Tias are Clara and Jenny. Some routine but we’re getting
faster. One child after the next. It’s like an assembly line. I did an activity
today which was making pizzas. After we helped the children make them, we taped
them to their wheelchairs. They looked so cute! I taped big Bryan’s to his bib,
Maria Jose’s to her pillow, Roman’s to his belt, and the rest on their
wheelchairs. So fun! This morning Nancy was teaching me La Cucaracha. She would
laugh every time I messed up. She always says, “Holy Cow! What de Heck! It’s so
cute!” It’s so funny! She learned them all from volunteers! Laura and I were
going back and forth making sounds to another. It’s so cute when she says,
“WOW!” Laura is motherly. She likes to care for her baby and make sure everyone
is okay. She wanted to take little Bryan for a walk yesterday. She held him as
I pushed her wheelchair. It’s great to see her care for others. All the
children in Casa E are great. I love all of them! It is fun to see their quirks
now that I’ve been here a week.
Afternoon Shift – Casa Milagros
Nothing too exciting happened. I hung out with Sinai (his
nickname is Sinacho) and then did lots of walks for everyone. Laura was being
cute with big Bryan. She was whispering to him and he would smile his big
smile. She was telling him I was loco but she says it “coco”. He would laugh
and smile. They were buddies this afternoon. Martin Chavez wanted to make
friendship bracelets but Mekai and I couldn’t make out what he was saying. He
gets so frustrated when we don’t understand him. Finally, Cara came and figured
out how to make it for him. Roman was stubborn eating his soup for dinner. You
can’t even force feed the kid. He’s so stubborn and takes forever! Dinner for
me was eggs and toast. I don’t even know what to make. They’re food is much
different than back home so it’s hard to tell what the ingredients are. We
cleaned house and then I talked to Steph and Zach. Tomorrow is day off, yay!!
