Bangkok Week 633

August 13, 2020

Arlo had another busy week! He explored a new play area (with a killer ball pit) and even got his very own swimming pool! Lucky boy!

Welcome to another Friday!

Mum and Dad went out for lunch at a nearby burger place.

It was surprisingly busy at lunch time.

Delicious veggie burger!

This pretty much sums up our weekend mornings, when Arlo wakes up reliably before 7.

Can we start the day yet?

Putting on his cute face.

Lucky Arlo is going to go have some fun with Dad while Mum goes to the gym.

Giant ball pit at Kidzoona Gateway Ekkamai.

Arlo sizes up the big girl - showing off how she can already walk.

These balls are the perfect size and weight for Arlo.

Why climb up the net when you can eat it instead?

Still not sure about this place.

Well, at least this alligator with wheels is fun.

Giving the snail a little push.

This play table is at a perfect height.

Uh oh! Traffic jam.

Where would you like to go?

Ah, this is much better. This is what cars are for.

Looking longingly at the boy who can walk around on 2 feet.

Yay! Reunited at last.

Arlo's pooped from his playventure though. Time for a 1-hour nap!

Next stop: a hippy dippy market in Ekkamai 6.

On the way, we passed Ms. Maria & Mr. Singh, one of Gaggan's latest ventures.

Here we are, a hippy dippy market at a newly opened space in Ekkamai 6.

It lives up to its hippy hype!

We bought 1/2 a kilo of spicy pickles. Arlo's not impressed.

Posing with a mural before we leave.

Very worried about the green dot on Dad's sleeve. Must investigate.

It's Tibetan for dinner! That must mean it's Saturday night!

Ooh, Pancake Sunday!

Arlo's happy.

Okay, hurry up lady. Serve me the rest! (He finished that whole pancake.)

Playing with his roller coaster. He finally knows how to move the beads!

Big smile!

Practically twins!

Monday morning: Dad left early, so it's just the two of us.

Looking cute, again.

Really having a go at this Granny Smith apple. (The apple doesn't stand a chance.)

Hey hey heeeeey! It's a holidaaaaay!

In fact, it's Mother's Day! Happy Mum's Day, Mum!

Arlo ordered Mum a very special breakfast, fresh out of the oven.

Arlo wishing his Yaa a Happy Mother's Day - and showing off his new standing skillz at the same time.

More drain goodness on the balcony.

Laundry basket is full again! Better go do another wash.

Arlo is not impressed.

Quick trip down to Decathalon to pick up some things.

Learning how to play darts.

Then Arlo took mum to Greyhound for lunch.

But by that time, Arlo was too tired and would rather be home.

He found a new window to look out. It even comes with a convenient handle.

Caught red-handed!

Trying out Arlo's new purchase!

Arlo's own personal swimming pool! Lucky Arlo!

He's very intrigued by the stacking cup waterfall.

The cups are fun toy... as are the leaves on the plants.

You! Quit taking photos!

Dad's dutifully watering Arlo, to help him grow faster.

Enjoying themselves.

Yay! Arlo can play in the water and pick the leaves.

One final round of splash-splash-splash!

Aww. Is it over already?

Oh boy! Arlo's first time trying (chocolate) ice cream! Initial verdict: too cold!

Verdict revised a few minutes later: this really is delicious!

Thursday morning, practicing some "walking".

That's all, folks! See you next time!
