Working hard at making Saturday a fun day to spend with Caleb. We do lots of fun things in the course of a week but often there are other adults involved who want my attention and Caleb is kind of hanging on the perimeter, but Saturdays are different! It has helped that we have made friends with other families with kids who are the same age. This last Saturday we spent with a family who is here just for the year. The mom is studying at the American University and her husband and 6 year old have joined her for the year long adventure. They are anxious to get out and see not just the usual tourist things but Egypt at its truest level. Saturday was spent in the one and only park in Cairo, it is a beautiful, green haven in the midst of concrete. The boys took their scooters and had a blast. We enjoyed a picnic on soft green grass and only minimal staring. Some places I go I am like an animal in a zoo, constantly being stared at and talked to. Its not the worst thing in the world but grows wearisome year after year. Anyhow this was a great day.
