Walking to the market to get breakfast

My first day in Thailand I woke up after 3 hours of sleep. And the sun was up. That means it is time to get up and play (ed note: 6:00 AM after going to bed around 2 AM, and a thunderstorm that set off a crying session at 3 AM). But mommy was sleepy. So daddy decided we should go take a walk. And maybe Grandpa could join us. And who was waiting downstairs? Grandpa!

First we went to the spirit house to say good morning to the local spirit, and letting me sleep in his house. Then we took a walk. This was much louder with more cars and people than when I take a walk at home. And there was so much to look at and people to smile at. And everyone was smiling back at me.

Daddy and grandpa said they had a job to do. Get breakfast. So we went a few blocks and there was a street where many people were selling many things. We had to go visit many people to get breakfast. And I got to look at many people making food. And they all wanted to talk to me. Daddy made me practice putting my hands together and saying sawasdee khrap to everyone on the street. So I did that with the aunties selling food, the grandmas and the girls walking on the street, and the Ajahns who were also getting breakfast. Grandpa said I was doing a good job making everyone happy and smiling.


We were walking around for an hour. And when I met great-grandma later in the day and she asked me what I did, I had so much to tell her. And on our vacation I got to go to the market with daddy and grandpa almost every day. So much fun.
