The Sudan Sling

In the states, some people use slings to carry around little babies. In Sudan, they use goat skins. It's the latest fashion... all the cool moms have one! Elizabeth brings baby Joshua to work with her. Sometimes, she hangs him on a rope in the middle of the kitchen. To help her out, we brought over a cradle from the clinic that is not in use. Today I laughed when I saw her using the cradle to hang Joshua in the goat skin. I wanted to ask, why not just put him in the cradle, but I figured mom knows best and left him alone.
