Sunday evening, my brother, also known as Pineapple's uncle, came to visit us for a night. He graduated from college this spring, and he will start working in Akita from April. Even though he was busy visiting his college friends before starting his job, he was able to make time to visit us and see how much Pineapple has grown. His original plan was to come for a few hours before going back to Akita, but I convinced him to stay longer so that he actually could spend time with her after letting her warm up.
It took her at least 30 minutes to let go of me, but then bit by bit she started to show him her crawling, waving hands, and eventually even her pantleg-climbing skills. Before she went to bed, she shared big smiles with him.
He had to leave our house early this morning, but I'm glad that we had this time together. The picture is from when Pineapple was sitting on her uncle's lap without any concern.
日曜日の夕方、私の弟、つまりパイナップルのおじさんが、一晩遊びに来てくれました。弟はこの春大学を卒業し、４月から秋田の会社で仕事をし始めます。仕事前で大学時代の友達に会ったりと忙しかったのですが、我が家に来てパイナップルの成長ぶりを見に来る時間を作ってくれました。初めは秋田に戻る前に数時間寄る予定だったのですが、娘が少しでも慣れてから一緒の時間を過ごせるように、長めにいてくれるように説得しました。
娘は私から離れられるまで３０分ほどかかりましたが、弟に少しずつハイハイをするところ、手を振るところ、しまいには弟のズボンをつかんでよじ登るところを見せてあげられました。
弟は今朝早く我が家を出なければなりませんでしたが、一緒の時間を過ごせてとても良かったです。写真はパイナップルが嫌がりもせずにおじさんの膝の上に座っているところです。
