Cultural Day

Maelyn's school had a Cultural Day and her class was assigned a different state in Nigeria. She was nominated to be the Queen for her class. So she got to dress like an African Queen from Edo State. This was her first time being in something like this and I don't think she really knew what to do. She didn't smile very much but she did what she was told.


This is the King and Queen of her class with all of her classmates behind.


They asked us if we could have her hair done in a certain style so she would match what the style is from Edo state so she enjoyed having her hair braided with beads put in.

She wanted to hold her brother for a picture but she still wouldnt smile.

After the parade outside they did a performance on stage and her classmates danced for her.

I can't believe another month has flown by. We have just been hanging out at home getting used to life here. I did have my turn for Malaria and I wish I knew I would never get it again but thats not really possible until we move out of Africa. Monson has his two bottom teeth now and he is rolling over. His latest thing is blowing bubbles with his saliva.
