Layers!

Today we cleaned……. so the cleaning lady could come and clean the clean. How we have been shaped by Barbara! Feeding Alex was slightly painful today as he clearly did not want to eat. However it was eat the porridge from me or be fed it very, very quickly by a caregiver with a large spoon. He took the lesser of two evils but we still paid for it later. Otherwise we had a nice visit today with Alex, and Pops and Zach joined us for both. We got a roast chicken from a street vender for dinner and it was delicious. The breads and cheeses are wonderful and we have been enjoying both. They are so good I would pay more for them, but they’re very inexpensive.
Alex was very mobile today in the afternoon, and we have no doubt he will be crawling before we leave. He was quite a fashion disaster in the afternoon, but had less layers on, which was nice. In the morning Alex had 2 layers on his bottom half and 4 on his top. It is a part of their culture for children to be dressed far warmer than the adults. We still see some people with winter coats on and are not allowed to open any windows in the orphanage. Have a great day, and enjoy a Stewarts milkshake on us!
