63 Mason's First Visit to Party at Friend's House - 2013

2013年　初めてお友達の家にお呼ばれする

キャンプで一緒だったアレックスくんという見た所 普通の子供と変らない男の子から家に招待されメイソンにとって初めての’お友達の家’の訪問となった。

Alex, we met at a camp, invited Mason to his house.

Alex looks like he has no special disorders.

This was Mason's first visit to his friend's house. 

アレックスくんもレゴが大好きでたくさん飾ってあったが、
その中に壊れてどうしても直せないというレゴがあった。

Alex also likes LEGO very much and there were a lot of LEGOs assembled, in his house.

One of them were broken and he could not figure out how to fix it though he really tried.

それを見たメイソンは手にとりすぐにその壊れた箇所を直してしまい
アレックスくんとご両親に感心されたらしい。

Mason looked at it, and fixed it so easily.  Alex and his parents were so impressed with it.

アレックスくんがうちに遊びに来た時は肩を組んで飛び跳ねて
再会を喜び合っていた。

When we invited back Alex to our house, they were so happy to have met again and were jumping around, shoulder to shoulder.

友達が出来るとうれしいよね！

It's so nice to have a friend, isn't it!

その光景をみている方もとてもハッピーな気分になったのは言うまでもない。
It surely made us happy looking at them playing together.
しかし残念ながら翌年はキャンプで会う事もなくそのままになってしまった。
But unfortunately, he did not come to the camp next year and we do not see Alex since.
メイソンは結構キャンプで「お友達になりたい」オファーをいただき人気がある。
Mason is quite popular at the camp and receives many "I wanna be a friend of you" offers.
ほとんど会話が成立しないのにオファーがあるのだ。

He hardly can exchange practical conversations, still, he receives offers.

そんな時いつもマミーは
「あ〜メイソンがもう少し話せればな〜〜」

「そしたら友達がいっぱいできるのになぁ…」
That is the time Mommy always says to herself,

"How I wish if Mason could talk a little more . . ."
"Then, he could make many many friends . . ."


（大丈夫！きっとお友達がいっぱいできるようになるよ！と私・・・）

("Don't worry!  He will soon be able to make many friends!"  I say to her . . .)
