Aleena Said..

Aleena is really at that age where she says some funny things.  She was with Tim at the sea this past week and made the following observation. "Mommy the animals are really poor, aren't they.  The are poorer than the poor people because they don't even have toys to play with."  I thought it was cute. 

Aleena also thought that she spotted a very small deer on the beach before one of our trips.  It turned out to be a dog.

Tim really had fun snorkeling with Aleena.  At first Aleena refused to do it, she said that it wouldn't be fun.  The last time we went snorkeling, she hadn't been as comfortable in the water so she had a bad memory.  Now she is actually a pretty good swimmer, so we were a little surprised.  The guide on the Similan trip, a girl named Way, offered to take Aleena with her, and Aleena agreed.  She told Aleena she would be her "tuk tuk" (a Thai taxi with three wheels).  Aleena finally agreed, and had a great time. She ended up snorkeling with Tim after that and really loved it.  It was nice to see her overcome her fear and reluctance to try something again.
