our lives in small town, East Africa

happy...

Ramadan, (late) Rosh Hoshanah, and (late) first day of fall, and Juma's first swimming lesson!

Strangely enough, all four days fell on the same day this year.

Okay, so Juma's first swimming lesson isn't exactly a big deal, but it did take twenty minutes just to get him to put his feet in the water. And I just had to celebrate that achievement for our hyper-aquaphobic kid. You'd think that living 15 minutes from the Atlantic and, in the summer, 15 mintues from the pleasant, beautiful Indian Ocean, we'd have a swimmer, but no. This kid cries every time he has to take a bath. Every time. Daily.
