Bangkok Week 737 August 11, 2022 The honeymoon is over! Mum is back to work this week. But we still have plenty of fun on the weekends! View fullsize Happy Friday! Where are we going? View fullsize To "Emma's Cafe", for what is likely the last Breastfeeding Cafe for Lucy and Mum. View fullsize Back at home, Lucy Arlo now has his very own iron, thanks to P'Noi. (But of course, he can't give up the real working one.) View fullsize What? Dinnertime again? View fullsize Very cute. Arlo's helping to entertain Lucy over dinner. View fullsize Or is he just finding an excuse to play with her toys? View fullsize Oh my. Someone finally finished his ice cream sandwich for dessert. View fullsize Very subtle. No trace of what he was eating. View fullsize Arlo's new bath time setup: in his own shower! View fullsize Sporting a very hip, very stylish matching t-rex and volcano print set. Fits right in at Emporium! View fullsize We haven't tried the seesaw in a while. View fullsize Lucky Lucy is in the carrier, because we forgot her stroller at home. View fullsize Arlo offered to help Lucy try the slide for the first time. View fullsize But Arlo's legs were so sticky (because he's wearing shorts) that they really didn't go anywhere! View fullsize Climbing up the jungle gym on his own accord! With other kids around! View fullsize No trip to the park is complete without a chocolate milk these days. View fullsize And a soda water. View fullsize Hey look! Remember that snail from Thursday? View fullsize He's still here, just cruizin' along the hedge slowly. View fullsize Waiting patiently while Dad runs a quick errand in Emporium. View fullsize And stopping to check out the roller rink that we never knew existed in Emporium (at the top of the parking lot). Arlo is allowed to use his balance bike, so we may be back. View fullsize Everyone' sitting around... but no one is eating lunch. Hmm. View fullsize Lucy's really into her tongue these days. She'll stick it out at you, no matter the occasion. View fullsize Patiently waiting for Mum to finish lunch. View fullsize There's a nice portrait. View fullsize Singing with Mum. View fullsize Sunday morning, lounging around. View fullsize Lucy's up early, so we're going to make good use of these morning hours. Tummy time! View fullsize This ball! Easy to grab, hard to lick! View fullsize Arlo seems pleased by Lucy's progress. View fullsize Speaking of progress, working on some new puzzles of his own. View fullsize Aww, sibling hug. That's nice, Arlo. View fullsize Sunday swimming: another 2-student class. View fullsize Lucy enjoys the toy bar on her chair now. View fullsize Arlo found some Arlo-sized clothes hangers. They make great toys, too. View fullsize Another elusively close ball for Lucy. View fullsize Team tummy time! View fullsize Picnicking with Lucy. View fullsize That was short-lived. He'd rather read about constellations instead. View fullsize Lunch time? Or Picturepedia time? View fullsize Lucy really enjoys sitting up straight. If only she could do it by herself! View fullsize Miss Big Eyes, Big Cheeks. You talking about me? View fullsize Auntie Khyathi is visiting from Singapore. So she kindly stopped by to visit Lucy and Arlo. View fullsize She hasn't been here since Arlo was not quite 2 months old! View fullsize And she was too kind; she brought gifts for both Lucy and Arlo... including this cactus-stacking toy! View fullsize It's Jumperoo time! View fullsize Arlo wanted Lucy to play with the abacus over dinner. View fullsize Well, she got a nice close-up look at it! View fullsize Uh oh! What happened to Arlo's balloon? View fullsize It's Monday the 8th. You know what that means? It's Mum's first day back at work! Going out with a bang: Grandpa's last gingerbread. View fullsize Lucy's wondering: what happened to Mum? View fullsize Whoops. We might have too many dishes for dinner. How did that happen? View fullsize There's no such thing as a dinner without distractions. View fullsize Practicing our tongues out together. View fullsize Group shot? Nah! View fullsize Checking on the balcony after a long rain last night. And who's that slowly crawling across the balcony floor? View fullsize Why, it's a little snail! How did he get up here? View fullsize Arlo couldn't be more excited. View fullsize Look at him go! View fullsize Pluck! Without much regard for Mr. Snail's efforts, Arlo picked him up to get a better look. View fullsize So we brought him downstairs. View fullsize Where Arlo spent a good while studying him. View fullsize Oh! There he goes! View fullsize Arlo wanted to keep him as a pet. View fullsize Drumroll: Arlo named him... "Snail". View fullsize Here he is in his temporary new home, with plenty of fruits and veggies, and eggshell for calcium. View fullsize Lucy couldn't care less about Snail. View fullsize Oh my! Looks like someone tried to do a runner! Look where we found him the next morning! (Good thing we found him...) View fullsize Recreating a photo from when Arlo was a baby in the laundry basket... and he couldn't be more thrilled. View fullsize We ordered lunch (stir fried noodles without any meat) from a mom & pop shop... View fullsize ... and the shop refunded us 30 baht, because we paid the meat price! How about that! What good people. View fullsize Arlo's pretty chuffed about his noodles for lunch. View fullsize And an evening of milk and Where's Wally. View fullsize Lucy's interested, too. View fullsize Uh oh, Lucy. Watch out! View fullsize It's a giant pile-on. View fullsize Looks like someone's sleepy! I guess we'd better go to bed. See you next time!
