Rainy days are here

Although the plum rain season is supposed to start in June..it feels like it is here. It is pouring outside so this is a quick post..nothing like going to bed and having the rain outside. Both kids are fast asleep. Maya is into everything at the moment and she particularly likes eating books!!Arghhh!! And today we had two full lying on the floor kicking and hitting with fists tantrums...ahhhhh she is only 15 months...She loves to eat food too:)) Saying "um" when she is hungry. Ciro came to fetch me yesterday because of the rain and they all sat inside watching a video with the kids that were waiting for their parents....Maya was terrorizing the one boy who had no interest in playing with her..running up to him shouting"ahhhhh" with a big open mouth. He kept saying "sit down baby" :)) She also gets loads of smiles when we are out walking as every person we pass gets a "bye bye"

We went to see Monsters vs Aliens last weekend. Dylan enjoyed the movie although he was a little nervous at parts. We picked up the set of toys from Mac d for him and he loves recreating everything that happened. He even had play doh forming the soil surrounding the robot probe....spent ages on it. Dylan is quiet tolerant of Maya but there have been a few pushes over the last while..he feels bad immediately when she starts crying and says "its ok". I have my hands full a bit with the two of them..if Maya is upset...Dylan gets very upset at her crying. Dylan fell and hurt himself the other day and he was crying...Maya threw herself on a pillow and started crying...so... hectic at those times but they also like laughing together!!!!!

Maya loves her doll...she walks around patting it on the head saying "bao bao" which is hug in Chinese.




Busy at work.

While playing computer games the other day Dylan got the picture of himself with Daniel and Gabriel he wanted them to 'see' the game.

At the park the other day Dylan was going through all the exercise equipment there..Maya was paying close attention...and then tried to instruct others:))



On Saturday I had to go on a field trip with school so the kids had a daddy's day! They went to the Science museum and then Mos for lunch. A fun time was had by all. Dylan got a dinosaur at the museum which Maya was excited about so she got her own colourful one. Very excited about her dino!! Dylan loved the music exhibit where you can press buttons to play the instruments.

Pics from out and about in the week...at Carrefour and on the 10 kuai rides.
