Here in Algiers, if it's raining and 50 degrees outside, you are expected to wear a snow jacket and bundle up. Rosalie comes walking out of school looking like something from "A Christmas Story". Once, I walked out of our car at preschool drop off with J in his long Jammie's and a woman lectured me in French about how he should be wearing a jacket. So, I gave into the Algerian norms, and now my son falls asleep from being so warm in his car seat every morning. Our Embassy drivers feel so accomplished when he falls asleep too...me on the other hand is thinking how he is taking his morning nap in the car, and mommy won't be able to enjoy her two hour coffee break. Owell...this too shall pass. #lookatthisface #jedediahwilliam #Algeria #algiers #mylittlealgerian (at Algiers, Algeria)
