(子どもがこんな風に素直に甘えてくれる時期って本当に短い。応えられる時は、応えてあげたいですね。甘える理由がきっとあると思うから。)
けんたが、最近赤ちゃん返りのようなことをする。
もともと抱っこは好きだけど、最近は赤ちゃんみたいに胸をさわって
「ママはあったかくて気持ちいいから好き」って言う。
１人で入るようになっていたお風呂も最近再び
「一緒に入って。抱っこして、身体と頭を洗ってほしい！」
私が仕事に行くときに、赤ちゃんみたいに大泣きするのはちょっと困るけど．．．私がけんたと過ごせなかった赤ちゃん期間を埋め合わせたいと思っているように、けんたも赤ちゃんの時にみんながお母さんにしてもらっていることを、いま取り戻そうとしているのかなあ～と思ったり。
特別養子縁組を決意して、パパの安定感がでてきた気がする我が家。いろんな意味でこれからがスタートです。
(I believe it's quite a short period of time in life for children wanting to be pampered. If we have time and room for it, let them pampered. There must be a reason for it.)
Here is Kenta....acting like as if he is going back to his babyhood. He all along likes Dacco for sure, but now he touches my chest like
a baby saying " I love to feel you as you are warm and cozy"...
Though he can manage to take a bath himself now, he recently requests me...
"Let's take a bath together. Could you do dacco (hugging/cuddling) and wash my body and head, please!!"
It's kind of a headache for me to see him cry aloud when I leave home for work.....but, like I want to make up the lost time of his
babyhood that we had missed each other, or by the same token, Kenta may want to do the same from me by possibly filling the missing link in which he would have enjoyed in his babyhood if he
had a mother then... like other kids went though a good time with their mothers. That's what I think....
Upon deciding ourselves to be foster-parents (under special legitimate parent-child match), I see a confident stability coming along
within Kenta's dad (my husband) at home. We are now on our starting point in many ways.
