【family blog】孫たちの春休み

孫たちの春休み。

定年退職したので、６歳と４歳の孫と遊園地に行きました。

「ジジと一緒に乗る！」と孫たちに取り合いされるのも、悪い気はしません。

我が家に泊まり、みんなでお風呂に入り…まあ～見事なまでのハイテンション！

そして、翌日は雨。

もう大変です！

お菓子を出したり、ゲームをしたり、YouTubeでごまかしたり…まあ～一日の長いこと。

トイザらスに行って、ダイソーに行って、ヤマダ電機に行って、スシローに行って…。

そして、気づきます。

こんな風にして、妻たちは、子育てを頑張ってたんだなぁ。

娘の家に、婿殿の親戚の大学に入学するお兄ちゃんと社会人になるお姉ちゃんが来るというので、お祝いに、抹茶のケーキを作って届けました。

「みんな美味しいって言ってたよ！」

孫が娘よりもはやく教えてくれて…、なんだか心が温かくなりました。

「勇気出して食べてみる」

孫娘は抹茶のケーキにTRYして、「美味しい」って…ニコっとしてくれました。

 

 

Spring Break with My Grandchildren

Since I retired, I took my 6-year-old and 4-year-old grandchildren to an amusement park.

“I want to ride with Grandpa!” they said, fighting over who would sit with me. I’m a little bit proud of myself.

They stayed over at my house, and we all took a bath together… They were so excited that our neighbor would be able to hear their voices.

Then, the next day came—and it was raining.

It was quite a challenge!

I tried keeping them entertained with snacks, games, and YouTube, but the day felt incredibly long.

We went to Toys “R” Us, Daiso, Yamada Denki, and finally to Sushiro.

And then, it hit me.

This is how my wife worked so hard raising our children.

At my daughter’s house, my son-in-law’s relatives were coming over to celebrate his cousin entering university and his nephew starting his career.

So, I made a matcha cake and brought it over as a gift.

“Everyone said it was delicious!”

Before my daughter could even tell me, my grandchild excitedly shared the news. That simple moment filled my heart with warmth.
