新しい遊び場/New Play Area

今のマディソンはまだ一人で長い時間遊んだり、ママの言う事を聞く事ができないけど、ずりばい/ハイハイで何処にでも行きたい年なので新しい遊び場を台所に作ってあげる事にしました。これで、ママがご飯作ったり洗い物をしている時も一緒に居られるね：）先週末に見つけた冷蔵庫にマグネットでくっ付くおもちゃを買って良かった〜！これは、冷蔵庫農場って名前で５匹動物がいるんだけど後ろと前と分かれているからいろんな組み合わせが出来るんです。そして、組み合わせを作る度に歌を歌ってくれるという面白いおもちゃ：）一組作ってビデオに撮ってみました。
Since Madison is at an age where she knows when I'm not around her and can't quite follow my instruction to occupy herself and has an ability to get scoot/crawl to places, I came up with a brilliant idea of creating a play area in the kitchen so we never have to be apart!(JK!) Well, she did so well and the toy I picked up at Target came in so handy! It's called "Fridge Farm" and it kind of reminds me of songs from Stew's and it has 5 different farm animals but each animal is split into two(front & back part) so you can mix and match different animals and put them in the slot in the barn, then it will sing a song depending on which animal's part is front and back! It may be a bit confusing so I filmed one option animal I can create:-)

さてここから今日の出来事です。今日はまず最初に郵便局に行って日本の家族に荷物を送った後銀行へ、そしてその後パネラまでお昼のベーグルとコーヒーを食べに：）マディソンはバガブーでお昼寝をしてくれたのでママは少しゆっくりする事が出来ました！そして家でいつでも食べれるように余分にベーグルを買って冷凍するという良い考えを思い付きました。日本の家族まで何とか美味しいパネラのパンを送れれば良いんだけどね〜！
So this cool play area creation happened last night and today we had some errands to run like post office, bank, and Panera Bread for lunch... I started to buy a dozen of bagels at a time so that I can freeze most of them and toast & enjoy as I feel like! It's another brilliant idea of mine especially when it's so cold out and don't want to make so many trips going there every time I'm craving Panera's bagels. Now I can enjoy their bagel anywhere(my home) and anytime(before 10pm):-)
