The school is going well. The older kids have been translating pen-pal letters from students in England and are working on replies. I tease Alex that he has a girlfriend because his 8 year old pen-pal drew a cute little picture of herself.
We had music day for fun day, and the kids loved the recorders, although only a handful of older boys knew how to play. Mainly they played ´My heart will go on´from Titanic, which is okay, since it wasn´t just scratchy noises.
The two loves of my life, Paloma and Sara, are sisters about 3 and 2 years of age. Paloma is crazy, and throughout my short time here Sara has become more and more like Paloma. Paloma likes to stick her tongue out and make weird noises, then run away from you. Sara generally just likes to be held. Both like to ´fly,´when a Teacher holds them in her arms like an airplane. Both girls are beginning to speak more and more. I suspected Paloma to be a little ´special,´but she´ll probably grow out of it. At the end of the day their mother, holding their baby sister Lucera in a traditional giant scarf, picks them up and brings the two cyclones of fun home. I think their mom greatly appreciates some time in peace each day.
