The Quiet Life

Craig has been living a quiet life for the past week or so. Back on Thursday (May 7), Craig had brunch at LA Cafe where he ate heaps and then went for a walk around inside.


Since he had so much energy Craig's parents thought it would best for him to work some of it off on a nearby jungle gym.


One day later, Craig spent the afternoon at a park....


playing with his cousin Soit-Jade.


On Saturday Craig was at another park with his two cousins again.


Sometimes Craig like to keep a safe distance between himself and Soit-Jade.


On Sunday morning, Craig was at the park nearest home with Craig's Dad.


But, he must have woken up too early that day because he had a very long nap in the late afternoon while Craig's Dad was at work. Then, he stayed awake until after midnight watching football on the TV with his Dad.


Craig is undergoing toilet training at the moment (again) but nappies are still a necessity. Craig was very happy about going shopping on Monday morning because he had been dreadfully bored at home. He surprised the young woman at the cash register by telling her that the elevator next to the register had been repaired in perfect Mandarin.

Craig: 電梯修好了
Sales clerk: 你的國語好標準

After that little exchange Craig insisted on carrying the bag of nappies home.


He stopped for a rest outside of a Buddhist bookshop that has a tiny fishpond out the front. It's really very cute even if the road noise means it is not as peaceful as one might hope.


It had been a very hot walk so Craig had insisted on buying a drink before returning home. He likes yoghurt.


Craig spent Monday afternoon at a new park that has been built next to a not-yet-opened MRT station on the soon-to-be-opened Neihu line.


It had a sandpit! Craig's Mum said the sand was very clean! That's pretty unusual in Taipei.


On the way home in the car Yu-chi tried on Craig's cap!


Then, Soit-Jade joined in the game! It makes you wonder why they needed to wear a cap inside the car......
