Stranger Anxiety & Pressed Nappies

We have gone out to eat again. This time to a French-Swiss restaurant called (and run by) Rudy’s. Rudy came up to greet us and Lexi – and she screamed her head off! She doesn’t react that way to the wait staff who are all black. As this is the second time she has screamed at seeing a white person, we think maybe she is scared of white faces. She is definitely going through some sort of stranger anxiety phase.

I think Lexi is one of the best pressed babies around. Jane (our house help – see Stephen’s recent post) thinks all laundry should be ironed. I don’t really need my underwear to be ironed, but it’s being done anyway. She also irons Lexi’s cloth diapers, onesies and little oufits. I doubt any of Lexi’s cousins in the US wearing cloth diapers have them pressed so neatly!

Best Pressed! Now there is a distinction. When we were in Slovakia the students told me that they ironed underwear too. Interesting how attitudes change.
