Nong Ja My Thai Niece Returns, Isaan Thailand.

I have written about my beautiful little niece Nong Ja on many occasions. Recently I blogged about how Joom and Jack her parents had decided to take her to Bangkok and Jack’s parents would look after her for 2 or 3 months.

I wasn’t happy with this idea and decision but she isn’t my daughter. So the day came and Ja and Joom flew to Bangkok. Joom stayed in Bangkok for a week and then returned home last Tuesday. On Wednesday morning I was a bastard when I saw Joom and ribbed her about leaving her daughter in Bangkok.

On Friday I was very busy. I was out and about when Noot rang and told me to come home. I tried to put coming home till later but Noot told me it was very important. I asked what was so important, but it could not be told over the phone.

It has to be top secret if it cannot be explained across a phone line.

I made my way home and parked the motorcycle, made my way to the front door and there just inside the fly screen door I seen Nong Ja sitting on the floor with a massive grin on her face.

As soon as I opened the door she summoned me to pick her up and I did in a flash.

It seems that Joom took a bus on Wednesday night to Bangkok, and then on Friday they flew home together. This was all because she missed Ja so much and of course Jack missed her too.

So the past two days I have been baby sitting, today Ja decided to rearrange the dish holder. She pulled plates and bowls out and put them wherever she liked.

Then it was the Tupperware containers, they were pulled out and lids tossed here and there.

It was lunchtime, Noot and her friend Annie had returned with the goodies and we sat down to a juggling act of feeding Ja and also trying to stop her putting her hands into everything.

Tonight Ja and I are alone, we have been playing stupid games as usual and then Ja decided to pull all the paperwork out from under the printer. I am sure her intentions were good but now I have to piece together all the lessons that are now mixed up.

Ja was wondering if there was a problem. She was happily putting paper here and there. Eventually the novelty wore off and she climbed back onto the bed and 20 minutes later she is now off in dreamland.

So my little niece is back, I am happy, Noot is happy, Ben is happy, well everyone is happy. It means less time again for some things but I am more than happy to give up this time to be able to look after my beautiful little niece.
