Random kid stuff

Random Rafiki children things:

Oscar heard we were going to go for a walk so he came up to me and said, "Are we going on a walk to see God's creation?"

Emma, the littlest guy (and man is he a little one, maybe 20 pounds at nearly 3 years of age), constantly says, "Auntie, you see", and he just wants you to watch him jump or show you his drawing, he tries so hard to be like the bigger kids and impress us! Recently he has found a toy that resembles the shape of a cell phone, he is constantly calling me on it for a conversation about nothing.

The kids look at every small thing on their skin and have to show you it, as if they were bleeding to death, when there is just a lump from a mosquito bite or an old scar. All they want is some love and attention.

Brenda when she is dancing is hilarious, she puts her hands in the air and shakes her hips like she was a belly dancer, usually this is after she eats supper and her little belly is bulging from the food; she is beautiful, I fear for her when she gets older, all the boys will love her.

Carol, I thought was the shy one, based on the meek-looking photo I saw of her before meeting, well that little girl is the most talkative of all, again she is 3, probably close to 4, and about 24 pounds. She will talk to you until you tell her to stop.

I've realized Fauziya stutters only when you ask her a question, whether difficult or hard, and when she is tattling on someone, but hardly ever when she just walks up and wants to talk...interesting.

Jerom is a little pudgy and has the cutest smile, sometimes when he looks at you and smiles he'll raise his eyebrows up real high a few times, ina cute childish flirtatious way, its adorable.

Joshua is the biggest kid, definitely would blend in as an American, as a result he is always helping, always leading the praise time before bed and always the one in charge. Sadly, he was found scavenging for food ont he streets so sending him to the trash can to throw something away can be dangerous as he'll take out something that looks good and eat it.

Joel wasn't feeling that great yesterday, so he played house with me and took care of our baby doll, he's I think 7, so I find it interesting that he'll still sit with me and play along instead of running after someone or a soccer ball.

Annet has the most beautiful eyes, but when you send her to bed for misbehaving she won't talk to you for half an hour in response to your punishment of her. Ms. Attitude, her and Brenda!

Cocus has this squeaky kind of voice and the most precious of laughs that infect you with laughter.

Don has very few teeth, luckily his adult teeth haven't come in, so he's just without teeth temporarily, but it makes him have this sweet lisp that you just want to make him repeat something to hear it again.

Esther, when she is playing, is constantly making me birthday cakes out of sand in a bucket with beads on top, or making me food out of toy safari animals.

I'm sure there will be many more moments of random cuteness from the kids to share...
