Modeling...

Thais are in love with 'half-breeds' and so these are the kids that get all the advertising jobs, mind you, some of these pay really well...up to 2 months of mommy's salary for a couple of days work...I got stopped few times and asked if Andrei would be modeling, but since they weren't so keen on paying him a decent amount we just didn't bother.

Until...we got an offer from one of the big(I think) modeling agencies that works with kids...So, Ake and Andrei showed up for a shooting...and guess what, the bugger stared in amazement for 1 hour and refused to smile...he he he...his brilliant debut in modeling!!! 'Definetly come back in 3 months!'

Meanwhile...this is what we get at home round the clock...

A heck of a month...a hospital scare for Andrei, then we ran like crazy to get our papers together in order to buy a house (a 'maybe' now?- as it turns out it's pretty hard getting a loan as a foreigner in Thailand), working like mad to finish off things at work before the grand holiday...5 hour sleep/ night...That's US....Andrei, however doing splendidly...a very good night sleeper...and a very happy kid...
