「もう乳児院での抱っこはやめようか．．．．。」

そんな気持ちにさえなった前回のぐるーん抱っこデー。
だって、張り切って抱っこしに行った私をおチビちゃん達は一斉に激しく拒否！
食事を手伝おうとしただけで号泣！
訳が分からぬまま、むなしく家路に着いたのでした．．．．．。

ところが今回は、ショックから立ち直れずにいる私をみんなが笑顔でお出迎え。

きよみちゃんとの「手がくっついたごっこ！」（握手をした後、「手がくっついちゃった～」と離さない遊び）

 
りゅうたろうくんとの「ポニポニン」（ほっぺや腕など「ポニポニ」と言いながらもみ合う）

 
かずくんとの「とっちゃいやいや」（かずくんがエプロンの刺繍を取ろうとするのを大げさにいやがる遊び）

など、得意なオリジナル遊び全開。いつも通り、楽しい時間を過ごせました。

前回は一体なんだったのか？！
子ども心と初夏の空は変わりやすいのか？！
とにもかくにも、抱っこ三昧を満喫したのでした。

I was almost inclined to discontinue hugging the infants tenderly (or cuddling them) at this infant facility---To be honest, that's how I was depressed about the result of  the last "Gruun's Dakko-Day" (or Gruun's Love Cuddle Day)...You know what...I was in high spirits and was ready for my big hug for those cute fellows, but they all violently rejected.

Then when I tried to help them eat, they began crying out for no reason. Leading one thing to another without knowing why, I had to go home in vain.

Though I haven't recovered yet from the shocking disappointment, on the contrary, all those gangs this time greeted me with their smiling welcome!

We played our own custom-made crazy extravaganza with each kid---

with Kimiyo-chan "Our hands are sticking together" (game: after shaking our hands, we try not to detach our palms while keeping sticking together saying "my palm is glued to yours"....,

with Ryutaro-kun "Soften the skin" (game: saying "Soften the skin" while we rub and knead our cheeks and arms each other,

with Kazu-kun "No,don't take, just leave it alone"(game: pretend to act expressing an exaggerated complaint..no, no... against Kazu-kun's stealing of the embroidered design on my apron.

etc....etc..I expressed a lot of my original specialities as if they were almost running out.

--------Now I wonder what in the world my last visit was?

Can the mind of kids and  the sky in early summer days be same and inconstant?
