昨日は二番目の娘の幼稚園の卒業式がありました、子供はすぐに大きくなるのですが自分もそれなり年をとっているんだろう。来月から小学校に上がるので子供としていられるのは後すこしです。上の子は学校に上がったときを思い出すとあっという間に小さい社会人になったのでちょっと寂しかったです。それと今まで宿題を一人分を見ていたのにこれから二人分を見なきゃいけない。。。これは結構大変です！
Yesterday it was my second daughter's final day in the kinder garden. In Japan it is a big thing to graduate from kinder garden, and we held a party with all the parents and teachers. I guess it is a big thing for the kids, because most of them have been together for the last 3 years, but now that they are starting school the group is being split up in 9 different places. But some of the other kids are also going to join the same class as my daughter. I don't think I can remember any of the kids I went to kinder garden with, because we moved around a bit when I was a kid. Anyway, they all grow up so fast and before you know it we will all be old and gray, hopefully sitting on a porch somewhere looking at the setting sun with a nice cold beer in my hand. "Hey! Grandpa? can you come help me with my bicycle...the chain fell off" I might be getting ahead of myself here, but I guess it is all right to have an idea of where you want to end up.
