Introduction to Basketball／バスケの紹介

Yesterday, Madison saw where Daddy spends a lot of his time during the work year...sort of. We had a quick feeding on the bleachers and then she was out for almost the entire two hours that we were at the gym. She even slept well enough to allow me to get in there and play a game with my guys...my principal (also a new father) was quite jealous...he kept going over to Madison's stroller and just shaking his head that she could sleep through all the noise in the gym...see it does pay to live on a street that is a fire truck alley!!
昨日パパの仕事場 (高校)にマディソンを初めて連れて行きました。体育館でミルクを飲んでその後約２時間の遊び時間の間お昼寝をしてくれました。ぐっすり寝ているマディソンのおかげでパパも生徒と一緒にバスケをする事ができました。やったー！お父さんになったばかりの校長先生はマディソンがうるさい体育館の中でぐっすり眠っているのを見て信じられない顔をしてばかり...家の前騒音多いから慣れてるんだろーな：）

I guess I should have seen the signs when she was yawning right before we left for the gym...then I learned just how many red lights are in Brooklyn as at each one Madison would scream her lungs out and then stop as we moved and then scream again and there is a lot of red lights on our trip between our house and the school...it was not fun, but I do think it wore her out even more :-)
家を出る前にアクビをいっぱいしていたマディソン、そしてブルックリンまでいくつ赤信号があるか発見させられることに...毎回止まるために大泣きそしてまた動くと泣き止むの繰り返し...こんなに赤信号があるなんて知らなかったー！
Here is her introduction to basketball...I think she is dreaming of slam dunking on her daddy!!
バスケを紹介、パパの頭にダンクするのを夢見ているのかな！？

This morning I re-taped Madison on her playmat showing off her neck strength...it is not as impressive as the five minute version that wouldn't download, but you still get the idea...the girl is a fighter :-) and if you listen closely you can here Ellie crying when she hears Madison struggling...such a good sister!
今朝、マディソンの首の筋トレの様子をビデオに撮ってみました。がんばり屋さんでしょ？耳をさまして聞くとマディソンが唸っている後ろでエリーが泣いてる声が！本当にいいお姉さんです：）
