Last week we were in Bangkok for meetings. Mommy was rather apprehensive about how it would go as this was a working trip and not arranged with kids in mind. Thankfully all went well. Again, we are deeply thankful for such adaptable sunny kids. Even though they were the only kids in the hotel (quite literally!) and had a brand new to them Thai babysitter for much of the week, it went smoother than when we have meetings in Manila and they are staying at home with familiar Ate Bubbles!
They enjoyed the extra attention of the staff and attendees as the only children, especially with their job of ringing the bell to usher people back into the meetings after break times. There was a pool, of course, a fun new sleeping arrangement, and the joy of being allowed to make a mess and have it "magically" tied up every day.
Jasmin had almost as much fun taking pictures of their 'playmates' as she did actually playing with them - which she did everywhere we took them. An excellent activity in the many different situations they had to wait for Mommy and Daddy.
Thankfully the breakfast provided was a buffet with lots of fresh fruit (and even salad!), so Jasmin was able to eat well, without being constantly excluded from something yummy that would be bad for her.

All told, although Daddy was really busy and often rather stressed, it was a good week for us all. We are glad to now be on holiday on the beach now though!
