View fullsize Saying good bye to K. Noi on Friday night, before the long weekend. View fullsize Arlo finishes his dinner by savoring every bite of the broccoli. View fullsize Saturday morning! Four-day weekend! Yay! View fullsize Having a chat with Penguin 2. View fullsize Going to a "co-playing space" in a community mall in Thonglor to meet one of Arlo's friends. View fullsize Yes! This is Arlo's motto! 😅 View fullsize They had lots of fun new toys to play with (read: eat), like this ice cream! View fullsize And this walker. View fullsize Everyone is enamored by the wheels on the bus! (Because they go round-and-round!) View fullsize Arlo the musician, giving the maracas a good shake shake shake! View fullsize Found the winning attraction! The ball pit! View fullsize Up to his eyes in balls. Literally. View fullsize Arlo can't believe his luck. In fact, he's overwhelmed. View fullsize And even better - a slide right into the balls! View fullsize Woah! View fullsize Break time! Snack time! View fullsize Arlo's having a great time. View fullsize Taking a bit of a rest on the giant soft Brown bear. View fullsize Having a good laugh with dad. It's a great opportunity to inspect Arlo's chompers. View fullsize New day, new fun awaits. View fullsize Arlo starts by inventorying all his books. View fullsize Eating an entire whole banana by himself. View fullsize Practicing his standing by the window -- one of his favorite places to stand. View fullsize Inspecting his new walker. He's not sure yet what to do with it. View fullsize Oh no! Where's Mum going? View fullsize Mum! Take me to the gym too, Mum! View fullsize Arlo stays home to play with (eat) his cars, instead. View fullsize A late-afternoon get-together with Arlo's friends. And lucky for him, they have a condo with a kiddie pool! View fullsize Arlo's distracted by the fancy driving car toy that another family has. View fullsize Still distracted by the giant car. At least he doesn't realize how chilly the water is! View fullsize Finally, practicing his kicks. View fullsize Arlo and Sally show off their special 'high chairs'. View fullsize "Arlo did it!" View fullsize In return, Arlo fixes Sally's hair. View fullsize Monday morning! We're visiting the Sea Life aquarium in the basement of Paragon. View fullsize Arlo seems interested in the fish. View fullsize Wow, that's a big crab. A Giant Spider Crab! (The kind they serve at the Japanese restaurant around the corner from our house?) View fullsize None of us had ever seen vertical fish like these before! View fullsize More clown fish - which Arlo needs to point out with his toes. View fullsize Two playful otters. View fullsize And a giant fish that could eat Arlo in a single gulp. View fullsize Arlo loves penguins. But this is his first time seeing them in real life! African penguins. View fullsize The penguins seemed content enough, despite living underground... View fullsize Waving as a giant turtle does a fly-by. View fullsize Wow! That is a big aquarium tank! View fullsize Uh oh! Guess what's coming next! View fullsize The giant shark tunnel! View fullsize Actually, it was pretty impressive. Definitely the highlight of the aquarium. View fullsize Umm. Shark! View fullsize More sharks! View fullsize Family shot with the sharks! View fullsize Arlo's not impressed. He's already seen lots of fish today. View fullsize There's stadium seating to watch all the fish in the giant tank. View fullsize Quite mesmerizing. View fullsize Last exhibit: the Gentoo Penguins. View fullsize These guys also seemed to be enjoying themselves, despite their living conditions. View fullsize They seemed to be interacting with the visitors. View fullsize Arlo was intrigued. View fullsize Bye-bye! Please come again! View fullsize Stopping for snack time, before heading home. View fullsize What? Shopping? Can't we just go back? View fullsize Poor Arlo, being used as a photo prop, when all he wants to do is go home and sleep. View fullsize Out like a light, not a minute after leaving the mall. View fullsize Back home and refreshed; time to do some people-watching! View fullsize Looking handsome. View fullsize Hey! This is fun! View fullsize Uh oh! Houston, we have a problem! A little boy flashing all the tea-goers. View fullsize Eager to see what all is going on outside his play area. View fullsize Sigh. Eating dinner is tiring. View fullsize Dad, showing off his fancy beer mug! View fullsize Tuesday morning; the long weekend is still going! View fullsize Arlo can't believe his luck! View fullsize What fun activities are we going to do today, guys? View fullsize First activity: a quick stop at Uncle Kiat and Auntie Jaa's house. View fullsize Next stop: IKEA! Arlo's first time. He's overwhelmed. View fullsize Then we had a big of an accident with a roll of cookies which, needless to say, we ended up purchasing. View fullsize Looking longingly at the lucky boy in the mirror covered in chocolate cookie crumbs. View fullsize Snack break! Where Arlo can only focus on one thing. View fullsize This nifty pack of cars! So many wheels! View fullsize Eyeing his beautiful new police car, with so many delicious round wheels. View fullsize And there it goes. Right where it belongs. View fullsize Uh oh! Look what we woke up to on Wednesday morning! View fullsize Arlo's last swimming class of the term -- it was a full one! View fullsize Arlo got lots of practice jumping off the edge of the table into the water. View fullsize And he swam to fetch the ball many times. View fullsize This green ball is more interesting. The pink one is old hat. View fullsize No lesson is complete without some back stroke time. View fullsize Saying good-bye to all his swimming friends. View fullsize Thursday fun with K. Noi! Off to a music session. View fullsize Arlo was rockin' his maracas. (He had good practice on Saturday.) View fullsize Back at home, standing watch at his window.
