Everyone Gets A Bath

The older children get a bath every day in a bath tub. That is quite an assembly line production with one nanny bathing and the rest stripping down the children before and dressing them after they have been bathed. The process is the same for the infants on a smaller scale. Here we see Pascal in a plastic tub being scrubbed down by Betty.

Quite the production there.

[Barb Tatum]

Quite the production indeed. My back hurts just watching her bend over like that - do they have a stool she can sit on??

[vstap]

Looks like hard work! A sweet shot.

[Tunia McClure]

That bending over would kill me.

[Maggiemae]

I'm with Tunia @tunia ! Couldn't they put that bath on a table? What a sweet picture and dear little Pascal is so lucky someone is looking after him!

[Gillian]

Lovely candid capture. I hope you're enjoying your time in Africa and that it isn't too hot for you!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Oh, isn't that so sweet! What lovely care they are getting- a blessing to be sure.

[Claire]

Agree with the sweet theme, so cute but looks back breaking

[Leana Niemand]

Oh her back must be taking strain, I would have put that tub on the table LOL You keeping rather busy I see. Enjoy!

[summerfield]

oh, my aching back!!!! watching a baby being bathed is kinda sweet.

[Diane]

Oh, so sweet! But I agree with Leana--her back must be tired after bathing all those babies. What wonderful work these people--and you and your family--are doing.

[Chris Johnson]

Aww, so little and cute but also looks like a lot of work!

@bill_fe @barbtatum @vstap @tunia @maggiemae @claireuk @olivetreeann @kwiksilver @leananiemand @summerfield @eudora @cjphoto I have never heard these nannies complain about the work but then I don't speak Swahili either except for a few words! I have to think if it bothered them they would do it a different way! Thanks for taking the time to view and comment on my African trip.

This is a wonderful and caring photo and makes my back hurt too. What we take advantage of living the lives we live here in the states. FAV

[katy]

@darsphotos I definitely have a greater appreciation for the luxuries of my life! Thanks!

[Darlene]
