I had heard that big sister Nneka had been running away with baby sister Charlie, with mom Ngozi or one of the other females chasing her.
On this day Nneka went up behind Ngozi and snatched Charlie off her back. She went around and around that fake tree base in the background, making a game of it while Ngozi and Johari chased her until they cornered her. Nneka was always careful of Charlie.

Nneka is getting lots of good experience in with Charlie around. Hopefully it will make her as good a mom as her own when her first arrives.
