Watching her grow over the last 10 months has been entertaining; she has a really cheeky personality and has a grin that makes your day. She hardly ever cries, plays by herself or chases my rabbit Cola about the house.
She is at an age where she is now into everything that is in her height and sight. This is fun for Noot who forgets this often and I hear “Ja, no.” This usually means Noot left something within reach and it has been pulled out, scattered or tipped over the floor.
The other day when I came home, Miss Noot was asleep in the front bedroom and Ja was sitting on the floor playing. She had a bottle of talcum powder and had opened the lid and spread it everywhere. It looked like Christmas in the room.
Also a box of tissues was happily pulled out of the box and ripped up; some was eaten after the box was left within her reach. Everyday my DVDs and CDs are pulled off the shelf under the TV. The cabinet doesn’t have doors and is easy access. It is like a game with her.
“Ja, do not touch the DVDs.” A huge mischievous grin is flashed and then she ignores your warning and starts pulling them off the shelf.
Here is a video of Nong Ja being herself. She is laughing, doing raspberries and also getting a little cranky.
The other night Miss Noot must have had a little too much time on her hands. We had had Ja for three nights and four days. She had gone home early evening, I was in the bedroom on the computer and watching TV. Noot was out in the living room watching TV, or so I thought.
Miss Noot walked into the bedroom and I was greeted with, “Beautiful, Mai.” I was looking at this.
I did of course what any man would, “You look like a Geisha with all the crap on your face.” With that I was given a whack across my head.
The question was asked again, “Suewai Mai.” This time I of course said, “Yes, you look really beautiful. Now stop wasting make up as it is expensive.”
I was clipped across the head, again and then left alone.
Life is good in Isaan Thailand.

you love to live dangerously!
MJ, is there any other way to live :)
The amount of times I have had my head whacked I should be in an intensive care ward.
Maybe that's the problem, I don't know when not to open my big mouth
Brunty, I will agreee with you that you do have a beautiful girlfriend , but as far as the baby being easy to take care of from the pics and what I read she has almost destroyed you little home and has to be watch and told No NO constantly, does not sound to easy to me , But then you are young and it's all fun and games to you , just wait till they get to be teens and then try as now telling them No NO will they listen , just as now with a big sheepist grin, or as soon as you turn your back, and then going ahead a doing it anyway.

my wife just waves her hand which means f of in thai in a nice way but i love her to bits
Malcom, she loves to pull things off the shelves and also touch anything left in arms reach, but hey! she is only 10 months old..
When she is a teenager, man that is scary. I don't know if I will still be around by then. I could be worm food by then :)
Teenagers of today, back in my day you did as you were told or else.
Expat Don I know that hand signal.
