plenty of time to play togehter.
この日はいっぱい一緒に遊べるという事で、さっちゃん楽しみにしていてくれたそうです。
Aki said that Sat-chan was so excited to have the play date.
さっちゃん、めいと遊ぶのをすごく楽しみにしていてくれただけあって、本当に優しいお姉ちゃんでめいの面倒をいっぱいみてくれました。
Aki's right. Sat-chan was such a sweet and kind big sister for May-chan.
めいに色んなオモチャを見せて遊び方を教えてくれたり。。。
She showed bunch of different fun toys to May-chan...,
めいにいっぱい話しかけてくれたり。。。
she talked to May-chan a lot and tried to understand what May-chan was thinking too.
この時少し歩きかけていためいは、この歩行器に入れてもらって嬉しそう。
May-chan at the time was almost starting to walk, so this walker made her so happy.
さっちゃん、運動会で発表した「パプリカ」を歌って踊って見せてくれたんですが、とっても上手で可愛いかった！
Sat-chan entertained us by her cute dance which she performed at the sports festival too.
もちろん、あきさんの次女ななちゃんも一緒で、まだお姉ちゃんたちが遊ぶのを見てるだけですが嬉しそう。
Of course, Aki's 2nd daughter, Nana-chan, was with us and seemed to have much fun to watch the 2 big girls playing though she couldn't do much with them yet.
この日もあきさんがランチを用意してくれていて、近所のパン屋さんで買ってきてくれた美味しいパンを頂きました。
Aki's always great and kindly got us some delicious bread for our luch at a local bakery on the day too.
あきさんも大変なのに、「買い物に行くから、めいちゃんの為に要る物があったら一緒に買っておくよ～。」と言ってくれたので、お言葉に甘えてヨーグルトやパンを買ってもらいました。
（それなのに、めいはあんまり食べなかったのよねぇ。）
Without a doubt, I can tell that Aki's also a super busy mom too, but she generously told me, "I'm gonna go grocery shopping tomorrow, so tell me whatever you want me to get for May-chan or anything." So, I asked to get some yogurt and bread for May-chan too. (Though, May-chan didn't eat them much. Grrr!)
あきさん、ランチの後のおやつにこんな可愛いケーキまで買っておいてくれました。日本のケーキは見た目が可愛いだけじゃなくて、味も美味しかった！
Besides thet nice lunch, Aki also got some pretty cake for our snack time too! The lovely Japanese cake was not only cute but also yummy!
そしてこの日、あきさんが次女のななちゃんに初離乳食をあげてみるという事で。。。
On the day, Aki wanted to try to give Nana-chan her first baby food (rice porridge), so...
Hit-chan、この記念すべき瞬間を無事写真に収める事に成功！
I tried to capture the memorable moment in my picture!
この時も、お姉ちゃんのさっちゃんがななちゃんの口にスプーンを運んで食べさせてあげていました。（優しい～！）
Again, Sat-chan was a big helper and carrying the spoon to her littl sister's mouth very gently. (Aww!!)
初めての離乳食でしたが、ななちゃん、特に嫌がらずにお粥を上手に食べておりました。
It was the very first time for Nana-chan to try something other than mommy's milk, but she seemed to like it.
しばらくしたら、めい、人ん家のリビングの真ん中で爆睡。(笑) いっぱい遊んでもらって疲れたんでしょね。
After a while, May-chan fell asleep in the center of the living room like this. LOL
今がチャンスだという事で、さっちゃん、ななちゃん、めいで記念撮影。めいは寝てますが。(笑)
I thought that it was a perfect chance to take a picture of all the lovely girls together, so I got this. I know May-chan was sleeping though. Haha.
こんな感じで、この日は本当に満足いくまであきさんのお家で遊ばせてもらいました。
This is how May-chan and I had a great time at Aki's house.
正直言うと、滞在中にもっともっと頻繁に遊びに来たかったんですが、さっちゃんの体調やお天気の事もあって、結局今回の帰国では２回だけになっちゃいました。
To be hoenst with you, I wanted to visit them more frequently during the stay, but due to Sat-chan's condition or the weather situation, we ended up being able to have a play date only twice.
帰る度にいつも喜んで迎えてくれるあきさんには本当に感謝しており、遠くに住んでいるので中々お手伝いに行けなかったりするのが辛い所ですが、こうやって今回も皆元気に会う事ができて本当に良かったです。
Though, the 2 precious times with Aki and her lovely girls were enough to remind me that I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful friend in my life. She always welcomes me and loves to enjoy doing things with me whenever I come back to the home country. It's too bad that I can't easily come to help her when she needs a help, but it's still great that all of us were doing well and could have such fun play dates this time again.
という訳で、今日はこの辺で～！！！
Okay, this is all for today. Thanks for reading again!!!
