It was really good weather, so I thought I’d go out sometimes because I feel like my mind is broken, so I went out after work this morning. The children were better than usual this morning. The 4-year-old had her hair braided by her mom and looked so happy with the ribbon she was bought yesterday. “Look!!!” she showed it to me and her dad with a happy smile. She came and asked me to take her picture, so I took a few. Afterwards, I went to Starbucks and worked on the laptop. It was refreshing to be able to do it in a different place than usual. (I’ve written a new article, so please take a look if you’re interested!)
After going home, I played a lot of games with the children. playdough, outside play, playing with toys, drawing pictures, crafting… We played a lot, but their concentration doesn’t last very long, so they quickly get bored with it all or end up fighting. As my father told me yesterday, I tried to imagine an ideal person and act like that when I spent time with my children, and as the host mother told me, I started playing other games next to them while they were crying. I felt like the children showed interest, and I was able to interact with them more effectively than usual.I was making crafts with construction paper next to them who were drawing, and when I asked them “Do you wanna to make it?”, they got enthusiastic and started making something. After they finished, their eyes lit up and they started playing. Bath time was difficult as usual (omitted). My emotions were swinging like a roller coaster. Somehow, I managed to get through today too.
p.s. The Summer I Turned Pretty makes me so emotional! It’s painful in my heart…!
今日は朝から天気が良くて、たまには外に出ないと心が終わるから出かけようと思っていたので朝の仕事の後、外に出た。朝の子どもたちはいつもよりご機嫌。4歳の子はママに三つ編みしてもらって昨日買ってもらったリボンをつけてご満悦。「Look!!!」と私やパパに嬉しそうに見せていた。「写真撮って」とこちらに来たので何枚か撮ると嬉しそうにしていた。その後スタバに行って、パソコン作業。いつもと違う場所でできたからリフレッシュできた。（新しい記事できたからよかったらみてね）
帰ってきて、今日は子どもたちといろいろなことをして遊んだ。ねんど遊び、外遊び、おもちゃ、お絵かき、クラフト…色々やるけど子どもの集中力ってそう長くは持たないから、全部すぐに飽きるかケンカして終わってしまう。昨日父に言われた通り、理想とする人を思い浮かべて成り切って子どもたちと過ごしたり、ママから言われていた通り、泣いている隣で他の遊びを始めてみると、子どもたちが興味を示したり、関わりをいつもよりうまくもてた気がする。お絵描きをしている子どもたちの横で画用紙で工作をして、「作ってみたい？」と聞くと、ノリノリで作り始めた。完成した後は目を輝かせて遊んでいた。お風呂はまた普段通り大変（省略）。自分の情緒がジェットコースター並みに揺れている。なんとか今日も乗り切った。
p.s. The Summer I Turned Pretty えぐい！心が苦しい、、、！
