pics - kids are cute

At home my little sister Monica (5 yrs old) likes to put a ball under her shirt and pretend that she is pregnant. Yesterday I met the cutest little Ugandan girl who likes to tie a bundle of blankets on her back and pretend that she is carrying around a baby. I guess it is the Ugandan equivalent of pretending you are pregnant. I thought it was so cute that I asked the mom if I could take some pictures.

Here she is showing off her bundle/pretend baby. I love kids. I forgot to mention that I am wearing my Ugandan dress that I had made in Kumi. It is a little bright, but I got a lot of compliments on it from Ugandan women who enjoy seeing a crazy white person dressed in their style.

She was a little shy so I had trouble getting her to look at the camera. Although she was shy, she did shake my hand and wave goodbye to me when I left.

I am still not sure what I want to do for residency, but I think it will probably come down to a choice between pediatrics and family medicine. We will see what the future holds.
