toys




Juma had to get creative with toys in Zanzibar last summer. We brought only a couple toys with us, such as this glow stick, above. In the lower picture, he's playing with a thrown-out piece of electronic equipment, I think. He was pretending it was a remote control (not that there was a TV). And of course the soccer ball was the most favorite toy for Juma and all his friends. And any adult men walking by.

I love the small amount of toys. Remember that part in the 'slacker mom' book? I thought it was genius.

Yep, I liked that part of the book. But guess how many toy boxes we have? Yeah, don't ask.
