French class and more Sam (of course)

French class today was really fun, though we've got a lot of progress to make of course. We talked about some basic public health and microfinancing issues like barriers to the success of a project, community buy-in, and then we moved on to discussing government corruption in general and here in specific. A real conversation, albeit with the vocabulary of a third-grader I'm sure :-) (if that).

Last night, Sam looked like such a big kid in his outfit so we added novelty sneakers too- they're rubbish for his feet and lasted all of five minutes, but at least they looked good.

Here's a video that John took of Sam- it's a good example of how he's moving now and also of they way he plays. As I write this he's doing the Sam thing with a set of keys and has moved about 4 feet in a straight line.
