Babysitting: Thailand Edition

This morning I was peacefully wallowing around in my bed when I heared a shuffiling of feet followed by "oh no, she heard us" and shrieking. Good morning CJ. I preceeded to have a hyperactive four year old post-Frosted Flakes bounce around my room tackling Kate, myself, and anything breakable in sight. During this Kate informed me that Carol had left for the day putting her and I on CJ duty.

Me, being the bright person I am, decided to find somewhere that CJ could run around without breaking anything, or hurting himself or us. And where better than a giant park?

Less than an hour later I was caffeinated, and he was spazzing around with minimal injuries. He saw me using my camera and preceeded to ask if he could try taking some pictures. I figured I might as well let him. So, the following pictures are what happens when you let a 4 year old have control of your camera:

 He took some surprisingly nice pictures.

 No idea who this guy is.

 And then sometimes he's adorable. But only sometimes.

 He took pictures of Kate and I around the park.

Does your park have a giant turkey? I didn't think so.

Oh, and I finally got a photo of the water monitor on land!

He was about the same size as a park bench. And he was a tiny one.

And another photo of CJ for your enjoyment:

Do you see the mischief in his eyes? Because it's there. Look beyond the cuteness.

A week from today Kate and I are taking off for Chiang Mai! We can't wait! But it's also sort of sad, because I have to head back to the States afterword and by no means am I ready to go home. But I still have just under a week to hang with students, so I'm not out of adventures yet!
