A Visit From Grandma Klein/リンダお婆ちゃんが訪れるの巻き

Grandma Klein arrived for a visit last Friday...and Madison immediately started showing off her improved flexibility...
先週の金曜日にリンダお婆ちゃんが到着しました...そしてマディソンは体の柔らかさを自慢げに見せました...

For the first five nights we were able to book the guest suite in our building on the 17th floor, which was soooo nice! Grandma took a picture of her view...
最初の５日間は僕達のマンションの１７回のスイートに泊まる事が出来ました...その部屋から見れる豪華な景色を写真で見せましょう...

Saturday we got up bright and early and took Gma to Disneyland...whenever we bring a guest our first stop is always Fantasyland because the lines get long quickest there...but this morning we had a short ten minute wait for Peter Pan and then basically walked onto Dumbo and the Carousel!!
次の日の土曜日、朝早くさっそくディズニーランドへ...いつもお客さんをディズニーランドに連れて行く時はまず最初にファンタジーランドへ。なぜかと言うとそこの乗り物が一番速く混んじゃうから、でもこの朝はピーターパンにはたったの１０分待ちでダンボとメリーゴーランドにはほとんど待ち時間無しで乗る事が出来ました!!

Not sure what ride this is, but it must be interesting...
何に乗っているのか忘れちゃったけど２人とも真剣そう...

Here Madison is waiting for the train...
サーカス列車を待っているマディソン...

The best part of the day was Madison with Sailor Mickey...
船員ミッキーと写真を撮っているマディソンの顔が面白い...

She went right up and gave him a hug...
自分一人でミッキーにハグしにいったマディソン...

One bonus of coming to the park with Gma is the gifts...
お婆ちゃんとテーマパークに行く得点の一つと言えば、お土産...

Madison having some fun before the parade starts...
パレードが始まるまで走り回って楽しんでいるマディソン...

And video of our final ride of the night...Autopia...a car stalls in front of Madison and Gmas car and Anna and I bump them while I am trying to film...

そして、家に帰る前に最後に乗った乗り物は...オートピア...マディソンとリンダお婆ちゃんが乗っている車の間の車がエンストしていたんだけど、それを見ていた僕達がマディソンの車に追突...

Monday we went to the Aquarium of the Pacific where Madison loves to visit Turtle Crush...
月曜日はタートルクラッシュを見に近くの水族館へ...

Wednesday we went to the Kidspace Children's Museum in Pasadena, right outside the Rose Bowl...Madison had a great time at first...

She cheesed for the camera...
水曜日はパサディナにある子供館へ...早速楽しんでいたマディソン...
カメラに向かってチーズ...

Made her cute face with Gma
お婆ちゃんと可愛いポーズ。

Played in the water...
水で遊んで...

And tossed fruit out of the kitchen...
台所から果物を投げて...

Then she put in some hard labor at the construction site...
そして、建築場で汗働き...

And cooled off in the fountains...
そして、噴水で遊んで一休み...

Then things took a turn for the worse...it looks like Madison knew what was about to happen...
そして、状況は予定外に悪化する...マディソンもそれを予期しているみたい...

She even pouted in advance...because two minutes later she fell head first over the railing of this hut and smacked her face against the wall and hard floor giving herself a bloody lip...
約２分後にこの後ろから顔面落下して壁に顔をぶつけて唇を切ってしまったんです...

And I'm not sure if you can see it, but the BIGGEST fat lip I have ever seen...
it was super-duper-duper-duper sad!!
そして、この写真では見にくいけど今まで見た事の無いほど大きく腫れた唇...とっても、とーっても悲しい結果!!

We iced it with a fruit bar (a strangers idea...thanks stranger) and were going to leave when Madison perked up a little on the way out and I decided to take her up the hill and see what was there...it turned out to be this river complete with waterfalls
that the kids could play in...Madison loved it...
氷で唇を冷やして帰ろうとした時に、急に元気を取り戻したマディソン、丘の上を上ってその向こう側に何があるか見に行く事にしました。そこには子供達が入って遊べる小川と小さな滝が...マディソンは大はしゃぎ...

