Today was Dragon Kids gathering; the Japanese play group of babies born in the year of dragon 2012. Maya is still the youngest in the growing group.
I was thinking she will watch and learn how to crawl from other kids, but she wasn't interested.
She sat in front of this toy and kept closing those guys for hour and half.
She didn't learn how to open them. She just wanted to close them.
She also moved pretty fast lying on her back and pushing towards her head direction with her sticky feet on this slippery floor mat.
I held her up standing position and let her balance holding onto exersaucer.
She did pretty good balancing.
After doing that for a while she forgot how to bend her knees.
She tried to stand with her legs and arms straight with feet and hands on the ground.
That didn't work.
辰年キッズの龍の子会。
相変わらずマヤが一番年下。
先輩方のことを見てハイハイの技を盗むかなー、と思いきや、
ずーっとここに座って幸せそうにこのおもちゃで遊んでた。
1時間半くらい同じ遊び。閉めるだけ。
開けるのはできないから、近くにいるお母さんが飽きずにずっと開けてくれて、
マヤはとにかくこのアニマル達を閉めるだけ。
Do you wanna know what she's doing?
She is studying how to brush teeth.
はみがきの歌で歯磨きの基礎を学ぶマヤ。
And now.
今、寝てる様子。
zzzz.....
This morning, she told me she needs diaper change by fussing, making face and grabbing her diaper. And in the afternoon, she told me she is hungry and wants to eat something with the correct sign language I've been showing; opening and closing her mouth 'pa-pa-pa-pa' and putting her right hand fingers closed and moving in and out her mouth.
She may had been tying to do those before, but it was the first time today, I clearly understand what she is trying to tell me.
It feels amazing.
She is growing.
毎日かんたんな決まった文句だけ手話を繰り返し見せていたんだけど、
今日初めて「おなかすいた、なんか食べたい」って。
はっきりと解る動きで教えてくれました。
すごーい!ほんとに手話、言葉より先に出来る様になるんだー!!
今日はオムツ替えのタイミングもグズグズっとして、履いてるオムツを掴んで教えてくれて、なんだか新たなステージに来たなぁ。。。という感じ。
マヤとコミュニケーションとれるようになるんだー。
楽しいなー♡♡
