In the park with Amber アンバーと公園にいた

This morning, while mom took an early Mother's Day rest, I took Amber in the car to Chung-cheng (Jhong-jheng) Park.

今朝車でアンバーといっしょに中正公園へ行った。

Amber loves being outdoors, and I let her choose which direction we should walk. Naturally, she always wanted to go up, which meant much of the time I had to carry her up steps that were too high for a 16 month-old to scale. Who would've thought a morning in the park with a toddler would end up becoming a workout?

アンバーは外に出ることが大好きだ。

Amber: Daddy, who's the man in the statue?

Me: That's an evil man in Taiwan's recent history.

Amber: Why is there a statue of him?

Me: Unfortunately Amber, as you get older, you'll learn that many people are a little fuzzy on the difference between good and bad.

One thing Amber really got a kick out of at Chung-cheng Park was feeding the carp.

In the late afternoon, shortly after coming home from work, I joined Amber and Pamela on the roof of our apartment building. Another thing that Amber really enjoys is looking at the view. She wanted to get up as high as she could in order to see everything. It worries me sometimes that my daughter doesn't seem to be afraid of heights.

アンバーは高所恐怖症じゃない。
