スティック’エム！スタックエム！って言う言葉が最近マディソンの中で流行っているらしい...日本語なのか英語なのか今の所意味不明なんだけど英語っぽいよね...今日ここで最近マディソンのする面白い事などを紹介します：）
1. Madisonese:
We are anxiously waiting to see which language appears first...right now Madison really only speaks her own language, that maybe the dogs can understand...I think her same age friends can say more words now but we've always expected her to be a bit slow in that area since we are trying to teach her two totally different languages... So words she can say are "Yeah", "Daddy", Yada!(No!)", "That!", "Takai Takai(means High! or Expensive!)" and Stick'em Stuck'em!
1．マディソン語
どっちの言葉が最初に出て来るのか待ち遠しくしているこの頃...今は話すと言ってもマディソン語かエリーとココが分かりそうな言葉かな...マディソンの同い年の子達はやっぱりかなり話始めているみたいだけど、これは始めから２カ国語を教える上で覚悟していた事だからしょうがないんだけどね...今の所マディソンが言える言葉は、イヤー、ダディ、矢田！、ザット！、高い高い、とスティック’エム！スタックエム！
2. Ever a Lady:
She loves carrying around baskets, purses, small bags, or containers... Is that a girl thing!? Not sure but it sure is cute:-) Wait till we have a picture of her carrying her brand new backpack I got for her in Japan!
2．やっぱり女の子
小さいバスケットや入れ物、お財布入れなどを片手に歩き回るのが大好きです...女の子だからカナ!?やっぱりカワイイ：）日本で買って来たすごいカワイイリュックを背負っている写真を楽しみに待っていてね！
3. Waving!!!:
We can't get enough of it... She waves when people leave, when we leave the room, when she is saying good night to her g-parents, when we tell her to say bye bye, etc... Super cute!
3．バイバイ!!!
これは本当に飽きないなー...誰か人が居なくなる時、私達が部屋を出る時、じいじとばあばおやすみなさいする時、そしてバイバイしようねーって言うとき、などなど...超カワイイ！
4. Blueberry poo:
She's been eating lots and lots of blueberries so her poops are blue or purple... I guess this can be one of the funny things she does:-)
4．ブルーベリー色うんち
最近ブルーベリーを食べる機会が多いので、マディソンのうんちはブルーベルー色...面白い事するでしょ：）
5. Sippy cup:
She carries her sippy cup like a football and runs/walks around the house exploring... So in case she gets lost she won't starve!
5．シッピーカップ
シッピーカップをフットボールみたいに腕で抱えて家中を歩き回るのが好きなマディソン...もし道に迷って迷子になっても食べ物に困らないようにしてるみたい！
6. Sharing:
She LOVES sharing her cheerios and blueberries with Ellie mostly and sometimes with us... She would let Ellie take it off her finger and with us she would put it in our mouth...
6．お裾分け
マディソンはエリーとか私達に自分が食べているチリオやブルーベリーをお裾分けするのが大好き...エリーもちゃんと指を噛まないように上手に貰っていってます。もう大親友！
7. No!:
She understands No! in Japanese really well... Which is "Dame!" but we are afraid people who don't know that we are speaking Japanese would think we are saying really bad words to our daughter so we are trying to say "Dame-dayo!" which is a softer "No!"... Or I have to say something else in Japanese quickly so that nosy people can realize I'm not speaking English... I don't know what Dave should be doing, just keep saying "Nope!"!?
7．だめ！
この言葉はちゃんと分かるみたい...しかも日本語：）でもこの言葉をこっちの人が聞くと、英語の悪い言葉に聞き間違えられやすいから最近は“だめだよ!”って言うようにしています...それか、だめって言った後他に何か日本語で言ったり：）
8. Balls:
She can kind of throw overhand... Can't tell where the ball may be going and it could totally go backwards but she knows that she is supposed to "throw" balls:-)
8．ボール
誰かがボールを投げれるようになるのは２歳ぐらいだよって言っていたんだけど、マディソンもう投げてるんだよね...方向はめちゃくちゃだけどボールは投げる物って分かっているみたい、すごい！
9. Diaper changes:
Oh this is not a funny thing at all but she HATES diaper changes!! She twists, head stands, stretches, closes her legs, etc... Every diaper change is a fight and we just can't understand all the fuss! Although we felt a bit better to know that Harper also hates his diaper changing and is 2 months older...
