On the night of Madison's birthday party, Dave had to work at LA Galaxy game so we offered Jim and Alyson tickets to the game while I found out what it's like to have 3 close aged girls under my watch...
問題なく行った夜だけどジムとアリソンが帰って来たときはやっぱりホッと出来て嬉しかったな〜。これを毎日しなきゃいけなかったお母さんはやっぱり凄い！とても感謝しています：）
Which went well but I was happy to see Jim, Alyson and Dave come home and now I have soooo much more respect for my mom who had a very similar situation going everyday of her life!
マディソンはまだ興味を示さないのでトイレの練習していないんだけどリリーはもう３才でトイレ完全に行けるんです。しかもリリーは私が見ている間に２回もうんちしてくれて...やっぱり自分の子供じゃないから変な感じだったり何をすればいのか良く分からなかったんだけど、リリーが私が押さえないとトイレに落ちちゃうとか終わった後は私が拭かなきゃいけないとか教えてくれたので何とか乗り切れた感じ...：）
So Madison hasn't been potty trained yet, and I have no intention of forcing her into trying since I heard that if the kid is not ready to potty train it's better to wait than rushing and be absolutely frustrating... Anyhow so as soon as Jim and Alyson left I got to experience what it's like first hand...:-) And I must say it is a very strange feeling to be right there when someone else goes and very much in their comfort zone... Lily was sooo sweet though. She would tell me that I need to hold her so she won't fall into the toilet and that she needs me to wipe afterward... I felt a lot closer to Lily than ever before after two #2 trips to the bathroom with Lily that night...:-)
この夜は塔の上のラプンチェルを見たり、グレースがマディソンのベッドで寝ている間にこの動物のビーチボールで遊んだりとマディソンとリリーはさらに仲良くなったみたい...この日からおもちゃの取り合いが断然減ったような気が...！
The evening went well with a showing of Tangled and cousins playing together with their blow up animal beach balls while the baby cousin slept... I would say after that night there was less fighting over toys between the kids and I know they were much, much more comfortable with each other!
そして、イースターの朝スティーブおじいちゃんとリンダおばあちゃんからのイースタープレゼントを開けたマディソン...：）
And on Easter morning we gave Easter presents we got from G-pa and G-ma Klein...:-)
