Art museum





We had our staff dinner last night at a Japanese barbeque restaurant, Dylan still doesn't seem too keen on meat but loved the rice/seaweed porridge! We have had a lot of meetings recently and next week is going to be really busy so we tried to get out for some relax time today. Went to the art museum because Dylan loves running on the grass there and there is a really cool play area inside for the kids. Only problem is he likes to destroy the pebble displays in the museum. Amused the locals running around and jumping in puddles , in winter!!! Still after lots of running around he passed out on the way home..there goes any kind of early night for us!!

At the museum he was following these three beautiful girls around...already!!

Thursday



I hate it when i have the most convincing feeling that is is Friday when it is actually Thursday. Have been off with the days most of the week. Something must be out of alignment. Oh well, it is getting really cold in the evenings now but that does not seem to concern warm blooded Dylan..still throws his covers off most of the time (i can hear my mom laughing as i know I was the same) Got these pics in the bath the other night ...a real typical Dylan look!!

He was actually such a trooper when i decided to pop in at the optometrists yesterday as it looked so empty (usually busting at the seams in the evening) had my eyes checked and everything with him on my lap...and he stayed there happily!!! with no incentive!!! Turns out the reason my glasses not so effective is partly because my eyes are worse and parlt becasue Dylan has bent my glasses so out of shape that with my stigmatism that makes a big difference.."oh can i get contacts then instead?" I ask thinking that would be a good solution. Apparently my stigmatisn is vertical not horizontal and also at an unusual angle..so not advisable... Really unhappy about that becuse was looking forward to getting rid of the glasses..

A real "Sunday drive"



Woke up this morning and just wanted to roll over and do nothing for the rest of the day. It looked cold and miserable outside. BUT... our mechanic fitted the car with a new radiator to "try"for a week before paying for it. So today was the day we would have time to do that... we had to get up. Decided not to go too far as originally planned and headed to the Daken area north -east of Taichung. There are loads of scenic stops along the way. We stopped at one place that had baby pigs ( Ciro waxed lyrical about the fate of these poor piggies) Dylan enjoyed shouting at them for a bit until he spotted a ten dollar ride and then that was all he wanted.


Carried on a long and winding road to Lavender cottage which produces lavender goodies and has a large garden area to walk around in ..fun for Dylan we thought...he fell asleep in the car and stayed asleep until we got back in the car. Plan was to have lunch there until the waiter said we would ahve a 1 hour wait..uh...no thanks. The place is very popular and I guess Sunday is an especially busy day.Carried on to a place called Annies garden to have lunch...very scenic area and the food was good too. Even Dylan who has not been too happy about eating the last few days(teething..we think) ate a bit of everything and loved the tomato pasta ( we have never managed to get him to even try some before) so were very excited. The garden was nice to run around in too. All in all a good day was had and hopefully Dylan will go to bed early after having such an early nap...we'll see!

Dylan in the park





Okay so this is take two...pc crashed on me. After gym yesterday my back was really sore so went off to the twei na doc (chinese meds)Feeling better and the l;ingering smell of chinese meds is very soothing. We had some errands to run today and took Dylan to the park in between..he had a lot of fun (see pics). We also took him to a play area in the dept, store where he smacked another kid for no reason what so ever...oh dear, had a talk to him adn he was better after that but of course the other kid stayed far away. He was exhausted afterwards and has been asleep for the past 3 hours...oh dear there goes sleep tonight. We tried to get him to go to sleep early last night, thinking he would pass out with us and then we could watch a movie or something. He just really is not sleepy and so the con backfired...while waiting for him to fall asleep we fell asleep... my punishment for always taking long to fall asleep myself at that age.

Paul coming round later with his nintendo wii game system...wants Dylan to try. hope i don't have to run around looking for a replacement controller tomorrow.

Dylan's christmas

Just back from a great christmas hol in SA. It was great to see the family especially at christmas time. Dylan was teething and got tonsilitis so grumpy at times, but overall had a great time at granny and grandpa's house and at granny's house. He loved playing outside and enjoyed the dogs at the two houses.Posting pics from the trip.
Lots of playing in mud and with water.
