Little Monkey On Nana's Table

It's Like This All. The. Time.

Time With Sarah

This morning, besides trying to teach Sarah how to use a hoe, I spent time teaching her how to use an axe to split wood and how to light a wood fire in the water heater.

She gets interested in the things that she sees and I do my best to involve her and introduce her to how things work and why. She gets frustrated though when she is not allowed to do every part of the process, like in starting a fire or splitting wood (she can hardly hold the axe up herself).

She got interested in the hoe after seeing me use it on the fruit trees that were recently planted for Nana. There are apple, peach, apricot, and pear trees back there now that Nana wanted me to help dig holes to capture water for.

Sarah is a good worker and does some of her most useful work with Stephen, playing with him, talking to him and helping him not to cry sometimes when Mama is too busy with something else.

Sarah was spending so much time with Tio Guero and others that it was nice to spend some time with her.

Getting Clean

On Nana's Porch, Hair And Outfit By Mama

Down here, Mama just gets the little monkeys clean and they are already getting dirty and dusty again. These photos were taken with great urgency so as to capture the clean moment.

Stephen likes getting his hair done up by Mama, even if it only lasts for a couple of minutes. Maybe he just likes the head massage.
