10 things Malcolm Learned on Vacation

1. How far and wide his love of batman is. Malcolm for some reason has decided that Batman is called ‘Yellow’. We’re not sure why, but it’s very clear when he yells Yellow, points his hand and shoots his grappling hook (daddy has explained in painstaking detail what the grappling hook is) and then runs as fast as his little leg can propel him.

2. How to give actual kisses instead of air kisses. He leans in and gives the softest little pop with his lips.

3. How to say ‘my mommy’, which would then result in 20 minute argument with Adam of ‘no, my mommy’ ‘no, my mommy’ and a wrestling match for who got to claim me as their mommy. All this despite me explaining that I was actually both of their mommys.

4. How to make a hotel bed and tuck in his animals (with a kiss for each of course). Shown below is Riley the Cat and Harry the Dog. Oh and Yim Ym given to us by the hotel.

5. How to navigate the Bangkok metro with the big boys. There are ALOT of stairs in the Bangkok metro so we tried to walk whenever we could and Malcolm loved it!

6. How to make a sandwich with his coco puffs at the breakfast buffet. This. This right here takes some serious skills.

7. While we’re on breakfast buffets, Malcolm learned how to truly manipulate the breakfast buffet, or his parents or perhaps both. By the end of the meal he would have multiple plates of food for sampling and multiple juices.

8. How to eat skittles on a plane. Hey, whatever helps you get through the flight.

9. How to say mango juice and how to insist on some at every meal.

But hey, we’re not picky. Any juice will suffice.

10. How to navigate the heck out of his kindle, because when on vacation there are absolutely zero limits. And guess what he watched on loop the entire time, yup Batman (cartoon, friendly version- not the scary Heath Ledger Joker version).
