今朝マディソンを連れて引っ越しように使えるダンボールを何軒かのお店まで貰いに行く為に準備をしていた時の事です。ふと、真下でエリーとココの洋服棚をあさっていたマディソンを見ると、何とスウェディッシュフィッシュっていうデイブの大好きな赤い魚の形をしたグミがマディソンの口からはみ出しているのを発見...ずーっと前にいつも一気に食べ過ぎるデイブから隠そうとエリー達の洋服棚に入れてあったのをすっかり忘れてました！慌てて取り上げたけど甘くて美味しかったのかちょっとニヤってしていたからもう手遅れかもしれない...パパのようにこの変な虫歯の元のグミにはまらなければいいんだけど...困った、困った...
This morning I was getting ready to go to Bed, Bath & Beyond with Madison to pick up some empty boxes, when I looked down from my little make up stand I saw Madison sitting on the floor on between my legs and tasting her first Swedish Fish... Yup, she did it! She found an opened bag of Swedish Fish that I hid a while ago(and forgot about) in order to stop Dave from eating too much at once inside Bean's Closet Shelf... The Big Fishy didn't stay in her mouth too long but she definitely got the taste of it! I just hope she won't turn out to be a Swedisaholic like her Daddy...
入れちゃいけないのに口に入っていたと言えば、先週もう一つあったなー。デイブの学校の野球試合を見にレッドフックって言う所に行った時、のんびりと家族３人で敷物に座って野球観戦中、ふと静かにしていたマディソンを見るとおやつにと家から持って来た手作りのクッキーが入ったジップロックの袋を嬉しそうに丸ごと齧り中...よく見ると袋の中が何となく濡れてる！？うそっ！穴空けて実はクッキー食べてるんじゃん！慌てて取り上げたけど、卵が入っているからあと一ヶ月待っててくれたら良かったのに...でもアレルギーとか全然出なかったからちょっと安心：）
Oh talking about getting hands on inappropriate things, it happened when we were at Dave's school's baseball game last week in Red Hook(where IKEA is). We were enjoying the game on a blanket and Madison was behaving well while playing with a bag of cookies I brought from home... Well, her pretty baby teeth had made a nice size hole at some point while she was chewing the bag so she was secretly getting bits of cookies into her mouth!! Now that's why she was quiet and happy... Yeah cookies are yummy but she didn't have to know that yet... at least another month or so. I was worried because I put eggs in the cookies but she didn't seem to get any bad reaction from consuming the tiny amount of egg so I think we are okay... Sigh!
もちろん証拠に写真を撮らなきゃね...かわいいな〜：）
I had to take a picture before I took the bag out of her mouth... It was cute:-)
最近ちょくちょくブログを書いてないのでいつもいんな出来事が一つのブログに込み合ってしまっているけど、フリップビデオ(今日届くはず)が届けばちょくちょく書けるようになると思うので乞うご期待！
I don't write posts often enough lately that I always have to write a lot of incidents in one big chunk... Oh well I will get better once my Flip Video arrives(which is today, Yay!).
他にあった出来事と言えば、先週マサキ君とアキコさんの家でプレイグループをした事かな...やっぱりもう何回も会っているせいか赤ちゃん達は人見知り無しで仲良く遊んでくれてました。まだ新しいカメラが無かったから写真は全然撮らなかったんだけどアイフォンで撮った写真で我慢してね...
So another thing that happened... We had a playgroup last week at Masaki-kun and Akiko-san's apartment and as usual we had a great time:-) I really think that babies are really comfortable with each other and played really well... Since I didn't have my new camera then I didn't get to take many pictures at the playgroup... Here is a few that I took on my iphone...
このマディソンの表情大好き！ロックンロール！！
I LOVE her expression:-) She is gonna be a Rocker
そして水曜日に天気が良かったのでホールフーズでマディソンとランチをしながらセントラルぱークでのんびりして来ました。デイブも学校まで自転車で行かなかったから学校が終わった後ママとマディソンと公園で待ち合わせして、家族３人でセントラルパーク動物園に行って来ました。やっぱりニューヨーク大好き...マディソンがランチの後バガブーで寝っちゃったから公園に着いた後敷物に座ってのんびり出来たんだけど、そこからの景色の写真を撮りながらどれだけここが大好きか実感しちゃいました。ここって私に合うんだよね〜。引っ越しは楽しみだけどそれと同時に心配...日本から来てまず最初に来た所がオクラホマで本当に良かったー。あの何も無いつまんない州...もしニューヨークからオクラホマに行かなきゃいけなかったら頭おかしくなっちゃってたかも...まず最初にオクラホマでデイブに会ったり、いっぱい友達を作ったり、大学に行ったり、デイブと結婚式を挙げれてラリーに引っ越しても絶対ニューヨークが恋しくなるけどその度にデイブがここに住みたくない理由(駐車場探すのが大変、税が高い、家賃が高い、７電車がいつも壊れる）を思い出させてくれるはず：）
また来週ねセントラルパーク！
(If you are a fan of Oklahoma, you may skip this part...)Then on Wednesday Madison and I had a lovely lunch at Whole Foods and relaxing afternoon at Central Park... Since Dave didn't ride his bike to school he was able to meet us at Central Park Zoo after school which was a bonus to a perfect day out in the city... Madison fell asleep on the way to the Sheep Meadow from Whole Foods so once we got there I was able to sit on the blanket and take a few pictures of the park with buildings in the background and just think how much I am going to miss this city... Yup, I'm getting not wedding blues but moving blues... I LOVE NYC and it fits me perfectly that I'm excited to move but scared at the same time... I am so thankful that I first moved to Oklahoma from Japan then to New York... I could not have done it the other way around, no chance! There is nothing to do there and I would have gone crazy!! I mean I'm so glad that I met Dave, made lots of friends, went to school, and had our wedding... but I do not fit into Oklahoma. I think I lost some of my valuable OK readers(if they had kept on reading) right about now... Sorry, but that's the truth... Anyways, my point is that I'm going to miss this city SO MUCH! but every time I do, I will be counting on my lovely hubby to point out all the cons of living in the city... Stupid Parking System, High Tax, High Rent, Annoying 7 Train...
We'll see you next week Central Park...:-)
お昼寝の後はやっぱりミルクが一番：）
Milk tastes the best right after a nice long nap:-)
Oh I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this view of the city...
この公園からの都市の写真お気に入り...
ペンギンが触りたかったみたい。
I guess she wanted to touch the Penguins...
Yep...you guessed it...WALKING!! The previous night she had set a record of 13 steps in our living room, but I think the proof below shows she even topped that!
