In this picture Zarya looks a little unsure of how she feels about being carried the Tanzanian way, but it might have had more to do with the fact she was hungry and me taking her picture instead of feeding her was a little irksome to her rumbling belly. She quite likes Rose, the woman carrying her, and always gives her giant smiles when she comes to our house. Rose is determined that Zarya will grow up speaking good Swahili and makes a point of talking to her a lot in Swahili. I'm all for that plan, as I wish someone had taught me Swahili when I was four months old, as mine might be a bit better now if that had happened.
