Baby Shower


Yes, the above is actually a game, done for fun! Various concoctions of food is mixed and then smeared into a diaper...can you tell what it is? I couldn't get close enough to the diaper...too many years of changing the real thing!

We spent January 17th in Managua celebrating the imminent arrival of the Classen-Thrush baby with a grand baby shower. The arrival of the baby will mark the end of our solo reign as the ONLY family on the MCC Nicaraguan team. Now we will have other parents to laugh, compete and yes, commiserate with. Many of the attendees were neighbors of the couple, Alan and Beth, who live in Managua.

We enjoyed many riotous games, several of which I videotaped and will hopefully have posted in the near future. One game consisted of 2 women racing to put cloth diapers on 2 gigantic boys (aka men). Another game involved two women bottle-feeding their baby man, bottles filled with Coke. Drinking from a bottle is harder than it looks!


Our SALTer Matthew tries to feed his "baby" a jar of baby food, while blindfolded. They won!


The race to finish the bottle of coke...Beth gets some practice by feeding her husband, Alan
