Today Dylan seemed to have gotten off the wrong side of bed - cried/tantrummed quite a bit since morning for being refused fried chicken which was prepared for lunch. Oh boy, it's such a tiring day - happens whenever Dylan has difficulty falling asleep for nap, climbing all over me. He also bumped his forehead as he was tired but struggled. So I rented a carcoop car thinking he will surely fall asleep on the way to Botanic Gardens, but he was quite excited throughout the journey (also meddling with the aircon & other controls like windscreen wiper) and only fell asleep in his stroller when we finally reached Palm Valley for the Jazz concert. Nice vocals and music but he slept through it, while Jurgen and I relaxed and munched on satays & cheese nachos.
After concert was over, I woke him & got him to walk a little. Indeed he was more alert when walking on the elevated stretch of seat surrounding the concert stage. Then he was much happier, and cooperated even when it got dark and held on to my hand, later Dad's, nicely walking. He was particularly excited when we were at the waterfalls - glad that he was able to walk through, and followed my lead, without becoming fixated.
Overall, not so easy to engage today, but also not so bad.
