Content to employ any nearby thing as a toy, this happy
toddler spent his days chattering and playing alongside his mother. Maama was
busy with the many other women who prepared food for and cleaned up after the
seminar participants and helpers.
Usually children sit quietly while their mother works, and
look on in preparation for their own responsibilities as they grow, but this
child was energetic and chatty. I’ll admit, though, that this isn’t the first
time long beautiful eyelashes led me to presume gender incorrectly. Whoops!
Still, this Kizombo Sr. namesake was happy to share his meal with his new
dolly. Apparently she was spying his food a little too intently so he relented
and gave her a taste.
Happy birthday Beth's sister!
