Sunday: Feng Le Park and Visit to Asung's

Saturday night's evening sleep was a bit better than Friday's night with fewer scared cries awakening Ethan and we awoke at a more usual time of 6:30am. After formula, we decided to go for a walk in the park. On the road, we gave a call to Ama and Gong Gong. Ama followed us in her car. It was a hot and gorgeous day at 7:30am . As we arrived, the Buddhist organization were setting up stands selling a variety of things. Ethan enjoyed being pushed in his stroller and got to see ducks, and turtles in Feng Le man made lake. After a leisurely circle around the park, we went across to the small shopping/eating area. Ethan loved looking at the goldfish pond that was between the stores and was enchanted as the little boy and girl next to him were throwing bits of bread for the fish to eat. He also got to meet a 1 yr old Schnauzer who was extremely well behaved and again was fascinated and engrossed in its antics. Ama went home early and Gong Gong and I decided to drop in on Asung since maybe a visit to her would cheer him up and lessen the emotional outbursts. He was a bit sleepy on the way over and when we got there, he instantly brightened and started holding out his arm to show us where he wanted us to go. As we hollered a greeting through the screen door, Asung who was watching the telly was instantly all smiles at seeing Ethan. We explained how sensitive he has been during the weekend and she agreed that he was like that on Friday as well as maybe relating the outbursts to teething and the vaccination shot and his cough. We were just planning to visit but Asung was obviously happy to see Ethan as was Ethan so she said for us to leave him with her for his morning nap. Soon Asung's grandson's came by to see Ethan too. We left Ethan playing with them. He stayed there from about 10ish to 4:30pm. He had fallen asleep and I had called around 2:30pm to check on him but he was still sleeping. Asung fed him and gave him a bath (bless her) before I went to pick him up. After coming home, it was obvious that the visit to Asung had been a good choice. Ethan was back to his happier self and only one mini crying bout. Yay! The evening sleep was not so fun. Although Ethan slept more soundly but he got mozzie bites on the side of his forehead and on his earlobe. (The mozzies in our house are so smart they don't land on the walls so its virtually impossible to kill them) I've stopped using the mozzie repellent mats and plug ins since the chemicals are not good for us but it has resulted in Ethan being bitten. (Last Thurs, he had bites on the bottoms of both feet, his calf, arm, and chin. ) GRRRRR. So today, i'm going to buy a mozzie net for our bed even though we are leaving for the UK in 3 weeks. He shouldn't have to deal with mozzie bites on top of teething, vaccine and emotional outbursts. He also sweated a lot and need clothing changes a couple of times. I'm wondering whether if this is from the vaccine or the fact that I stopped the air conditioner (Which makes booming noises as it tries to make the room cooler which kinda makes Ethan stir while sleeping.) and changed to the fan. Either way, he slept alot better than I did last night. Let's hope tonight is a good night. I'm off to get him now.
