When we stepped off the airplane in Chad a few weeks ago and into a bus that drove us up to the airport, I was pointing out to Isaac that a lot of men here wear a different kind of hat. Trying to make it exciting for him and hoping all the new and different things wouldn’t scare him, I pointed out the different designs and patterns that some of the hats had. He asked me if it was like a train conductor’s hat. I never thought of it like that, but you know what? It does look like a conductor’s hat!
Two days ago on our walk through a nearby neighborhood, Isaac noticed a mosque for the first time. He saw the tall part where the minaret is and he said with much excitement, “Look, I spy a lighthouse!”
Sometimes we need the eyes of a 3 year old to keep life entertaining!
