Mr. Manners

Posted on by

There are times when Radi has impressive table manners.

Notice how he gracefully picks up one small morsel of food at a time.

What a gentleman!

Teddy and Me

Posted on by

Do you have a teddy bear or did you have one as a child?

I bet you didn’t have to make the teddy yourself.

Our friend, Radi, crafted himself a teddy out of sticks.

He carried it everywhere he went.

It didn’t look like the typical teddy; however, it appeared to have a similar therapeutic value.

Baby Name

Posted on by

It’s interesting to hear some of the names people choose for their babies.

Some pick names to honor ancestors.

Others pick a name that is trendy or simply sounds good to them.

The name for this baby is Masika (muh-SEEK-uh).

In Swahili, her name means “born in the rainy season.”

Drama Queen

Radi is quite the drama queen.

I’m not much of a drama queen myself though I do have a few friends and family members who fit that description.

I wonder if they realize it.

Recently, I heard that some people have blind spots and are unaware of how they appear to others.

In Radi’s case, I doubt that it’s a blind spot.

He seems to behave this way on purpose to get attention.

Happy Meal

Posted on by

This is Radi’s version of a happy meal.

From your perspective, what makes a meal happy? Is it:

  • How good it tastes? 
  • Who is there to enjoy it with you?
  • How comfortable the setting is?
