Bangkok Week 711

February 10, 2022

It was a relatively low-key week, highlighted by a trip to the park on Sunday… and more importantly, Arlo’s first pair of scissors!

Arlo had a wet-and-wild Friday at school.

He and his classmates helped clean the toys at the end of the week.

And it culminated in Arlo taking a bath himself!

For lunch? A giant bowl full of noodles!

Arlo managed pretty well on his own.

Slurping up the noodles, one at a time.

Even trying to use chopsticks.

Enjoying his Chirp magazine.

It's Saturday swimming!

Arlo kicks well when he's using the Motor Boat.

Zoom zoom!

Trying a new exercise today: swimming to the table on his own...

... and then swimming over to the bench. Good job, Arlo!

Looking really long, in this jumping photo.

Stopping for some more baked goods on the way home, again.

Hmm! This menu is pretty nice! Shall we order to-go?

Enjoying his "mini-croissant" during the car ride home.

And as a late-afternoon bonus: a shopping excursion for scissors!

This stationary store has EVERYTHING!

Not to mention too many scissors to choose from!

Walking back to the parking lot, along the BTS.

And Arlo can't wait to try out his newest tool. It works!

Dad spoiled us on Sunday morning! Donuts!

And then a trip to the park: we haven't been in a few weeks.

Arlo was open to doing the see-saw.

But he only wanted to ride the swing with Dad.

Enjoying a rest and a cold bottle of soda water.

And doing some ab exercises. That feels good!

Finishing the last of Dad's birthday cake.

Can't we have ice cream everyday?

That's the face of enjoyment, right there.

And trying out his new paint roller.

This is a nice way to paint. Minimal mess.

See that giant blob of yellow paint? Arlo insists on squeezing the bottle himself: something he learned in school!

Inspecting his masterpiece. How did it get so red!?

Relaxing, and enjoying his Chirp magazine.

Learning about different textures and textiles at school.

More ice creams!

Helping Bella with her lunch.

And check out the beautiful bloom on our pumpkin plant.

There it is, says Senior Commentator Arlo!
