Today we were able to visit the orphanage again. We were there on Monday also. When we pulled up BJ said "we at da baby house" I guess it must feel strange to him to have a houseful of babies. He aught to look around a little.
The kids were well.
Today we played with bubbles, some sat enthralled, some were not too sure what to think of it.
We also brought Tally, she was a pretty sure no go. The lady who runs the orphanage said it was the first time they have seen a puppy. A few kids warmed up by the end, but 2 or 3 of them were just not having her.
We read books and sang. I get a lot of blank stares when we sing and read books. I really need to learn Creole, but the lady who runs it says English is a good thing as they are all going home, hopefully sooner than later, with their English speaking families. We have had the opportunity to connect with some of these families and that has been nice. I hope to be able to capture some pictures of everyday moments to share with them.

Glad to see the family gets to get out to the "baby house". They probably appreciate the fun with the kids and a puppy too.

Thanks for these, Whitney... so fun to see your kids interacting with ours :) And I think it is a great thing that Tally came with you as many families probably have pets at home (we do). They look very solemn today - usually they go crazy with the bubbles!
ReplyDeleteOh my little finger sucker! I sure wish they'd let that girl have a paci...oh well. Thanks for the beautiful gifts of pictures and for loving on all of them! Tell your kids thank you too! : )
