Auntie Jeab's September visit

Auntie Jeab (Pa Jeab) was in Taipei again to attend her conference. This time, we expected to spend more time with Pa Jeab, given she planned to come on a weekend, ahead of her conference. But the typhoon forced Pa Jeab to postpone her flight and so she arrived just in time for the conference-no spare time for us again!

Never mind, Changton and mom managed squeezed some times from Pa Jeab's busy working schedule.  

Unlike Pa Jeab last time when mom and Changton camped out in Pa Jeab's room at Hyatt for 4 days and 3 nights, this time round we could manage only a one day visit. This time we had Yai Jee, Changton's nanny with us. In the morning after dad dropped us at the hotel, Changton took Yai Jee to Taipei 101 and several shopping malls around there. Changton and mom was fun but Yai Jee got a headache-she wasn't a shopping mall person.

We stopped by our favorite Chili's for lunch. Changton could do some drawings now. We kept him busy to avoid his attack on our food!!

Checked out his new wallet which came with his first ever credit card!

In the afternoon, Changton went back to the hotel for an afternoon nap. Yai Jee gave Changton a bath. In preparing him for the bath, Changton peed on a bed sheet!! It was his first time ever!!

What did I do mom?

When Pa Jeab came back, mom asked "Guess what did Changton do to your room?" "He peed", said Pa Jeab. Mom was surprised that Pa Jeab had her guessing right. "How did you know?", asked mom. "That is one of a few things he is capable of, isn't it?, replied Pa Jeab. Mom was !?!?  "Hey, how could you underestimate your nephew?", mom quickly asked her big sis.

Well, after all, Pa Jeab has every rights to think so. Mom had a big talk about Changton's new moves to Pa Jeab. But since her arrival, Changton had yet to show any of it!!

After the bath.

Rejuvinated after a power nap. We revisited Taipei 101 again in the late afternoon. We were planning to go up to the observatory area. But mom decided to wait for Changton's MD Grandpa and Grandmas who were coming to Taipei soon. So we just hung around at the ticket booth area!!

Changton enjoyed both Taipei 101 Day and Night scene!!

Exhausted from walking around, we came back to the hotel again. Before going to the room, we took Changton to play at the pool.

"Let me ask Mr. Bloomberg".

On Pa Jeab's final day in Taipei, Changton went to see his doctor for a one-year-old check up and a PCV jab. No cry again for the brave boy. So we took him out for lunch at his favorite Chili's (actually it's mom favorite ha ha!). He ate a bit of grilled chicken, pork ribs and one piece of french fries. Now he likes the crayons but he couldn't resist adults' gadgets.

"Hi, dad, we are at Chili's. Do you want some ribs?"

It was time to say goodbye to Pa Jeab.

Bye bye Pa Jeab. See you soon!!
