We got ready for the day and then headed to our medium boys house while Alina went to the toddler house. We all met in the Comedor for breakfast. After breakfast, I went to the room to finish writing the retake exam that Luis David and Carlitos would be taking on Wednesday. Profe Ramon had also asked me to write a review for the test to work on with them over the next 2 days. When they were both written, I took the test to Profe Ramon so that he could make photo copies of it to give to the boys on Wednesday and then I went to the special needs yard where I spent the morning with Suly and Bob. I chatted with Suly a lot about her upcoming wedding. She met a guy in the States and they were working through all of the paperwork, and hoping to be married by the end of the year.
Suly, Bob and I took all the children in the special needs yard out on a walk, through the farm and around the back of the orphanage so that they could get out of the yard for a little bit. Wilson chose to walk with me as well as Jorge from the power toddlers house. Wilson has really come around since being in the toddler house years ago. He seems more calm and less naughty (haha). He offered to carry my water bottle so that I had 2 hands available to hold hands with him and Jorge. It was nice to walk with them both!
Before we knew it, it was time for lunch. Alina met us in the Comedor and then we all headed back to our room together. Since Alina has off for the 2 hours after lunch, she took a nap. Bob took a nap as well. Around 2pm, I headed to the medium boys house and just as I was arriving it rained hard...there was thunder (so assuming there was lightning) and it just poured. I'm glad I got there when I did, because I had books in my drawstring backpack that I didn't want to get wet.
We walked to the Comedor together for supper and then I brought Suyapa, Coco and Cristofer their birthday gifts (tres leches cake, paletas and a gourmet candy cane). I talked yesterday about Honduran birthdays...Cristofer got quite a few eggs on the head today as well as a cake mashed into his face. I think he knew as I approached him that I wasn't planning on doing any of that, so we were all good!
