Unbelievable!!!



ありえませんって!

庭の木の枝が落ちてきて、私とブリ豚の部屋の窓ガラスが粉々に。。。しかもこれ、今回初めてでなく、この1ヶ月半の間の二回目。。。。。こんな確率の運、いりません。宝くじなみだと思うんだけど、宝くじだったらいいのに。。。。

一回目は私と子供が日本にいる間、ブリ豚から連絡が。それ聞いたときもありえない!と思ったけど。
今回は、私と子供は子供部屋。私が昼寝をしている間、子供立ちは部屋の中で遊んでいたとき。私が起きて、お風呂場を掃除してるといきなり、「ぱりーん!!!!!」とな。

もし、もし!!私が私の部屋で昼寝をしていたら、きっと子供は私の部屋で遊んでいたはず。そしたら・・・きっと落ちてきた枝にぶつかり、粉々のガラスの雨が降っていたはず。。。。
ああ、こわっ。。。

私たちの家でなくて貸家なので大家さんがすっとんできて掃除してくれて修理やさんも呼んでくれて、いろんなことが不幸中の幸い。

しかし、もう二度とこんなこと起こらなくていいです。。。(涙)
2回あったし、3回あるやろうか??

お祓い行こうかな??



Another branch hit our window again!! It happened once when I and the kids was in Japan. I thought I was glad that we weren't there when it happened :p However, I had same experience as Brit at last. Who thought there are so many houses around here and there are so many trees around there, and only our house got the attack, and twice in one and half month???? It's unbelievable!!!!!!!!
We all are fine. It could be worse. This time, Only I and the kids were in kids room, I was taking a nap, the kids were playing in the room. If, IF we were in our bed room, and I was taking a nap, the kids would play in our room and maybe would be hit by the branch and tons of glasses..... Oh, it's scary.....
Glad that we didn't get any hurts.

I'm just hoping it won't happen forever....

ゆきね6歳、かなた3歳 Yukine 6, Kanata 3



そう、今日喜音がこの世に生を受けてから6年が経ちました。
ちなみに奏大は日本にいる間1月7日に3歳に。
日本ではばたばたしてて、暇だと思いきや、あっという間の一ヶ月。また追ってアップする予定。

奏大の誕生日は日本でちゅうばあ、じいじ、おおばあ、おにいも共にやったので、
書くタイミングを逃した。プラス ケーキとかしなかったので、ささやかながら今日喜音と一緒に小さなお祝いをしました。(かわいそうな二人目??やっぱり??笑)

後日喜音の誕生日パーティもしようと思ってるので本来今日はなにもしないつもりだったけど、やっぱり当日だし、ってことで急遽すごく即席。でも二人とも思いのほかすごく喜んでいて、素直に育ってくれている(今のうちだけ??苦笑)ことが母としても嬉しく思える日でした。

6年が経ち、バースディカードを日本語、英語両方自分で理解できるようになった喜音。誇りに思います。

口こそは生意気で殴りたくなるけど、でもやっぱりいいお姉さん、責任感があって、やさしい子。たまに無理しすぎるところ、ちょっと自分に自信がないところなんかも。


かなたはその点、すごくマイペースであきらかに二人目男の子といった感じ。うまいこと世渡りしてってる。(喜音が怒られていることを見て、しない。もしくは親の前ではしない。)

よーしゃべるようになりました。英語も日本語も。日本語は、やっぱり日本から帰ってきたばかりなこともあって、語彙が増えた。たまに「そんなこともいえるの?」と驚かさせる母。

ちょっと背も伸びたかな?幾分冬太り感が解消されてきたような??笑

なによりも本当にこの二人は仲がいい。もちろん喧嘩もするけれど、お互いのことをよく考え合えてて、お互いがすごく好きなのが嬉しい。どうかこのまま仲良い姉弟でいてほしいものです。

私も母親6年記念。うーんまだまだやっぱり母として悩む日々だけど、余裕を持って、流されず、どんと構えられるかあちゃんになるべくまた精進していきます。

おめでとう、喜音、そして奏大!

We came back from Japan a week ago. I couldn't update my blog even once while we were there! It was busy last two weeks since we went visit back and forth between Kyoto and Nagano. Though other than that, I was supposed to have a lots of time in Nagano. Now that we are already in Seattle. Time flies.
On the other hand, I feel like I have come back from Japan since it's been for a year or something. It took for a while for me to adjust to Seattle life again.
I'll update Japan trip as soon as I can. Hopefully...:p
Anyway, Yukine had her birthday today. She turned 6 year-old. Kanata tuned 3 year old when we were in Japan, right after new year, On 7th Jan. We had a party for my mom who had her birthday on 7th Feb, Yukine and Kanata in Japan, though No cake and no birthday song. So Today we had a small birthday party for two of them. Yukine will have a party with her friends sometime soon (Awwww I have to think about it....) So it was a really really small one. I and Brit wrote their birthday cards and baked an instant cake, put candles on it. It was not fancy at all, but the kids were still very happy about it. I was glad that they are very sweet kids when I saw their faces :-)

Is Yukine already 6? I can't believe it! She is a happy, sweet, kind, has responsibility, good kid. And she also has very sensitive part, sometimes she doesn't know how great she is, worry how her friends think about her. I understand that since I am too. I mean I can't be confident either. Some point, that's why she can be very kind tho, in my opinion. Good and bad.
Her dad never care about anyone else. And he is always almost very happy. So I hope that she will get some way to think thing from her dad. In addition, I feel that she is getting closer and closer to teenage girl..... I fear it.

As for Kanata, he is going to his very way. He still loves trucks and cars, not much trains according to him.He loves fighting, kicking, punching right now, by which his mom is not appreciated . I have no idea how he got the idea. He didn't see TV much, especially, I didn't let him witch fighting scene or games tho. I seriously want to put him in Karate club or something so that he can kick and punch without my stopping :p He is a big boy, he is strong. He usually doesn't listen to his mom and just run away. I chase him a lot recently.... He speaks a lot both in English and Japanese. Thanks to his my Kirino family and Japanese friends, his Japanese vocabulary is increasing a lot. His English sounds like very Yukine :p
And I have been a mom for 6 years. Still there are so many things I don't know, I bump the wall. Raising kids job is always challenging for me. I'm trying to ,at least, remember not to compare with other people, tell my kids how much I love them, have leeway.
