Our 2 year 9month Old

Baby gal is at an age where she determines whether you are her friend or not depending on what she perceives pleases her. So she unleashes sentences like ..: Mummy are you my friend? or Mummy you are not my friend now". When I take her to be and she had said am not her friend, she says mummy sit on my bed you are my friend now.

Anyways yesterday she put her daddy is an awkward position. We were watching TV and she was lying on my beloved and she said " Mummy , daddy is not your friend" and I told her ask daddy whether he is my friend. So she asked and daddy responded "Oh yes mummy is my friend". We also have a house help in the house and the next sentence was "daddy is aunty XX your friend?"..I was very keen to hear his response. Alex evaded that question by reassuring her that mummy and Samara are his friends. The questions kids ask in their innocence.

But in all that, baby gal keeps reminding us how relational we are. We can not do without relationships and it is important to reassure our children and those around that no matter what they do, our love is unconditional.

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.

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...
