just me and my mom...

thomas left to pick up his family in kuala lumpur so it is just me and zoe in our island paradise. we have a lovely bungalow, full of geckos. zoe has developed an absolute love of geckos, not only does she make gecko noises, but everytime she sees or hears one, everyone in the near vicinty must drop whatever they are doing and appreciate the gecko with her. it is actually quite amusing, though frustrating at times.
she met a new friend here at lorenzo's, his name is c.j. and he is quite the character. it is full board here, and so everyone staying here eats dinner together, family style. anyway, the day they arrived, c.j. and his parents came into dinner and c.j. said in a loud voice while waving his hand at everyone sitting at the table, "hi! my name is c.j., and this is my mom, so and so, and this is my dad, so and so!" and then he beamed proudly, it was adorable. he is an extremely vocal child for three and a half, and zoe has had a great time chasing after him.

she really seems to be enjoying it here, everyone knows her of course. there are also four small puppies, which she absolutely adores. they live in one of the palapas about 150 meters from the restaurant, and this morning she carried them all to breakfast one after another. it was very cute. but since they never really had been away from their palapa before i think i might have been a bit of a shock for them. then all day long she has just moved them from one location to another. apparently she is becoming a professional puppy transporter. tomorrow we leave to meet up with the rest of thorens. should be alot of fun.
