今日のいろいろ Things We Did Today

今日のことを書く前に，昨日のことを少し。
Before writing about today, I write little bit about yesterday.


昨日は実家からウィリアム宛てに荷物が届きました✨✨✨
William received a package from my parents.


中にはいろんなお菓子🍬と甚平が2着👘👘
Inside the box were Japanese snacks and 2 jinbeis (traditional Japanese clothes worn during summer).

甚平一着着てみました。靴下履いてて変だけど，なかなかいい感じ。
William tried one of the jinbeis. Kinda looks funny with socks, but looked pretty good.

じいじ，ばあば，どうもありがとう！
Thank you grandpa and grandma!


今日は，バランスバイクに乗りに行く予定でしたが，このところ5日くらいウィリアムにお通じがなく，バイクに乗っている間に出たら困る！って思って出るまで行かないことに。
In the morning, William and I were planning on going on a balance bike riding, but we decided not to because William hasn't pooped for the last 5 days or so and I was afraid he would poo while we were out. 

朝トランポリンで飛び跳ねさせたり，水分をたくさん摂らせたり，お腹をさすったり，といろいろやったけれど結局午後になるまで出ず。出なそうだったので一応買い物だけには出かけて，無事に戻ってくることができてホッ。😌
So, I made him jump on the trampoline for a while, had him drink juice/water, rubbed his tummy, etc. But he didn't poo until afternoon. He didn't seem like he was going to in the morning, so we went shopping.


買い物に行ったお店でキャンプ用の折り畳みいすをウィリアムに買いました。それに座ってピクニックランチしたいというので二人で裏庭の木陰でピクニックしました。
At the store, I bought him a camping chair for William. William wanted to try it by having a picnic lunch, so we did in the shade in our backyard.

食べてる途中に尺取虫発見🐛久しぶりに見てちょっと感動。
While we were having a picnic lunch, we found a measuring worm. It had been a while since I saw one last, so I got excited.

午後はウィリアムがサイドウォークチョークでお絵かきしている間に自分は庭の雑草取り。
In the afternoon, while William drew pictures on the sidewalk, I tried to take care of our front yard. 

今日も暑かったので家の中に入って来てから昨日買ってきたオレンジクリームバー（アイス）を食べました🍧これ一箱に20本入っていてなんと2.98セント。安くておいしい💖
It was a hot day, so we had some orange cream bar we got yesterday. There are 20 of them in a box and it only cost 2.98! Cheap and yummy!

それから今日は図書館の夏休みのプロジェクトの一つ，塗り絵よもやりました。指示に従って決められた色で色を塗っていきます。
William did one of the assignments for the library's summer project - coloring. :) You follow the instructions and color with certain colors.

夜は，朝バランスバイク乗りに行けなかったので，夕飯後にウィリアムはブライアンと出かけて行きました。この時点で30度以上あったから暑かっただろうなあ～。お父さんと行きたいと言ってくれてよかった（笑）
In the evening, since William didn't get to go balance bike riding this morning, he wanted to go with daddy after the dinner. It was almost 7:30 pm and about 87 degrees still. I was grateful that William wanted to go with daddy. lol

今日は暑かったので，夕飯に暑いものは食べたくなくて冷たい天ぷらうどん。おいしかった～😋Since it was hot, I didn't want to eat anything hot for dinner. So I made cold tempura udon. It was yummy. 

今週末も来週もかなり暑くなるみたいだけどどうしよう。。。
The forecast says it's going to be hot this weekend and the entire next week. sigh.
