Museums and the slow wknd video

-

It’s been an odd weekend.  Kiddo hasn’t been at 100%.  She’s been complaining of headaches and being tired and she’s felt warm.  We COVID tested her - negative!  Thank the maker for that.  We’ve been all over her temp and with a thermometer.  All below 38C (100.4F) so no worries there, but she’s not been really hungry either.  Last night, however, she complained of it hurting in her mouth.  No wiggly teeth.  Way in the back we finally saw it.  A small poke of white in the back.  Looks like a molar is coming in.  


Friday and Saturday were both like that.  In fact, we were a little panicked when she hardly ate on Friday night and was hot and tired and just not feeling it.  She was so out of it that she volunteered to go to bed at 19:10 and we put her down and she stayed down.


It’s made for a slow and chill weekend however.  Not going fast or hard.  Just chilling and letting Kiddo set the pace.  


Waking this morning and it seems we weathered the worst of it.  Kiddo is back and in full Kiddo effect today.  We played.  We ate.  We hit the mall and Kiddo helped me shop at Tops while Mumma did her thang and got some face lotion and make up and I got to entertain and shop with Kiddo.  I wish I got a video of her in the cart.  The carts are the free rolling kind.  Like an IKEA cart, if you are familiar.  Kiddo loves to help, especially when we only need about 4 things, because then she can be in the cart and not be too packed in and she can “drive crazy and drift.”  We have fun.


Fun for her comes in many forms.  She told J last night that she REALLY loved the museum that her and J went to a while back and Kiddo hoped that we could see something like that when we travel to Vietnam and then the next place we move too.  Libraries, museums, book stores, cafes… When it’s not playing, swimming, jumping, hiking, and moving.  Kiddo, you are my speed some days.  Even crazy driving in the cart at the store!


Lastly, after rest time today, I went in to get Kiddo.  Well, was I in for a treat.  I’ll let her explain it all, but she continuously amazes me.


Let’s go, Kiddo… A month until Vietnam and about 18 school days left.  You got this and we love you.

Working on setting this up and making it more to our liking and style.  I wanted to get something up, just so we have a placeholder and a little welcome to anyone coming over and wondering if this is really A, J, or the Kiddo. Also, it gives me a chance to try putting some media up as well.  Pics AND Videos???  Can it really be???? Cheers fro now and we'll be back to write more later.  Have a great day and thanks for poking us here to see that we are all still ok.

On being brave

I was laying in bed the other night and I was just awake and thinking.  I was thinking, specifically, about Kiddo and how brave she is in a lot of ways.  Moving across the world with J and I (not that she had much choice) was brave.  Quarantine.  Going to a school with mostly Thai kids.  Making friends.  Losing her tooth.  All of it.  She is so brave.   Even her attitude.  That want to see more of the world and to explore it.  Her willingness to go to markets with J and myself and eat bugs.  Last summer in Vietnam and just trying pho or banh mi while we walked down a street.  Getting lost with J in the rain in HCMC and having that adventure.  Her excitement to travel 30,000 miles this summer.  Her excitement for Shanghai and wondering how it will be different, better/worse, and what kind of ‘interesting and fun things to do” once we get there.   As I lay in the dark being a proud papa, I couldn’t help b...

A weekend in the life of Kiddo

We have our LA and SF trips set.  We are going to find some time this week to plan and set the Wisco trip and then the Mexico trip, but one step at a time.  J is looking at properties in MX for us and we will book that all soon.  Then, it’s just tying up life here, selling off our stuff, packing and getting ready to move and then it’s just airplanes, airports, and adventures. It’s not all busy work though.  We are still having some fun.   J needed to go to school on Saturday to drop off some of Kiddo’s stuff that she is repurposing to her classroom.  Puzzles and books that Kiddo aged out of and what better place than a Kindergarten classroom.  Perfect solution and better than trudging them into town and getting next to nothing selling them for credit only to acquire more books to drag around the world.  New books can wait for Shanghai, if at all, because J and I are on Kindles and Kiddo is mainly on the iPad and Epic for her books.  The l...
