Amo means "uncle" in Arabic. And Bader is the name of the Egyptian who works as the maintenance person in our building. Bader knows no English and we barely get by when speaking to him but he helps us with ensuring that we have timely refills of deisel so that we have heat and hot water in the apartment and also does odd jobs like taking out the trash, cleaning the garden and putting in light bulbs. Maya has really taken to Bader. She does this snorting sound when she sees him because he showed her how to do it. He swings her by the legs (as seen in the picture) and plays peek-a-boo with her all the time. The have loads of fun together. Sadly, he is leaving the building next week for another job. Maya will miss him alot.
