Monday's mission

Hey! Okay, i know you all have been waiting for this post so here it is. In Taiwan, when the first born son (Adam) gives birth to his first born son, it is tradition to send sticky rice and two pic eggs to those who have send your son gifts. Sorry we couldn't send any to the states, canada or the uk. So briefly here is how the day went.
6:30am
Adam and I both get up and take turns alternating between looking after Ethan and getting showered.

7:15am We go and buy breakfast on our way to the hospital.

8:30am
Ethan, mom and dad arrive at the hospital to get Ethan's Hep B booster. Mommy refused to go in and witness the process so dad bravely went in with Ethan, held his arm and legs down to his screams and then as the shot was given, Ethan screamed in so much pain- no sound came out.
So he quickly picked Ethan up after the shot and Ethan fell asleep cuddled and reassured against Adam's chest.
10:00am Adam gets a haircut.
11:00am
75 boxes and 75 pairs of pink hardboiled eggs arrive at the house.
12:30- 6:00pm
Mom, Dad and Ethan drive all over Taichung delivering the rice and eggs to the highschool wand elementary school where Joanne works, Adam's workplace, A-ma's friends while also showing off how handsome Ethan is. Ethan pretty much slept through most of the experience except for complaining VERY LOUDLY while in his car seat.
6:30 pm
A-ma and Gong- Gong come over to look after Ethan while an exhausted Adam and Joanne get a few hrs sleep.
Then Adam took over the evening shift where I took over the morning shift.
...Photos to come....
Joanne
And that was a the major outing
