Toddler-sit


Saturday Zach hopped over to spend the morning with us. We had a nice, mellow start, laying on the big bed, eating cheese puffs and watching cartoons. Just what you need to get into the mood for a very active morning: drawing, watering Maud’s herb garden, reading, and, when the sun starts to get hot, making mud, building sand castles, and a wet t-shirt contest. After the water fight got mixed up with the mud project, we were in bad need of a hot, soapy bath, packed with boats and fishes.
When papa returned from hunting and wanted his boy back, we of course were still much too busy. Can’t forgo more puffs, accompanied by Donald Duck, travelling all over Southern Africa in the bakkie, and, most important, learning the names of the game. Meanwhile Maud could shoot all her ballistic questions, so she can move on to the next stage of her gun-studies.
