Bangkok Week 673

May 20, 2021

Arlo turns 20 months old this week! And we continue to patiently entertain ourselves at home as this COVID wave shows no sign of abating.

Arlo turns 1 year and 8 months old today! Clocking in for his monthly tree photo.

But Dad is still taller.

Arlo's newest play-thing (more pandemic shopping): a trailer tent.

Arlo likes it. Mum might like it more.

Wondering if he can enter via the exclusive tunnel entrance.

Posing with Bella.

Giving Bella a patented Hug-from-Behind.

Just looking out the window and standing on his skateboard.

Enjoying the breeze on the balcony.

Is that the moon?

Mum's little helper with the weekend chores.

He's a pro. He can help K. Wan when she comes back.

Reenacting one of his favorite baby photos.

Playing bubbles with Dad. Arlo only requests "big bubbles".

Pop! Right on the face!

Nap time for everyone!

After huffing and puffing, Arlo pops out one bubble of his own.

Bella having a Sunday morning rest before the Arlo monster wakes up.

Uh oh! Here he is, to say good morning to Bella.

Posing with the bike he's about to lend to his friend Ronan.

Watching the tractor (dozer?) video that Granny and Grandpa took for Arlo.

Wow! Look at that big, yellow tractor.

Playing with rice.

Well, we could have seen this ending from minutes away.

Sweeping sweeping. Even getting under the rug.

Psyched to have ended up with a fire engine through the toy swap.

Getting a good look at all its red goodness.

Another day, another early-evening breeze.

And more moon-spotting! (Or are they plane-spotting?)

Trying on another new shirt from Granny. It's almost long enough to be a dress!

Arlo is still enjoying the fire truck from Ronan.

Just lazing around.

See? Dad can fit in the tent, too!

Arlo can't get enough of this reenactment!

Good morning hugs for Bella.

"Save me! Save me" squeaks Bella.

All eyes on Dad.

Taking in the nice evening breeze.

What's this!? A Spiderman shirt?

Wow, this is a really cool shirt! Thank you, Uncle Top!

Speaking of Uncle Top, look what we just received from the back yard in Trat.

Spiderman was scared by the spiky rambutan at first...

...but it turns out they're really delicious.

Arlo's a fan.

Spiderman, getting ready to make his big move.

Caught trying to scale the fence.

This is the first and last time the stacking cups come up to the balcony. We almost lost the cups over the edge too many times to count.

Today, it's Hipster Arlo in the house!!

Modeling this outfit from Granny, with the attitude to go with it.

It looks even better with a man bun.

What a little model.

At least someone in this house can pull off a Man Bun.

Playing with his newest toy: a pumpkin.

Inspecting this eggplant. Are you sure it's not a baseball?

And tearing the banana leaves that the veggies were wrapped in. Because that's what banana leaves are for!

Uh oh! Khlong Ekkamai 12 is back tonight!

Poor Bella definitely did not get her walk this evening.

And modeling another (rather heavy) long-sleeved hoodie from Granny.

After one day in this thing, Arlo is wondering when the cool weather will catch up.

Wefie with Mum.

Someone's getting sleepy.

Bella's favorite nighttime activity: rat spotting.
