I know what you're thinking: good advice, right? It also happens to be the title of Elliot's favorite song, a catchy tune out of Australia that can be found on one of the Putamayo CDs he got for Christmas last year. Fortunately, it is not a piece of advice I am giving you based on personal experience!! It's a great song... and we should know, having listened to it play over and over (and over and over) on the computer for the better part of the last week or so. As those of you who have ever shared your lives with a toddler know, they enjoy repetition almost as they enjoy using the word "no", which is to say a lot.
So loyal readers, do remember:
Don’t ever step on a snake.
The surprise may be more than he can take.
You’d feel the same way too,
If someone stepped on you
While you’re lying in the sunshine half awake.
I was looking at the calendar today, and for those of you who are keeping track at home, we will be back on American soil in just under 10 weeks. It’s amazing how time gets away from you, isn’t it? Even when it seems like we have so much more of it than we need some days. I don’t think that is a problem I’ll have when we’re back in the States!
I apologize for the lag between postings. I’m sure you are sick of looking at our cabbage (I know I am!) Here are some photos of what we’ve been up to these last couple weeks.

Elliot made a friend at the butterfly sanctuary after our hike there.
On Sunday afternoons, we head for the pool, and after we swim we always get (ka)bobs, even though they're a little (s)picy.

You are right. I, too, was geting tired of the cabbage pictures. I love cabbage, but I would much rather see your little "cabbage". Thanks for the words to the Snake song also. In case it is still popular when you get back, we'll be able to sing along. :-) The new car has a CD player so you will still be able to listen as you travel.
Love to all.
Wow, 10 weeks!! That's crazy!! Don't let it go by too fast though, enjoy it while you can!!
Love the snake song, do you sing it in your sleep? LOL
Oh my gosh I think I finally figured this comment thing out. I love checking the blog regulary, you do an awesome job keeping us all updated and well informed on the comings and goings of a two year old and the local African society.
