The nest and laundry

Friday was free from school so I managed to go to the nest for a short visit. I didn't have much time, so unfortunately I made a mess in the room with the one year olds. They were, as always, very hungry for attention and I was hardly inside the door before I had two babies in my arms. I forgot to close the door behind me and one "escaped", so I had to put the two down and run after the third. As I let go of the two I held, they started crying and after lifting in the escapee, he was crying too.
I hugged them some more and played with them for a few minutes, but they just wanted to be held.

I had to go down to the laundry room, because I heard that due to the heavy rains we're having in Nairobi, they have a hard time drying the laundry. I volunteered to bring the wet laundry home and dry it in the dryer in our house, but got a bit concerned when they brought bag after bag after bag...... My reflection on this trip is once again, how lucky I am. To have a dryer when it is raining is very practical especially after it's been raining for days. The staff hardly had any of their cloth diapers dry and my parents just put disposable diapers on my butt! Imagine the hard work they put in, and being so dependent on the weather, luckily it is mostly sunshine in Nairobi!
