This morning when I went to breakfast with Jaden, we noticed that Chino was not there. Every other Thursday is his day off but time is passing by so quickly for us down here that we simply could not believe that it had been 2 weeks since his last day off. Without Chino, this means Jaden has to check in with Alexander first and then most likely work with Andy.
Eva asked me to take Mateo to the clinic to see LaShawn because he was having an asthma attack, so I headed there with the little guy and was there for a while in order to get his breathing under control and then brought back a bunch of medications for Eva to give to some of the other children in the Chosa.
Jaden spent the day watering plants at the Greenhouse and the Horse Barn. He groomed Joshua (a horse), swept the Horse Barn, fed the pigs, reswept the Horse Barn, let the horses out, and finally at the end of the day got to have a water balloon fight with the big boys.
When Kaylyn and I headed back to the Toddler House around 3pm (when the Toddlers wake up from their naps), we were sitting on a step and all of a sudden she said "OUCH!!!" really loud. Then she showed me her arm. She had a stinger sticking out of it. Yep, she got stung by a bee and this was the first time ever in her life for her. Because it would have taken me longer to get my glasses out to see it to pull it out, I asked one of the bigger girls nearby to pull the stinger out. Apparently as soon as she was stung, the bee started making circles (preparing to die) but Brithany decided to stomp it to death immediately. Tears started forming and falling from Kaylyn's eyes, so I told her to head back to the room, clean it with our alcohol disinfectant wipes, put some triple antibiotic on it and then a bandaid. I let her know that it was going to be sore for a few days.
So I got to walk the toddlers to the Comedor alone, well with the girls who are in charge of the Toddler House that weren't in school. And then I headed back to our room to check on Kaylyn. We didn't eat in the Comedor because today was the last evening that staff would have a dinner with the visiting team until the next team comes in September. They served noodles made up in a Hamburger Helper fashion, a salad, fruit, banana bread (it was more like a cake), and toast. We had a good time with the team from Clearwater, FL. They will be heading back to the States tomorrow.
Special Note: I found out today that I have been spelling Brithany's name wrong all this time (saw her records in the office), so from here on out, I will make sure to get it right.
