どもども。
Hello everyone!
皆様、いかがお過ごしでしょうか？
How's everything going today?
さて、3月の最後の週ですが、めいさんの学校が春休みだったので、ここぞとばかりに日本語補習校のお友達とプレイデートをさせてもらいました。
So, the last week of March was May-chan's spring break, so I set up lots of playdates that week with her friends from Japanese school.
その中でも一番たくさんさせてもらったのが、たっくんでした。
The one who we played with most was Tac-kun.
実はたっくん、パパの異動に伴って1月の時点で補習校は退学したんですが、その後パパの仕事の予定が変わってもう少しミネソタにいてくれるという事で、これはチャンスとばかりにプレイデートをお願いしたんです。
Tac-kun actually quit Japanese school last January due to his dad's work, but after that, the situation changed a little bit and his family needed to stay in MN until they would find out his dad's work stuff again. So, why not? They're still here. I asked to have playdates with us.
それに加えて、たっくんとママのれーちゃんは、パパのお仕事の予定が分かるまでしばらく日本に帰るという事で、その前に出来るだけ会っておきたい～！と思ったので、結果、春休み中から2人が4月中旬に帰るまでの間に3回もプレイデートする事ができました。
Also, Tac-kun and his mom, Rei-chan were planning to go back to Japan sometime soon and stay there until they would find out what's going to happen next about the work stuff, so I wanted to hang out with them as often as possible before they were gone. Thanks to everything working out well, we could have 3 playdates from the spring break to the mid week of April right before they left here for Japan.
1回目のプレイデート。たっくんが補習校を辞めてから3カ月ぶりの再会です。
The first playdate. It was the firstt reunion after Tac-kun left Japanese school 3 months before.
たっくん、私達の事をちゃんと覚えてくれていました。
How nice it is that he surely remembered us!!
有難いことに、ママのれーちゃんが「お昼ごはん作るから何も持って来なくても良いよー。」と言ってくれて、こんな素敵なランチ（チキン南蛮）を用意してくれていました。そして、めちゃくちゃ美味しかった～。
Thanks to tac-kun's mom, Rei-chan, saying, "I'll make something for lunch, so you don't have to bring anything!" We could enjoy such an amazing lunch there. She made us Chicken Namban (Chicken with sweet&sour sauce and tartar sauce) which's a very popular dish in Japan and I really loved it.
そして、同じ週に2回目のプレイデート。
The second playdate on the same week.
この日はれーちゃんがピザ作りの準備をしてくれていたので、皆で好きなようにトッピング！
Again, Re-chan prepped everything for us to make pizza together. So, we put toppings as we liked.
めいとたっくんも楽しんで上手に具をのせておりました。
May-chan and Tac-kun had much fun with the cooking too.
チーズ！
Cheese!
無事綺麗に焼き上がりました。
Here we go! They turned out so perfect! This was for the kids.
大人用のも完成。美味しそうに焼けました。
This was for the grown-ups. It looks very delicious, doesn't it?
たっくんは結構食べていましたが、めいはその前にお菓子を食べてお腹が空いていなかったのかあまり口を付けず。
Tac-kun was eating his pizzal so well, but May-chan had eaten too much snack and candy before lunch to enjoy the delicious pizza more than a couple of bites.
めいさんは早々にランチを終えて、シェフ姿になって喜んでおりました。
May-chan finished her lunch in a minute and enjoyed dressing her up like a chef.
めいとたっくん、お互い一人っ子という事もあって似ている所がたくさんあるせいか、喧嘩も一杯しますがこんな風にあまーい時間も多々あります。(笑)
May-chan and Tac-kun have much in common probably because both of them are single child. They fight a lot, but also be sweet with each other a lot like this too. Haha.
この日も目一杯長い時間遊ばせてもらって、たっくんとれーちゃんが日本に一時帰国する前にもう一回だけ最後のプレイデートをしてもらいました。
We stayed at their place for a long time on the second playdate too, but we decided to have one more playdate right before Tac-kun and Rei-chan would leave MN for Japan.
この日もたっくんとめいが仲良く遊んでくれている間、れーちゃんとHit-chanは楽しくお喋り。
On the third playdate. While the kids were playing well, Rei-chan and I enjoyed chatting.
この日も上げ膳据え膳。(笑) 美味しいスパゲティミートソースが出てきました。（れーちゃん、ありがと！！）
Again, Rei-chan made us lunch. Haha. She kindly had prepped spaghetti sauce for us. (Thank you, Rei-chan!)
めいはシンプルに茹でたスパゲティに粉チーズをかけるだけが好きなので、それをパクパク食べていました。
May-chan's a huge fan of this spaghetti dish which's simply pour a little olive oil and put a lot of parmesan cheese on top. She ate a lot that day.
一応、めいとたっくんとのプレイデートと言っておりますが、これはHit-chanとれーちゃんとのランチデートという色も強くてですね、本当に3回とも親子共々楽しい時間を過ごさせてもらいました。
I'm saying that it's playdates for Tac-kun and May-chan, but at the same time it's lunch dates for Rei-chan and me too. So, May-chan and I both had such a great time in all of the 3 play(lunch) dates together.
この先、たっくんとれーちゃんは最低でもあと1回はミネソタに帰ってきれくれるんですが、その後はまだ未定という状態。
It's pretty much sure that Tac-kun and Rei-chan will come back to MN once at least, but they even don't know what's going to happen after that.
この先離れ離れになる可能性が高いですが、Hit-chanにとってれーちゃんは大人になってから気を遣わず話せる新しいお友達で、その存在は凄く有難くて貴重なものだとヒシヒシ感じています。
I know that they'll probably move somewhere far from MN, but Rei-chan is such a precious friend who I can be comfortable with and I understand how lucky I am to meet her at the point in my life.
なので、この先お互いどこに住んでいても、定期的に連絡を取って、会えるチャンスがある時には出来るだけ会いたいなぁと思っています。
So, I wish that I could keep the friendship for the rest of my life and want to make as many chances to see her in person as possible in the future too.
という訳で、たっくん＆れーちゃんとのプレイデート3連チャン、本当に楽しくて幸せな時間を過ごさせてもらいました！
Okay, this is all about the 3 playdates with Tac-kun and Rei-chan in March and April! Thanks to them, May-chan and I could have such a happy time!
今日はこの辺で～！読んで下さってありがとうございました！！！
