When Moses spent 24 hours with me, he had definate ideas about what he wanted to eat, where he wanted to go and what he wanted to do. Some of the things he had heard about from his siblings I'm sure, but he could add his own touches just the same. He didn't have sneakers so we had to nix the horseback riding, but he didn't seem too upset.
At 5 pm he was ready to leave home and come help fix macaroni-and-cheese-with-corn-from-scratch, with pan fried sausages as an extra. After dinner, it was time for the first movie – Cat In the Hat. When he finally went to bed he was asleep pretty quickly, having played with his siblings all day.
At 7 he was up and ready to flip the french toast we had for breakfast. He could hardly wait to get going. First we went by boda to Speke Resort, the pool he insisted on going to. He was convinced there would be other children there to swim with, as that is where his school class went swimming this last term. When we arrived, it was overcast, not a soul in sight and he was still eager. He jumped right in!!
After a bit of showing off his different strokes, he was ready to dive for coins. He got to keep the ones he found to spend later. After an hour or so, he was finished and ready to.
We caught a taxi/matatu and came back to Kansanga, debarking at Didi's World, the adventure ride land that was tops on his list. Unfortunately, the place isn't open until the following Friday. We walked along, discussing what we could do next. He opted first to buy some gum with his coins, then suggested going to Wacky Wood House, a restaurant/kids playground. We took a different boda there. Moses rode the zip line, the small “cars” and used all of the play equipment one way or another.
