View fullsize Quick refresh of Arlo's portrait for some documents: it's much, much, much easier now! View fullsize Celebrating "Songkran" with lunch at Greyhound. View fullsize Look at that neat drawing on the wall! View fullsize Quality time with Dad. View fullsize And this is why Arlo prefers hanging out with Dad. (Just trying on some shower accessories at Daiso.) View fullsize Mission accomplished! Extricating a sleeping Arlo from the car and relocating him... without waking him up. View fullsize Refreshed, and ready to play some more. Quick call to his Yaa. View fullsize I think Arlo has enough toys. View fullsize Quick stop at EmQuartier on our way to the park. View fullsize Ooh, what colorful ribbons. (These have been up since pre-COVID...) View fullsize The playground at the park is for kids 1 year and older. We snuck Arlo in anyway. View fullsize He wasn't thrilled. "Guys, I think we're breaking the rules!" View fullsize Arlo, that's a dead give-away. View fullsize Trying on the tunnel for size. View fullsize This is more Arlo's speed, but unfortunately, we forgot the mat in the car. View fullsize He's comfortable when sitting on people... View fullsize ...but miserable when made to sit directly on the prickly grass! View fullsize Wonder what Arlo sees. Probably not a wheel up there. View fullsize He was fascinated by the volleyball and takraw games. View fullsize And the skateboarders are pretty neat, too. (Or maybe just their skateboards.) View fullsize Saturday morning! Someone's all spiffy and ready for his playgroup. View fullsize It's hosted at a nursery school in Ekkamai 6 (the BigC soi). View fullsize Arlo made a bee-line for the manly car. View fullsize Hey, this car has a wheel inside, too. View fullsize Checking out the rear wheels. View fullsize And totally bored when dropped into the driver's seat. View fullsize Hey! Guys! A parking garage! That must mean there are cars nearby. View fullsize Arlo found one of his favorite books, in board format. View fullsize OHMYGOODNESS. Stop the presses. Wheels! View fullsize Bonus. Someone put cars on the table. View fullsize Time to play at the water table. View fullsize Snack break! View fullsize And circle time before leaving. View fullsize Plink plink plink!

View fullsize Practicing his standing: jutting out your bum just a bit is essential to maintaining balance. View fullsize Seeing eye-to-eye with Dad. View fullsize Quick trip to Donki. There's a group of food trucks parked there now. View fullsize Arlo found what he came for. View fullsize Sunday morning: pucker up! View fullsize Group shot. View fullsize My cutiepie!

The long weekend is still going strong! Dad tries to read Arlo a new book. View fullsize Having pizza for lunch: Arlo's in seventh heaven. View fullsize Arlo can't get enough pizza! View fullsize A visit to Kidzoona, which is free for Arlo until he turns 1. Quick, better go! View fullsize Primary entertainment, of course. View fullsize Brief stop at the police. View fullsize Ball pit. Too many balls to possibly taste them all. View fullsize Oh my goodness. A race track. Gotta push this trike around it! View fullsize And a shopping cart! View fullsize Things are a little more Arlo's speed in this baby corner. View fullsize Ooh, a climbing wall. View fullsize Arlo can tackle the mini stairs no problem. View fullsize And he even figured out how to turn and go down the slide properly! View fullsize Oh look, another ball pit. View fullsize Shake shake shake. These toys are fun. View fullsize Shake that rattle, Arlo! View fullsize Like Father, like Son. View fullsize Last indulgence for the long weekend: Dairy Queen. View fullsize Brain freeze!

View fullsize Hi Dad! View fullsize Practicing our jumping. View fullsize Noodle time! Arlo lasted longer this time than last time. View fullsize What a little fish he is.
