KJ’s first birthday has come and gone and as is with all children, it happened really fast! We invited some of the local kids that play with Trey and KJ over to celebrate the milestone.
We broke out the sidewalk chalk and she got lots of congratulatory messages. My favorite? “Happy Bathday!” We setup the mini-pool that Heidi brought out from the US (a gift from her sister). KJ loves playing in water but her friends weren’t too sure about it. They pretty much associate pools of water with bath time and that wasn’t too enticing to them.
Finally, we all enjoyed a delicious cake made by our friend Baby. She has made quite a name for herself in the northeast with her cake baking abilities. We had brought her some baking supplies and cake decorations on our last trip to Ouaga and she put them to good use.
Happy Birthday, Nawunpiinikasi!
