While Peace was in San Diego, she had her very first bath. I had just assumed that Peace would have taken many baths in her life considering she is 6 years old. But again, life for a 6 year old Malawian couldn't be more different than an American 6 year old. In Malawi Peace takes a sponge bath using a bucket. In America, she had been taking showers, as her Mama viewed filling up the bathtub as a tremendous waste of water. Peace had been suffering from growing pains while she was here and I thought a bath would help her aches and pains. I never thought for a moment that it would be her first. It wasn't her last :) Peace really had a great time!
Side Note: In a span of two months in America, Peace gained 13 pounds, went up two shoe sizes and two dress sizes. Explains the growing pains!

Wow I cant believe how much peace has grown in a short time. I guess Malawi people would be huge with the right amount of nutrition. I really like your blog.
