Category リハビリ (Rehab)
前日からLeoは微熱続きで、せっかくの土曜日なのに、今日はお家でパパと2人でお留守番。まるで学校ばりに、塗り絵、アルファベット、数字、レゴブロックと勉強したね(^-^)/
Leo had a little fever since yesterday, so he and I stayed home this Saturday. But together, we worked on paintings, alphabets, numbers, and LEGOs, much like what he does at school:-)
2日前からつけ始めたブレースも、頑張って慣れようとしてる姿にパパはまた泣きそうになったよ。もちろん、嬉しくてね。
He started putting the braces 2 days ago, and I was so glad or even almost crying seeing him trying to get used to them without much complaint.
でも、今日一番嬉しかったのは、Senaが帰ってきて、パパとLeoが遊んでいるところに割って入ってきたときのこと。いつもは大人しいLeoが、「なんだよ～！パパは今日は僕と遊んでるからじゃまするなー！」って感じでSenaに殴りかかっていったこと。
But what made me feel the happiest today was when Sena came back home, she cut in between me and Leo playing. He got very mad and hit her like crazy. He is usually very mellow but today, he was showing his emotion maximally with his body expressing "daddy is all mine today, so leave us alone!"
もちろん、殴りかかる行為自体は怒ったが、今まで見せたことがない感情表現にちょっと感動。言葉も動きも不自由なのに、一生懸命Senaを押し返してた。
Of course, I scolded him for hitting her. But to be honest, I was so happy to see that because he had never shown it before. OK, he cannot move his body well nor say things as he wants (for now!), but he was expressing his emotion by pushing her very hard.
そうだよな～。4歳半だし、普通の子はそれぐらいするだろうな～なんて思っても、その「普通」さがやけに嬉しかった。
Well, he is 4 and a half, and normal kids in his age do that "normally". But the "normalness" he showed today made me feel "exceptionally" happy and realize that he has been growing, much like other kids...
いつもよりビールが美味しかった。
At the dinner table today, a "normal" beer tasted "exceptionally" better :-)
