Bangkok Week 826 — Mika's Photos

Jasmine & Josh are away in Bali this week; and so we fill the weekend with swimming lessons and playdates. Plus, an adventurous Monday & Tuesday while K. Noi is out sick.

Welcome back! Jas & Josh are off to Bali this week, but the orchid from the floating market is doing well in its new home.

Speaking of orchids, Lucy got her own mini-bouquet from Arlo & Dad.

Intently working on a carrot.

Oh my! Arlo's got glowing ears!

And Lucy is holding a ball of fire!

Duet time...

... but four hands are not enough for Lucy.

Oh dear. These two monkeys are dangerous when they work together.

Enjoying dad's cereal for breakfast.

Cutting out a memory game from one of his new Chirp Magazines.

Arlo and Lucy had friends over -- it's very convenient to find another pair of siblings the same age!

Heading off to (make-up) swimming... by tuk tuk!

In fact, Lucy had a private lesson!

She enjoys sitting at this table after class, to eat bananas.

Another huge cactus bloom!

The Sesame Street fan club right here.

I think someone is trying to provoke her brother.

This monkey turns 2 years and 1 month old today. Trying to game the photo!

Oh! Arlo and Dad also went to swimming by tuk tuk!

Starting to learn the "frog kick".

Arlo in a handsome Sunday shirt -- this one was from Granny last visit.

Again, someone has co-opted Dad's cereal for breakfast.

Lucy having another playdate - lucky Lucy!

Bye bye to An and Fiadh, who head back to London next week.

Lucy enjoying noodles for lunch -- adult style!

Special after-lunch treat for the two monkeys...

... Swensen's ice cream!

Another adult lunch for Lucy.

Uh oh! Dad's away for work and P'Noi is home sick. So Lucy and Mum have to take Arlo to school today!

Arlo saw an older schoolmate hanging by her legs ... so he wanted to try too.

Someone has made herself at home at school already.

And then, Mum & Lucy headed to Playville!

We were last hear almost a year ago; I'm sure Lucy doesn't remember it.

She was very courageous, and very independent!

Interestingly, she was very engaged with the make-up counter and all the (wooden) lotions and creams.

Going fishing together!

Putting babies to sleep.

Harvesting carrots.

Grooming the chickens?

"Washing" hands.

And lots and lots of sliding!

I was very impressed; Lucy was also able to climb up this "rock climbing" wall -- a shortcut to the slide!

We've picked up Arlo, and now it's Lucy's nap time. Can't you tell?

Watching Sesame Street while Mum takes a call.

Wrapping up a long day, with some playground time.

Dad and the monkeys.

Just hanging around.

Special lunch out for Mum & Dad, at a little Mexican restaurant down the street.

Bargain of the week: balancing stones! From the Japanese second-hand store.

And Project Flat Stanley begins! Stay tuned to see more! Bye for now.
