- Little t interacted beautifully with the cleaning lady this morning (will blog more about her soon). I didn't tell him she was coming so he was a little surprised. Though he sat on my lap most through most of the interaction, he told her hi and proceeded to talk her ear off for 15 minutes (complete with wagging his finger at her)...so she has passed the likeability test apparently! He really really does well interacting with people here. I try to go over to the office to have lunch with the female staff that work for Andy once a week. He LOVES these women and goes from one to the next, crawling into their laps, talking their ears off, etc. Makes me happy that he is so relaxed with them because then I can enjoy the time interacting with them as well. They, of course, are crazy about him...but then again, how could you not be?
- We had our weekly meeting at our house yesterday morning...it was special to have the team (though small in numbers) fill our little house with warmth and songs and pryr. It was a great time of fellowship.
- G and M - the two guards who work in our yards (they are not armed so guards is kind of a misleading term, but there isn't another good explanation for them...they watch the houses and yards, answer the gate, go to the bazaar, fill water tanks, shovel snow, etc.) are good friends. Before this week the weather has been beautiful and they were often seen on their lunch break soaking up the sun. M - our guard has a chair that he puts in the sun to sit in, G used the day and a few sticks to construct a bench between two tree trunks. They enjoyed their break in the beauty of the day.
- Overheard recently while watching two of our guards walk through the yard... "you do it" said the younger (50ish) one -G to the older (65is) one - M. "no, I am not going to, you do it," replied M. "Fine I will," shot back G as he headed toward the trampoline. Next thing I knew he had hopped onto the trampoline and was giggling like a girl as he tried to keep his balance and jump at the same time. M watched from the ground chuckling to himself. I watched from the kitchen as I did dishes doubled over with laugher! After a minute or so G got off, straightened his clothes and sauntered off to continue his work...with a little grin.
- We are going out to supper tonight! There a few other foreigners in town and they have invited us to their compound for supper...we don't get out much, so this is very exciting!
- The fact that little t is just now waking up from a 2 1/2 hour nap...and in that time, I have worked-out, showered, eaten lunch, cleared up from lunch and had time to write e-mails and this blog...Good day!
Love the daily activities description! And of course they all love t! Who doesn't! And tell A if he even so much as thinks about cutting of t's curl he is in big trouble!
