Bangkok Week 774

April 27, 2023

Mum is headed to India this week, so Yaa has come up to help - and Puu has come to accompany her. What fun it is to have more grandparents visiting! And at long last, Arlo’s spring break is over and he’s headed back to school.

Welcome back!

Dad is throwing Lucy around this morning...

... and so Arlo wants in on the action, too.

Simple happiness: no sass, no tantrums.

Someone just had his toe nails painted, and is patiently waiting for the paint to dry.

Lucy's turn! (Just pretending.)

Oh my. Has someone decided to check out all the clothespins?

Not only that, she's tasting all of them too!

Waiting for the bus... or something like that.

What a natural modeling pose, Lucy.

Not quite time for another measure-in, Lucy, but you're welcome to practice!

Taking this selfie business very seriously.

Meanwhile, down at the bus station, Arlo and Dad wait patiently...

... for Puu and Yaa to arrive!

Excited for his visitors!

Hugs all around.

Lucy got a cute new sun hat, and she loves it!

May simple things always bring you this much joy, Lucy!

What a beauty.

Evening special: Tibet food for everyone!

The next morning, Lucy tries on one of the new dresses from Yaa. What's this?

Rice congee for breakfast! Learning how to eat from Puu and Yaa.

Resting together after a game of chase.

Arlo popped up to the office with me to help me check in for my flight.

Reading a book with Puu before he heads home.

Smile, Lucy!

Lucy doesn't want Puu to go home, either.

The farewell party.

All 3 generations.

Bye bye, Puu! Safe ride!

And one final farewell hug from Arlo at the bus terminal.

Meanwhile at home, Lucy is still loving her hat!

A smiling selfie for once.

Lucy, you look huge when Yaa holds you like that!

Arlo is really into Izzy's Koala World on Netflix now.

A mid-afternoon visit to the farm was hot -- and what's this!? A giant crane?

It didn't look this sunny from the living room at home!

Oh! Who's this? An escaped goat enjoying a lunch of banana flower and banana leaf.

Getting a really good view of this mischief-maker.

Lean on me!

Checking out the bike breaks together.

Really, really focused on Arlo's helmet.

Even the picnic in the shade was hot!

Sharing Yaa's water.

Walking around like she owns this farm!

Fly, Lucy! Fly!

Heading home, and ducking under the very long arm crane!

Back at home, Lucy speed-reads Brown Bear over dinner.

Monday morning, Mum is off to Delhi! But first: this delicious breakfast in the lounge.

The new connection (I think it's an underground walkway with moving sidewalk) to the new satellite terminal at Suvarhabhumi.

Back at home, Yaa is helping to hold down the fort.

And finally, thinks Lucy -- Arlo is back to school!

Very interested in the globe at school.

And he's climbing higher in the trees than he did before the break.

Welcome home, Arlo!

Taking the shower really seriously!

Morning milk with Yaa!

And another afternoon snooze. School is tiring!

What a grin, Lucy! I can only assume you're up to no good!

Enjoying the dates from the UAE that Baa Rat brought for Arlo on her way back from Boston.

Miss Destructo and her pop-up books.

Someone has missed his sand.

Lunch time with Yaa! Yay!

Driving the bathtub and pulling a trailer full of baby.

Late afternoon walk with Yaa.

And here comes our master cyclist, zooming around the corner. Go, Arlo, go!
