Bangkok Week 654 January 7, 2021 Happy 2021! Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, safe, and sane year ahead. Arlo’s is off to a busy start! View fullsize Good morning, and Happy 2021!! View fullsize Arlo's working on getting his tongue out, too. View fullsize It's off to the park: first chance of the year. View fullsize And Arlo hits the ground running: not a moment to waste when it comes to bird-chasing. View fullsize Almost got 'em. View fullsize Stopping to point at the low-hanging palm leaves. View fullsize And this bottle cap embedded in the dirt is very interesting, too. View fullsize Taking a proper seat this time. View fullsize Uh oh! Is everything okay with Dad? View fullsize Arlo brought Mum a flower: how nice. View fullsize Staring out at the urban wildlife. View fullsize Aww; someone is getting tired. View fullsize Group shot. View fullsize Nibbling a twig... Maybe that peanut butter sandwich wasn't so bad after all. View fullsize Having fun with Dad. View fullsize Lucky Arlo got a chance to check out these older boys' cars, in exchange for his tractor. View fullsize So many new cars to play with, big and small. View fullsize And a bonus on the way back: the Emporium fountain is on now! View fullsize Back at home and well-rested from his nap, Arlo is ready for the afternoon. View fullsize Talking to his Puu. And pointing him out, in fact! View fullsize And then getting ready to exercise his abs. Arlo's 2021 resolution? Abs of steel. View fullsize Kiss kiss for the giraffe. View fullsize Reading about Jack and the Flumflum tree with Dad. Dad's the best reading chair. View fullsize Walk time! First walk of the year, in fact. View fullsize Arlo's new favorite pastime: putting the clothespins in the box, and taking them back out. View fullsize Back at the park again: but today is gardening day. All the gardeners are out and the sprinklers are on! View fullsize No matter: Arlo can play with the cobblestones instead. View fullsize The park looks a little different today, Arlo thinks. This golden pyramid isn't usually here! View fullsize Arlo and Dad, in the flower maze. View fullsize The good news is that there are birds on this side of the pond, too. View fullsize Come here, bird! View fullsize Bird! I said, come here! Please? View fullsize Playing with another kid's bulldozer, in another truck swap. View fullsize Dad. You are going to give me some of your ice cream, right? View fullsize Arlo makes chocolate ice cream look so decadent! View fullsize Yay! Dad's watering the plants! This is the best! View fullsize "I am so good at helping Dad water the plants..." View fullsize Sunday morning: it's pancakes for breakfast! View fullsize The boys eat up! View fullsize Then Arlo tries out his crayons again. Nope, he'd still rather eat them. View fullsize Considering putting a new shirt on after spilling coffee all over his other one... but deciding against it. View fullsize Time for a hose-down! View fullsize Just a tiny little bum in the garden, being watered so he'll grow nice and tall. View fullsize Resting up after his water play. View fullsize A foot from everyone! View fullsize Lunch time! View fullsize Two hands are good for eating lunch... View fullsize ... but four hands are even better! View fullsize HONK! View fullsize Going for a walk in Ekkamai 14 (the Soi behind our house) to see what's going on. View fullsize The banana and papaya farm immediately behind our house is looking healthy. View fullsize But the Singapore International School has closed, and something else is being constructed! View fullsize Arlo can't help but stop and investigate each of the reflective balls embedded in the street. View fullsize Monday morning: practicing his velcro. View fullsize And browsing trucks with Dad. View fullsize Carefully studying all the different tractors. View fullsize We took off the shoulder straps so Arlo can sit up straight now... View fullsize ... walks are so much more fun! Vroom vroom! View fullsize Spotted in the Big C parking lot: lucky us! Maybe they'll park in Ekkamai 12 next. View fullsize One of the highlights of Arlo's walks: when K. Noi turns on her motorcycle's lights! View fullsize Practicing his bike riding. View fullsize Hanging out in the Garden: it's Mum's last day of holiday. Boo hoo! View fullsize A close-up of the curls. View fullsize Arlo's wondering... View fullsize ... if no one's going to water the plants, then can I do it? View fullsize "It's Mum!" exclaims Arlo. And back to work we go. Bye, holidays!
