The tia is Teri. She is strict but nice. Breakfast was done and half the children were changed. Bryan and Dayana needed to be changed still. Manuel, Cristian, and Jhon were getting ready for church. I helped Teri with Cecilia. 8:30am we go to an LDS church with some of the children; Manuel, Cristian, Jhon, Laura, Nancy, Christian, and Martin Chavez goes with the Bishop’s family. We only stay for sacrament. Jhon sat on my lap and I showed him the hand game that my dad did to me during church. Afterwards, we went back to OSSO and got the children out of their church clothes. Gwena had an activity so we stayed inside for that. The children made cute glasses out of pipe cleaners. We had a mirror so the children could see themselves. Jhon loved that! He loved the mirror and looking at himself. The children had lunch and just played amongst themselves. We got done at 11:45am which was a record! Teri kicks butt at getting things done!
Afternoon Shift – Cunas at Tadeo Torres
Cunas is next door at Tadeo Torres. We take 6 toddlers to La
Sala which is the play room for the afternoon. Toddlers are Andy, Pedro, Ishmael,
Wilson, Abigail, Neythan, and Khaytting. Neythan and Khaytting are siblings. We
played with blocks, books, put them in jumpers, and watched Teletubbies in
Spanish. Wilson loves watching Teletubbies! At 5pm we take them to the kitchen
to feed them, a big bowl of soup with rice and chicken. Pedro kept choking because
the chicken pieces were so big and there was so much to eat. No matter what the
age, everyone gets the same size servings and it’s all served with an adult
table spoon. No baby spoons here! After eating soup and their drink, we get
them ready for bed; brush teeth, change diapers, put on pajamas, and put them
into bed. Cunas uses bug nets over their beds. The tias here put so much
clothing on these little ones, it is insane! Diapers (some wear 2),
tights/stockings, onesie (they call them bodies), shirt, footed pajamas, and a
sweater. I’d be sweating!! We got done early at Cunas so we went to Casas to
help them. Casas is another house at Tadeo. They have young children, 4 years
old and older. Casas is crazy! There are so many children with little supervision.
We attempted to help brush teeth and put on pajamas but it was too crazy. Once
it turned 6pm we were out of there! Katie made us dinner, some sort of chili
stew with homemade rolls. It was delish! Tomorrow I work morning shift and then
have the afternoon shift off. I think we’re going to the zoo! Here’s to having
a shift off!
