I knew I didn’t need to worry about food while I am here, but wow! We have eaten so good every single day! I wish I could remember every meal, but I will tell you that we usually have a good breakfast—one time it was oatmeal, one time it was biscuits and gravy, another time eggs and toast; as for lunch, it is usally large; dinner is usually lighter. I love it! Today we had chicken spaghetti and peas. I love peas! Not to mention rolls and leftover chocolate cake. Don’t worry, we are FEASTING. As for the many Clif bars we purchased…well, there isn’t a lot of time to snack when we are with the kids in the mornings and I am too full after lunch to snack, so I still have many.

This morning we were broken up into groups for different kinds of therapy. I am in a group doing language stimulation. We spent the first half of the morning singing and reading to toddlers and tried to get them to talk to us. The next group of kids were around a year old and they were all over the place. We were pretty exhausted come lunch time.

This afternoon my group went over to another building to do more language stimulation with another group of tots. Introducing them to crayons was quite the event. Many tried to eat them, but it all worked out in the end. One child in particular, Mary, stuck by my side for most of the time there. She never changes her facial expression—it is always a blank stare. I will make her smile, I will!

After this, we hopped in the jeep and headed back for quick showers and a light evening meal. Tonight we will gather together and fellowship and share stories.

Hope all is well there! Love.