9．オムツ替え
これは全然面白い訳ではないんだけど、最近オムツ替えが大嫌いになってしまいました...もうちゃんと寝ていてくれないし、足クネクネ、頭逆立ち、足硬直とマディソンの技はいろいろ...２ヶ月上の友達ハーパーもオムツ替え大嫌いみたいでちょっとホッとしてるんだけどね...
10. Water bug:
She loves the Ocean, Pool, and Bath! While staying at g-parents we've been enjoying our bath time in a big garden tub... And while in the bath she loves to drink bath water... And in this picture she is drinking the pool water while in her hippo pool. We are just glad she hasn't tried to do that in the Ocean or the public pool...:-)
10．水大好き虫
お水大〜好きです！おじいちゃんとおばあちゃんの家に居る間巨大浴槽で家族３人で仲良くお風呂に入っています...その他にも海に行ったり、プールに行ったりと大忙し。お風呂に入っている時に水を掬って飲むのが大好きなマディソン、まあ公共プールや海では今の所飲水していないからありがたいんだけどね...：）
11. Cooler:
The other day we found her trying to get into our cooler... So Daddy took her on a ride! Since then we saw her get into the Bean's bed too...
11．クーラー
この前、静かに何をしているかと思っていたら床に置いてあったクーラーに入り込んで嬉しそうにしていたから、パパに引っ張って貰って台所を一週：）その後にビーンズのベッドに入り込んでいる事も...
12. Cousins:
She really enjoys hanging out with her cousins... Here Carter was watching Mythbusters on TV and Madison decided to join him on the couch...:-)
12．いとこ
いとこ２にと遊ぶのが大好き...この日はテレビを見ていたカーターの横にちょこんと座ってみることに...：）
She also enjoyed when her cousins would rock her...いとこの２人にロッキンチェアでゆらゆらしてもらってご機嫌のマディソン...
13. Shopping cart:
We may have mentioned this before, but at the grocery stores, Madison loves to help push the cart. She gets right underneath in the middle and pushes with all her might...at Target the carts are designed a little different and the only way she can push is by using a bar that is really low and makes her bend over so her little tush is in the air as she pushes...it is adorable.
13．ショッピングカート
これは前にも言ったかもしれないけどスーパーに買い物に行くとマディソンはカートを押すのがお気に入り。カートを押している私かパパの下に入って一緒に押します...でもターゲットのカートは後ろに付いている棒が低すぎるからマディソンは四つん這いにならないとうまく押せないんだけど、それでもがんばってお尻を上げて押してくれます...カワイイ子。
14. Arch nemesis:
Being in Connecticut has allowed us to put Madison in the nursery during church (our church in NY didn't have a nursery) and there she has met a baby who shall remain nameless that is super aggressive. When meeting Madison for the first time she took her pacifier and tried to take a chunk of her hair...I intercepted a wooden mallet that had Madison's skull as its intended target...adorable I know!! I have never thought of myself as an aggressive person, but in that moment I just wanted Madison to give her a swift kick in the shin, but she just stood there like a statue and let the "loving" baby give her a "hug" that knocked her to the ground...newsflash...we don't call that a hug where I come from we call it a rumble!!
14．大の敵
コネチカットの教会には赤ちゃん用のバイブル教室があるんだけどそこで出会ったにはほとんど同じ歳のマディソンという同じ名前の女の子...でもその子が凶暴で、凶暴で本当に困っています。初めて家のマディソンに会った時、マディソンのパシを取って髪の毛引っ張ったり...いつもはただ見守っている私達もこの凶暴マディソンの前では順次援護体制の用意！でも平和主義なのかやり返すってこと知らないのか当の本人は立ちすくんでいるだけ...怖いからなのかな!?
1. Stick 'em Stuck 'em sounds like a cheer. Maybe she's going to be a cheerleader and not a tennis player... :)
ReplyDelete4. If you REALLY want to see blue poo, you should feed her Cookie Monster birthday cake with blue frosting. She'll be pooping blue for a week. Don't ask how I know this.
7. I don't think you should try and cover up "dame" just say it and either someone will have a great story to tell about the mother teaching her kid swear words, or someone will confront you about it and that will be funny too!
9. Lily went through a LOOOOONG phase (about from age 1 to 2) where she HATED diaper changes. It was so weird and annoying because she'd had her diaper changed about 10 times a day HER WHOLE LIFE and then suddenly one day it bothered her and we had to wrangle a kicking and squirming baby every single time. What a pain!
13. Lily also loves pushing the shopping cart, but shopping takes about twice as long when she does because she pushes slowly and gets distracted and then wants to pull stuff off the shelves. I only let her when Jim is there to wrangle her.
