The past month or so Jack and Joshua have been inseparable or should I say "double trouble". Jack along with his parents and two sisters moved to Uganda from MAF Chad for three months. There was a coup in Chad last year and all the staff had to evacuate. It is now safe to go back and they plan to return to Chad on the 16th April.
Jack has been great for Joshua in many ways. For a couple of months now I have been priming Joshua that soon he won't be able to wear nappies (diapers) when he goes to bed as I can't get his size in Uganda and also due to the fact that he has been out of nappies during the day for well over a year now I thought it about time. He wasn't keen at all until I mentioned that Jack had moved onto a new phase in his life with no nappies in bed. So one night early last week I said tonight is the big night no more nappies. He said that's fine and got into bed. Simon and I were dreading the next few nights of disturbed sleep as we dealt with wet beds and a wet son. So far we haven't had one wet bed. We still can't believe it. HALLELUJAH comes to mind!!!!
Yesterday we took Joshua and Zara along with Jack and his sisters to a new park that opened up in the City. It was quite amazing and the kids loved it. As you can see they had a ball pool. It was pretty dusty and the kids looked like they had got a serious sun tan by the end as they were so muddy.
The funny thing was that this little park was like an oasis in the middle of the dusty City. Over the hedge was a building site and beyond that was the crazy roads of downtown Kampala. We had found a perfect niche in amongst all the mayhem.
