The jig is up!

We came clean on the miracle diaper rash ointment (aka the anti-fungal) today. This afternoon, the caregivers asked us if they could try some of our cream since Cameron was 100% better and many of the other kids are still suffering. So, we innocently mentioned that we tried the anti-fungal (just calling it a cream and telling them that our doctor in the US recommended it) and sure enough he was on the mend within a few days of trying it. We squirted a bunch of it into a baby food jar cap for them to use with the others. Hopefully, they'll ask us for more tomorrow and everyone can have happy pants (instead of the sad and miserable pants they have now).

Daddy made his return today as well and was greeted by a happy Cameron. He was glad to have his Dad back in action and they spent a lot of time together.

At lunch, we checked out a local art museum and photo exhibit, which was pretty cool. No pics though, they wanted to charge us 100 tenge per pic, so we opted to remember the artwork with our minds instead (or Buffy's mind at least since Brent's memory is awful!). They had both textiles and photography on display and a handful of the items were quite nice.


Yes, the kid eats that entire bowl of food - sometimes in less than 12 min.







This was the face we saw today when he decided he was full. He just wouldn't open his mouth anymore. Daddy tried all the tricks, but he was done.






A shot of the communal playpen. The kids at the other end are sitting on the potty strapped to the railings. This is the usual process after they eat - and we're guessing that Cam does this too when we're not around.

In the foreground is Julia (pronounced - Yulya) who Cam really likes being around.
