Back To School

Baby gal has been on school holiday since August 3rd , for about a month and it has been such fun to hang out with her. We have noted such growth, development and maturity in her at times its scary. She seems to have a mind of her own. Can you believe this baby we brought home the other day can refuse to wear a certain outfit. She has become so girly and is interested in wearing dresses so that she can go round and round with them. And please may the dress be pink please.

Oh you do not make promises and not fulfil because she now remembers and will remind you. Well , after our move to our new home, we have taken 2 bus rides with her and it was so much fun. Everyone must have known it was her first ride because she pointed out at other buses, other vehicles, the motor bikes and I loved every bit of it because she was able to say that not everyone has a car...the only challenge came when she slept and I had to carry her out of the bus..but little sacrifices for lifes lessons not bad.

So its back to school for her from tomorrow and well she is growing, the clothes are getting shorter and the shoes smaller and so we decided last week to buy her shoes. The wise parents we are went picked a shoe and presented them to baby gal in the evening. There was no love at first sight, she did not even want them near her...even to try the size..well lucky for us they were slightly big and we had to return them and exchange with something else. So Saturday, we went to the supermarket to exchange and believe me the girl was not interested, after a few tears and threats she accepted to try but her foot is too small and well because there was no refund.we had to do some house shopping .

Today, we confirmed that her current school shoes are indeed small and being wiser today, we drew her foot on a piece of paper and I have got one that I like.Please note , I like so when I get home later today..we shall confirm with our"little teenager". but all in all, she reminds me more and more about my beloved. They love the nice things in life and are very particular about what they wear. Infact yesterday , I was telling Alex that Baby J , needs to be like me for balance, if the three of them are of same character, mummy will be out numbered but I don't mind.

So tomorrow, its back to school and we also looking forward to that experience. Time goes by quite fast, it will be third term for baby gal...and we say thank you Lord. Next month , we shall celebrate 1 year since the corerctive surgery. We have seen such change and this girl eats until we just have to stop her at times..how things change:-))

My Journey with Caleb's Family

A friend requested me to share my story on the journey we walked with Caleb's family. So below is a very long blog on that over 1 month. Am not sure what is in store for us ahead but this far it has been God. After our experience with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) through our daughter Samara, I felt within me a call to look for people to partner with regarding kids with heart issues. So In January this year, I checked the net and bumped into a local NGO. The organization basically deals with kids with heart defects from poor families. I thought it was a noble call and contacted the organization. They were fast to respond and I visited them alone and over the weekend on a Saturday with my family. On the Saturday we went, we met Caleb and his parents. This was end of January and they were discussing with the founder of the organization about how to raise airfare for them to travel to India, first week of February. I held Caleb briefly in my arms and his mum kept saying one day her...

Househelps

This morning as we drove to work, we tuned into a radio station that had an interesting discussion...yeah you guessed it, it was on househelps.The background was that there is a lady who has helped develop a curriculum for domestic workers in Kenya and the emphasis is on respecting oneself, good grooming, respecting the job one is doing etc. She was encouraging all employers to enrol their domestic workers for the curriculum but many were hesitant stating that they would invest much in the househelps then after a few weeks/days the girls would leave..but she said if all homes trained the domestic workers then whenever they left, then you would receive one who is trained as everyone has played their role. The morning show had 2 male presenters, and two ladies and what caused a stir was that the men asked one lady.." whether she would employ a househelp who was prettier than her? "Would you employ one who's esteem is high and dresses well if you were married" . The l...
