One Day in Our Life with Sen Sen Solomon Soup

This is only our fourth full day in Taipei, but we are settling in to a pleasant pattern.

This morning, we walked out to try a new breakfast stop, before going to the market for fresh vegetables.

This spot is a little further from the apartment but it's convenient if we want to shop for vegetables.  Absolutely no English spoken here.  All the customers are regulars and I was definitely in the way.  However, I held steady in my spot in line and managed to order "shao bing jia dan bing" for Taylor, and "tong you bing" for me.  The result was, we got what I ordered.  We decided the food was better than our regular restaurant, so we will be back.

With our stomachs filled with egg, we purchased a cart load of vegetables from the market and returned to the apartment to receive Sen Sen Solomon Soup. David dropped him off on his way to work for a full day of fun with Grandma and Grandpa.

The first order of business is to open day 5 on the advent calendar.  Solomon manages to get the ornament on the tree.  It's really hard not to open day 25 - it has the biggest number and looks the most interesting to this young fellow.

Now it's time to sing "I've been working on the railroad" with grandpa.

It's a rainy day, but we feel that a trip to the little park near the apartment will help burn off a little energy, so off we go.

The children's equipment is pretty wet, but the grown up strider works just fine.

Striding is even better when Grandpa joins in.  And it gets better when we all sing "I've been working on the railroad."  We are all so happy to provide entertainment for everyone else enjoying the park.

To get out of the rain, we go to the bookstore to read some stories and to buy a new Peppa Pig book.  Then it's home for lunch, stories and nap time.

Our day is only at the half way mark.  Fortunately, Taylor and I each got a little nap, and Chia will come to the apartment around 4:00.  I think Taylor would agree with me that these are some of the best days ever.  And, we still have 26 days to go.