After eating the remainder of her ice and some snacks for lunch, she fell asleep five minutes into the ride home and hasn't awoken yet (about a 3 hour nap)...I have her boo boo bunny kitty (hello kitty ice pack) and some ice cream on the ready as soon as she wakes up :-)
そして、フルーツアイスとおやつを食べた後車に戻るなりお昼寝を始めたマディソン、３時間が経過する所なんだけどまだ起きる気配無し...マディソンが起きるなりブーブバディハローキティ(ハローキティのアイスパック）とアイスクリームを用意してあります：）

More Singing/歌を歌う

Today Madison decided to throw a little hint that she was ready to go back to Disneyland by singing the parade song...it is actually "Come on, come on, SoundSATIONAL," you can cross reference it with the actual parade, but she has the tune part down pat...and when Mommy asked her if she had anything else to share she went right into a rendition of what we are calling the secret song because neither Anna or myself have any clue what Madison is saying, but she knows exactly what she is saying as she will be quick to correct you if you get it wrong. "A Sorry A All Gone" I say, "No, no" Madison says, "Eh salo, eh asca." I think she picked it up at Suika (the Japanese Daycare), but seriously any code breakers out there have at it...
今日、そろそろディズニーランドに戻りたいと両親に知らせる為なのか、夏の間やっているパレードのテーマソングを歌い始めたマディソン、“カモン、カモン、サウンドセーショナル！”。２番目のビデオは前にも載せたパレードのビデオです。そして、ママが他に何か歌いたい歌あると聞くとこの謎の歌(僕とアンナには全く覚えがない歌)を歌い始めたんです...僕達には何を言っているか全く分からないけど自分ではしっかり何の歌を歌って居るのか分かっているみたい。考えられるのはスイカ保育園で習った歌なんだけど...だれかこの歌聞いた事がある人いますか？？

Madison the Big Girl.../マディソン大きくなってきた...

On Tuesday I dropped Madison off at Liam's family's place before going off to my college class per our usual routine...but this Tuesday the Mooney's (Liam's family) had an addition to their home...a bicycle!! Madison took to it right away and while Anna and I were already planning on getting Madison a tricycle type contraption we quickly upped our game to the real deal!!
火曜日の夜いつも通りに大学に行く前にリアムの家にマディソンを預けに行きました...この日ムーニー家には新しい家族の一員が...自転車!!　見るなりお気に入り(リアムのにも関わらず)。アンナと僕は既に三輪車を買う予定でいたんだけど、長持ちする様にちゃんとした自転車を買う事に決めました！

While Madison can not officially "pedal" herself yet, she sure loves being pushed :-)
まだちゃんと自分で自転車をこぐ事が出来ないので今の所は押して貰っています...でも十分満足そう...：）

This being a Galaxy-less Saturday we got to spend the day with Liam's Family again out at his grandparents place where they have a pool with a real diving board :-) For some reason, Madison decided the diving board looked like fun and this was the result...
今週末は僕のギャラクシーゲ−ムが無かったので、リアムのママの両親の家に招待してもらってジャンプ台付きのプールを満喫しました：）なぜか知らないけどジャンプ台に興味を示したマディソン、その結果はこれ...

This continued at least a dozen times...I was afraid she would throw up, but she got to the point where she would jump off, "swim" to the stairs at the other end and then walk around to the diving board and do it all again...
これを１２回以上繰り返す事に...食べて直ぐ後でジャンプなんかしてゲ−したらどうしようと思っていたけど、そんな事も無しに最後の方ではジャンプした後自分で泳いで外に出ての繰り返しをするほど...

The other thing she has recently started doing is "exercising"...she has watched her mother and I do our 30 minute Jillian Michaels routine and has now decided she wants to join...but her jumping jacks are potentially dangerous in a small space :-)
後最近する様になった事は、“運動する”事...僕とママが運動するのを見るからなのか自分でも運動したいと参加すう様に...でもマディソン用にもう少し大きい所が無いと結構危険かも：）

Musical Madison/ミュージカルマディソン

Much like her Daddy...Madison Loves to Sing...She especially took a liking to Katy Perry's Firework...she kept asking for it to be repeated on our CD of random songs, so I made her a new CD where it played seven times in a row...she still asked for it to be repeated...crazily she also does pretty good at this other song we like called Keep Your Head Up which she hears much less often...
パパとそっくりでマディソンは歌を歌うのが大好き...特にケイティペリーのファイヤーワークはマディソンの大のお気に入りです...いつも運転している時に後ろから注文が来るのでマディソン用に７曲連続でファイヤーワークを入れたCDを特別に作ったんだけど、７曲終わった後ももっとーっていうほど...もう一つ歌うのが得意な歌はキープヨアヘッドアップっていう曲です...

We couldn't remember if we posted these yet or not as well...the first one she calls tootles (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) and then fakes sleep...
これを前にも載せたのか思い出せなかったので載せておきます...ミッキーマウスクラブハウスのテュードルズを読んだ後寝たふりをするマディソン...

This one she is much more awake as she sings the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Theme Song...
ミッキーマウスクラブハウスのテーマソングに合わせて歌う目がバッチリ覚めたマディソン...

San Diego Weekend in Pictures/サンディエゴで撮った写真

As you know the 3 day weekend officially started with soccer practice...with Mommy present we were able to get more pictures...
知っている通り僕達の３日連休はサッカのレッスンから始まりました...ママが居たお陰で写真を沢山撮る事が出来ました...
