So women here have a lot of babies and a lot of work. To do both, they strap babies on their backs. They literally take a big piece of cloth, bend over, and put the baby on their back. They secure the baby by tying a big knot at the top across their chest, gather the rest of the cloth under the baby’s butt and tie a knot across their stomach. I think it’s very smart and efficient.
Anyway, I’m in village, in my compound for lunch and one of my host sisters (who cant be more than 4-5 years old), takes a little toy bear, bends over and her sister (who’s 6-7yrs old) ties the bear to the other sister’s back.
Seriously, the cutest thing I’ve seen!!!!
