fussy baby in a foreign land

so what do you do with a fussy baby who won't sleep? wear him out, literally! daddy was in a village and it was just me and mommy so mommy took her list and we went to the supermarket (not the market with live animals). we do have a couple air-conditioned supermarkets. they are normally really crowded, like people are playing bumper cars off you so it's not the place for a fussy baby, but we have this new one that we think few people have discovered. so, we went to it- and it was God's amazing gift to us this fussy day because we only saw maybe 5 people in this store, the store people left us alone (usually we are celebrity like folk which doesn't help with a fussy baby either) and yes, it was air-conditioned and they had shopping carts, which jo loved!!! (and Mom got a break from wearing me) As you see in the cell phone pic above- i mean you don't take your camera out with a fussy baby either! Coming home was a bit of a physical test for Mom- being in a store for an hour you have to buy stuff so Mom had me in front, a pack on back and two bags walking up our big big hill home. Mom didn't know she'd have to train for the military to have a kid in a foreign land. This is us at our final destination...and soon Jo happily took a nap! This is our new fussy baby remedy!

Also, please be so thankful for all the resources you have at home- like a close friend or family member, a car to drive your fussy baby in, a drive way that is not over 1/4 mile long up hill. At the same time we are praising God for creativity!
