King of the Umudugudu

For those of you wondering, umudugudu means village.  And this short post is dedicated to Muremera’s newsest resident, Milo the hyperactive kitten!  So this weekend I was in Kigali to have more jiggers removed (gross, I know but we think they’re all gone now) I swear, I’m a clean person, this was just a case of bad luck to get 2 more.  I think they were building a duplex in my toe.  Anyways, while I was in the city I was able to pick up my kitten! (courtesy of another PCV who’s cat had kittens).  His name is Milo, don’t ask my why that’s just the name that came out when I was trying to find him hiding in the bedroom.  Right now he is about 8 weeks old and in the stage of life where it is playtime. Always. Every day. Even when I want to sleep.  So, today (Sunday) we have spent the day playing, eating, playing, sleeping, playing, eating, etc.  He has quite the tough life.  I can already tell he’s going to be a little Dennis the Menace because he climbs everything. Even things you can’t climb…like the brick wall in my kitchen/storage room.  Luckily, he can’t figure out how to get up to the windows yet so those can stay open.

Here’s some pictures of the little guy who I’m sure is going to be growing like a weed over the next few weeks:

finally calmed down, lying in the sun. (this is not my house by the way!)

Enjoy, don’t have many other exciting things to really talk about.  Schools is in week 7 of the 2nd trimester.  We’re moving slow, but I’m more concerned about them understanding rather than speeding through tons of material.  It’s now the dry season, so rain has stopped…I guess we’ll see what that does to the water supply huh?  Hopefully we don’t run out…Apparently rainy season starts up again in September.  Here’s to some dry days!
