We stuck around the guest house, going for a few walks, stopping at a few stores and getting Mikiyas' and Mihret's hair done. Routines are definitely setting in for my mom, Mikiyas, Mihret and I as we have been here almost a month. We see certain people regularly. Certain ones wait for us to give them our change or a birr (their $1.00 but maybe a penny to us). Others look forward to Mikiyas giving them a refreshing drink on the hot day. We've definitely become more comfortable in knowing who to give to, how to give to people discretely and when it is appropriate. We've also come to know short cuts and routes to where we like to go for certain items. Settling in nicely.
For something people pay hundreds for in Canada, it cost me 2.00 CAD each child to have their hair done. I watched close enough with both kids that I can potentially do their hair back home. Haha! Mikiyas did great during his hair-do and Mihret screamed throughout hers. It didn't hurt her and we know it wasn't that part making her cry because she had started screaming when she saw the lady coming towards her.
But they did great and both kids looked terrific. Both were happy and full of smiles when we left the salon.
