Sri Lanka

A little boy, just about three years old, plays in the sand with his mummy. They run back and forth to the waves avoiding them and loving them at the very same moment. They let the waves crash over them in the bright blistering sunshine, taking a break only to build a sand castle and proceed to knock it down as soon as it's built. 

Yes, to see a child play and be out with nature is a wonderful thing. So different from the city life of Bangkok. Where little boys go to the park and play only on the monkey bars, or over at a friend's apartment where a playroom has been constructed to occupy their energy. 

Josh is a wonder of energy that runs all day and sometimes into the night but all of it with wonder and amazement.

Having fun with Pa in Sydney

Every August Joshie spends a couple weeks with Pa and oh the fun they have. Playing at the beach, running in the park and building stuff in the Man-Cave. 

International Day at Storytime School

Josh's first International Day at school. All the little kids were to dress in their home country's national dress. Of course we had to send him as a Balmoral Nipper, stolen bathers cap and Aussie rashie. 

Hello Buddha

Josh's first trip of memory to Wat Po, the Recling Buddha, was so great. He went around to all the statues waving saying "Hello Buddha".  Then it was "Bye Bye Buddha", giving a wave of the hand. 

It's been a great weekend

Every weekend with a toddler is filled with surprises and with Josh it's double. 

With tantrums at odd times, waking in the middle of the night and insisting we sleep at his feet and of course meeting pretty flamenco dancers and having a picture taken. It's all in a weekend with the Josh Man. 

Jammin on stage at Funarium today. 

When it rains we watch hours of planes landing at LHR. He better grow up in the aviation industry. 

And finally when we are amidst learning the difference of nappies versus toilet we opt for the balcony once again.  Word to the g'parents in August, find a patch you need fertilized and aim him that direction.

Let's go for a swim

Josh loves his play dates with his friends. And he loves to "more sinking".  Thanks Uncle Jeff and Auntie Kerri for the cool Spider-man swimmers.
