阿丹和婆婆；Adan and my mother-in-law

小芥：阿丹雖然比樂高早進來我的夫家兩週，可是，樂高早就跟新的阿公阿嬤很熟了。阿丹是屬於慢熟的貓，很慢很慢，就像太上老君的丹爐煉「丹」。要很有耐性，才會變成真正感情好。
Michico : Although Adan was earlier coming to the new home than Lego 2 weeks, but Lego has already very good with my father & mother-in-law. Adan hasn't. Adan is the type of "slow slow slow" you have to be very patient, like my father with him, if you can take enough long time, you could be good with him.
我婆婆非常努力的想要接近阿丹，在跟樂高玩了一下後，總是會回頭看看阿丹在哪，跟他親近一下。阿丹不是每一次都會出現在容易接近的地點，他通常喜歡躲避到高處。今天他的心情不錯，想要跟阿嬤有點交流。
My mother-in-law is really trying, everytime she plays with Lego for a while, she will always turn her head back finding Adan, tries to be close to him a bit. Adan doesn't show up everytime, he often hides at the top of the closet today, I guess Adan has good mood, he wants to have some connection with grandma.
我其實非常佩服而且感動我婆婆的耐性，可能跟她當過20年幼稚園老師有關係，她就站在阿丹旁邊也不打擾他，輕輕和阿丹說話，阿丹有時候看窗外、有時候看牆壁，有時候會凝望著她。我婆婆會提細聲音，慢慢小聲跟阿丹說：「阿丹，我是你阿嬤耶。」噢讓我心頭好暖喔。
I actually very admire my mother-in-law's patient, perphaps she was a kindergarten teacher for 20 years. She just stand there and not bothering Adan, gently talk to Adan. Sometimes Adan sees outside, sometimes sees the wall, sometimes watches into her eyes. My mother-in-law whisper to Adan " Adan, I am your grandma~" Oah that makes me really touched~
時間也許不會這麼快，我爸花了11年多，才讓阿丹喜歡他。才讓阿丹願意隨便老爹搓揉他的肚肚，蹭蹭。究竟阿丹會用多少時間真正蹭蹭黏上我公婆，我沒辦法保證，但是阿丹已經跟我婆婆很熟了，有時候還會哈哈氣、拍拍掌，表達很多種意思。我知道阿丹可以體會，我婆婆是充滿著善意。阿丹是非常聰明、有智慧的。
My dad uses over 11 years, finally makes Adan likes him, let my father rub his tummy, actually Adan will use how much time like my father & mother-in-law, I can't guarantee, but Adan is really familiar with my mother-in-law, he sometimes little hiss or use his paw do gently wrap in the air, and meiow meiow to her, he wants to say many things. I knew Adan really understanding that my mother-in-law is very very friendly to him.
小芥：「丹，你也好棒，你也在努力跟阿嬤交朋友喔。姨姨知道你比較容易適應新環境，比較不容易適應新朋友，可是姨姨知道你很努力，有一直在看著、體會著每個新家族成員喔。」
Michico : " Adan-dan, you are so great, too. I know you are working really hard to making new friends with grandma! I know you can get with new environment easily but making friends slowly, but I know you are trying make friends with every new family members! "
阿丹本週六就要屆滿12歲，進入13歲的第一天了。我很驕傲，12歲的阿丹還在努力開拓新的友誼圈喔，換算成人類，已經是八十多歲的阿公囉。
Adan will be 12 years old this Saturday, I am so proud of him are still making new friends at his age. I am very very proud!
