My Future's So Bright.../マディソンの眩い将来...

Today we received our shipment from One Step Ahead, a baby supply store that had our UV Tent at almost half the price of the store we looked at in Long Island. If you spent a certain amount you also got free shipping so of course we took advantage of that!! I actually did all the shopping one night while Anna slept and I do say I did a pretty good job...I got these cool puzzle pieces where one half is a texture or color and the other is an item that has that texture or color...for instance Madison can feel the rabbit with its fuzzy fur and then match it to the fuzzy puzzle piece...I also got activity cards that give simple things to do with your baby from age 0-12 months...the first card said to take a House Tour where you just go around the house and explain what you are doing...for instance I am opening the basement door...now I am closing the basement door...apparently she is supposed to find that stuff interesting. Then I heard my nephews are really into popsicles right now so I got two things called Drip Cups that the ice cream cone or popsicle sits in and then it catches all the drips...so hopefully they will enjoy those...lastly (besides the tent) were the super cool sunglasses you see above...actually I just needed an item to take me just over the free shipping cutoff and these fit the bill. The above picture was sent to Anna at work...she was not a fan. She said they looked huge on her and she is not a fan of the mirrored, ski goggle look.

今日、ワンステップアヘッドというお店から注文したマディソン用の海に行った時に使えるテントが着ました：）その他にもカルタみたいな片方に動物の絵が書いてあったりしてそのもう片方はその動物を触った感触が書いてあるというマディソンが遊んで勉強できるゲームも買ったのです。あっ、もう一つはマディソンとする事のアイデアがいっぱい書いてある本。早速デイヴがアイデアの一つを使って家の中で歩き回ってマディソンにいろいろ見せてあげてました。戸を開けたり閉めたりしながらやってることを言ってあげると赤ちゃんが興味を示すんだって。そうそうもう一つ買った物があった：）合計金額が８５ドルを超えると送金料がただになるからその値段を少し超えるために買ったマディソンのサングラス！デイヴがアンナの携帯に写真送ってくれたんだけど、アンナはこういう鏡みたいなサングラス好きじゃないんだけどねー。
Then when Anna got home she put the glasses on the top of Madison's head and liked it much more. She also thought the glasses looked cuter in person then in the picture I sent.
でも、アンナが家に帰った後サングラスをおでこにのせたら何だ可愛いじゃん！やっぱ写真より自分の目で見た方が全然いい！

Today was Wednesday, which meant it was back to the gym for Madison and I. Today Madison was a little more awake so she got to see basketball being played for the first time...unfortunately that meant Daddy didn't get to play any, but Madison enjoyed making laps around the gym in her Bugaboo as she still slept most of the time away...well Anna is done cutting the watermelon and it is a juicy red one...so I am done blogging!!
今日は水曜日、水曜日と言えば体育館に行く日：）今日のマディソンはいつもより目が覚めてたからバスケを見る事ができました。どの代わりにパパはバスケの代わりにお子守りをしなきゃいけなかったんだけど...　体育館の中でバガブーに乗って歩き回りながらお昼ね。美味しそうなスイカをアンナが切ってくれてるから今日はこれで終わり！
