we're home, finally

The trip back to BKK was much more convenient than the trip to CGK

First of all, Tio didnt cry when the passengers boarded the aircraft. Maybe because we sat at the middle part of the plane, not at the first row (at the emergency exit) like in the first trip. So he didnt see many people *seemingly* coming at him. We were told, upon check-in, that actually passengers with infant cannot sit at the emergency exit. But sometimes we can, maybe not all check-in staff knows this. Also, there were not so many people this time, only 90 something passengers were there.

Secondly, we got the whole row (3 seats) for ourselves, so I could lay Tio down on my lap. He could sleep more comfortably and I could carry him more comfortably too. During the first trip, I had stiff arms and legs for supporting him sleeping sitting up. We were not able to lay him on our laps because the armrest between us was not movable (coz we were at the emergency exit).

Third, Tio slept almost during the whole trip. He stood up but didn't ask to be carried or to walk inside the aircraft. He asked for food and drink and to be read to. But he was very well behaved. Only when we were waiting for the immigration check *long queue*, he cried a bit. Maybe because his sleep was disturbed and he wanted "nom" *to drink breastmilk* but I couldnt feed him because we were worried that it would be our turn before he finish drinking and also there was no proper place to breastfeed him. He had to wait until we were in the van (which took some time too for the driver to come and pick us up).

Back at home, he seems excited. Like he wants to show that he remembers things. He hugged his doll, rode on his truck, pointed here and there. And when his nanny came, to my surprise, he didnt cry when she picked him up and carried him. He played while his nanny watching. Oh I'm so glad that the transition happened smoothly.

Now I'm going to write about our stay in Jakarta.
