Baby Jewelry

The most important jewelry for a Surinamese baby is the "ograi krara"
Ograi means: bad eye,so the ograi krara is a to prevent a baby to be
avected by a "bad eye".A baby can get a bad eye when someone stares at
a baby with jeaulousy like :'why isn't my child like this",or
"Why couldn't my be as beautiful as this one? "or something like that.

According to our tradition the "ograi krara" protects against these
jealous eyes that could make your baby sick.This is my babies ograi
krara,she will wear it when we go out.A gold pin with consists of
three little black beads.There are many variations to the gold pin.
One bigger black bead on a gold pin is more common.

Christmas and Family

My baby is scheduled to arrive after Christmas,but the way I feel,I think she
could be a Christmas present for us. We'll just have to wait!

Just a day after Christmas my family will arrive here at Virgin Gorda,to be with me when I have my baby.I am very excited to have my baby,and I am so glad that my family will be here also. My mom is the manager of a preschool and daycare center
and last friday the 23th they had their Chrismas celebration. She send me some pictures,wich I enjoyed because I know most of the kids since they were babies.
Yes kids grow fast..........
