This is Mita, Ibu Nina’s daughter, having her head shaved by the neighbour lady. This is a custom here when a child is around 5 months old or so, they shave all the hair off. They do this because this hair is hair that was inside the mothers womb and so is considered dirty. Poor kid was not at all happy about the whole thing. Things did go a little better after I gave them a new razor that wasn’t dull. Yikes… the things they do here…
Couldn’t resist posting this picture of Brynnie with all her curls. They are just soooo cute…

Ever sooooooo cute a picture of our dear Brynnie.What lovely hair she has.Wish I had that kind of natural curl.Yes,indeed,they sure believe and do strange things.Little children are just ingrained with that religion.I agree that Western influence is not always for the best.Here all things are well with family.Everyone is bizzy dizzy!!!!!!Hope this finds you all in good health and spirits.
With lots of love
