First Week with Daddy/パパと過ごす週1週目

So Week 1 of Daddy Daycare was a success...Monday we went to the pool and practiced soccer...
パパお子守り役の一週間目は何とか成功に終わる事が出来ました...月曜日はプールで遊んだ後サッカーの練習...

Tuesday we walked to the aquarium and then Grace and Chris came over to keep Madison (and Ellie) company as I had to go to college and Anna wouldn't be home for a few hours...
火曜日は近くにある水族館に行って来ました。そしてお昼寝の後グレースとクリスがアンナが家に帰るまでマディソンのお子守りをしに来てくれました。僕は大学の授業へ...

Wednesday we revisited the pool then Anna picked us up and we went straight to Bible Class (with a quick stop at Panda Express, quickly becoming a Wednesday tradition)...no pictures.
水曜日はまたプールそして夕方アンナが仕事から帰りがけに僕とマディソンを拾って、パンダエキスプレスと言う中華料理のファーストフード版の所でご飯を食べた後教会へ...写真無し。

Thursday we went to the playground and met Liam and his mom, Jacqueline and then went to the pool again...
木曜日は近くの公園でリアムとリアムのママ、ジャッカリンと待ち合わせそして午後はまたプール...

Friday we drove Mommy to work, enrolled Madison in two day daycare (a tryout of sorts to see how she does) at a Japanese daycare about halfway between home and Anna's work (but a bit out of the way) and then went straight to soccer practice for Madison through the Parks and Recreation Dept.
金曜日の朝、ママを仕事に送った後7月中だけ週2日で通う事にしたスイカ幼稚園のサマーキャンプの月謝を払いに行きました。その後サッカーのクラスに直行。
It was Madison and 8 or so other kids with their parents and all showed exceedingly more skill then our Madison. The "coach" wanted us to practice dribbling, but Madison only has kicking the ball as hard as she can down, so that did not go well...
マディソンも入れて9人の子供達とその親達が来たんだけど、みんなマディソンより断然上手い。先生は子供達にドリブルをして欲しかったらしいんだけど、今の所マディソンが出来る事と言えば思いっきりボールを蹴る事...練習成るのみ!

But when goal scoring was the final activity you better believe she did well :-) Videos are below at the end.
でもゴールにボールを入れるのが目的になった時は、マディソンもやっと練習の成果を見せる事が出来ました:)ビデオは最後の方にあるからね〜:)

After picking Anna up, we went to have dessert with Liam's family. While the adults were chatting we noticed that the kids had gotten cozy on the couch all by themselves...
アンナを迎えに行った後、ムーニー家に寄って一緒にデザートを食べました。大人達がいろんな話に夢中になっている間に、ソファの上に座って毛布も掛けて勝手に居心地良くなっていたお似合いの2人...

So that was our week...I admire Anna even more now for being able to go nine months without a car...it is not easy...next week will be Madison and my last carless week as we are renting one the weeks of July 4th to the 15th and then will be looking at purchasing a new car as Anna (who is really enjoying her job and doing awesome of course) will plan to go full-time in mid-July.
こんな感じの一週間目でした...今更ながら9ヶ月間の車無しで過ごしていたアンナにはとても関心...思ったより難しくてビックりでした...来週もう一周間は車無しだけどその後は2週間車を借りてその後はアンナが7月半ばに正社員(仕事はとっても上手く行っていて、本人もとても楽しんでいるみたい)に成ると同時に新車(良い中古車)を購入予定です。

Saturday (family day) found us of course at our favorite family hangout...Disneyland!! Now that it is summertime they have added a parade which was a lot of fun. Madison also loves the new Little Mermaid ride as the "fishy" is quickly becoming one of her favorite characters...
土曜日はもちろんディズニーランドに行かなきゃね!!夏の季節が来るなりパレードも始まりまた一段と楽しめる物が増えたディズニーランドです。マディソンの特にお気に入りなのはリトルマーメイドの乗り物...

Here Anna was trying to figure out what we should do next so she put her hand on her chin and said "Hmm." Our little copycat quickly put her hand to her chin and said, "Hmm." It was very cute.
この写真では、アンナが次何しようかーって考えている所を早速真似している僕達のコピーキャット:)
Madison's two favorite parade floats...
マディソンのお気に入りのパレードの乗り物の二つ...





Here are the videos of Madison's first soccer practice...we can only go up from here :-)
そしてこれは、マディソンの初めてのサッカークラスからのビデオ...これから上達しか出来ないでしょう:)








If you listen closely at this last video, Madison is singing "Yo Ho Pirates" as she runs a round...a definite indication that we spend too much time at Disneyland :-)
このビデオで聞き耳を立てるとマディソンが走り回りながら歌っているのは、カリブの海賊の歌...ディズニーランドに行き過ぎの証拠です:)
