Bangkok Week 671

May 6, 2021

Arlo is still fighting his Roseola; and it’s a 4-day quarantine weekend to boot. Good thing we have the train track expansion pack now!

Dressed for success! A onesie to stay cool, and socks for good measure.

Trying to catch some Zzz's... unsuccessfully.

Best Saturday morning entertainment.

The excited engineer and his latest achievement.

Arlo is not as impressed.

Close-up of the detail in the final stretches of the loop.

Teaching Arlo how to be an effective contributor to the household chores.

Ordered some paint brushes: will Arlo enjoy painting more this way?

His face says it all.

Ick, it's still sticky and wet.

Making a valiant effort anyway.

Watching Dad unpack the groceries. Who needs a learning tower?

The great figure-8.

Again, Arlo is less than impressed.

Sunday morning: Arlo is feeling a lot better today! Trying a few reading position.

Solving a great mystery with Dad: where's Heidi?

Modeling pose.

Mum's latest project for Arlo: the budget bus! This is the first time Mum is painting in ~20 years!

No afternoon would be complete without some ice cream!

Demonstrating how craaa-zzzy chocolate ice cream makes him.

Mmm-mmm. Delish!

Wefies with Mum. Practically twins.

Sporting a really nice man bun; Arlo can pull it off.

Going out for a walk for the first time in almost a month: when it's too hot for all the neighbors to be out.

However, that also means we have to back down the street when the sun is out.

Strengthening his ballet muscles.

Arlo: The Intimidator.

Freshly-made bolognese for dinner: Mum's only dish.

Almost finished!

The finished product.

The next morning: verdict is...

... neutral!

Missing his friend Sally!

Baby Arlo is feeling under-the-weather thanks to the rash. Asleep in Dad's arms by 11:30.

The monkey: just trying to "sit with Bella".

A great vantage point from which to watch the rain.

The concentric circles with elevated u-turn!

"Smile, Arlo." Result.

Arlo enjoys lying around with Bella.

But does Bella enjoy it in return?

Counting Bella's nipples.

Lying on Arlo's keys. Bella is wondering how it has come to this?

Not sure he wants to be outside right now. It's hot.

The famous switch-back railway (on flat ground).

Tuesday morning, Arlo finally seems to be feeling like his usual self. Time to do some shopping!

Bella's demonstrating her secret signal for 'help'.

That big smile can only mean one thing: tractor photos on the phone.

Getting inventive: playing with the Ikea laundry octopus.

Speaking of inventive, Arlo shows off his new hat...

... which you may know better as his potty.

The giant Godbella blocks the switch-back railway. Oh no!

Patented toddler face massage for Mum.

Arlo wants mum to buy this ball!

Sitting at the big-boy table eating tomatoes and papaya.

Wefie again!

Kiss-kiss.

At long last, K. Noi is back! Arlo is showing her how he can eat at the big boy table now.

Saying good night from the balcony.

Bella has learned that there are great views from up here.

Quite happy to have found this spot.

Arlo and Dad are plane-spotting; Bella is seeing if there's anything edible in Dad's ear.

Pre-bath conference. (It's Arlo's turn to give Bella the side-eye.)

Bella's started to spend parts of the day with Mum in her office.

Look, Mum! No hands! (Good thing we're trying this on the staircase.)

Modeling his colorful polo shirt.

Just in case you didn't get a close-enough view last time.

Hanging out with Mum for her evening calls, too. Night night!
