A Cheer-Ta-Tuad-Up Trip to Thailand

We went to Thailand unexpectedly because Changton's 90 yr old Grand Grand Pa (Ta Tuad) was hospitalized. Ta Tuad fell down and is now unable to walk. Ta Tuad was really upset as doctors said there is a slim chance that he can walk again.Soon after we heard the news, we rushed back to Thailand to cheer him up. This decision was worthwhile. After hearing our home coming news, Ta Tuad started to beam, according to Grand Ma Sri's words. 

As this trip was unplanned, dad couldn't come with us. The thought of traveling alone with a 10 month old baby worried mami at first. Then she convinced herself that it was just one of her day outs with Changton. Actually going out with Changton is less tiring than staying at home. Changton loves to go out, and most of the time, he is well-behaved. So mami kept her fingers crossed for this trip.

Thailand, here we come...

Our flight was 2 hrs delayed and Changton got a bit cranky. Mami exhausted from keeping him entertained. Yielding and crying was the last thing she wanted Changton to do the plane. So whatever Changton wanted, he got it!!

The flight was not as bad. He played about 30mins, had milk, slept about 1.5 hr, got up and played again. Changton occupied the first class area, which was on the floor, right down mami's feet. He could sleep longer if the baby bassinet was bigger. Every time he turned and stuck, he cried. So mami needed to bring him up from his first class area and let him sleep on her shoulder. When Changton was smaller, he normally slept comfortably throughout the flight in a baby bassinet.
