Last week, in drama, we were
working on making scenery for a play about the three bears and when the girls
weren’t there, Pip drew a TV in his bear’s room. Naya came back and was like
“Hey, you can have a TV in your room?!” and Pip responded “Sure, everyone can watch
TV!” Then Naya was working on her room
and drew a TV as well. She started saying a little story to herself “We have
two tvs in our house.Even bears can watch TV, they come in and turn it on and
are like ‘Hey! This is fun!’ But they don’t watch the same things, so we need
two satellite dishes.”
Today we took the Dolphin kids
swimming and the little boys were just so adorable, I could hardly take it. Pip
can swim pretty well but he’s still pretty tiny so he wanted me close by all
the time to watch him to tricks and catch him when he cannonballed. I was
looking at him thinking of the fact that he was only 3 when I first met him and
he is growing up so fast. I wish he could stay this age forever because he says
the funniest things and is just so darn cute! Then Daniel, who can’t swim at
all, was attached to me for a large part of the day encased in his innertube
and wanting me to take him to the deep end over and over. He can be such a
troublemaker but he is so darn cute, it’s hard to stay mad at him for long.
Once, in class, I had all the
kids say something nice about the person to their right and left. When we had
gone around the circle, one of the kids asked to say something nice about
someone not next to them, and Olive said “Daniel is sooooooooo adorable!” to
which Naya replied, “yep, he’s super adorable, but he misbehaves ALL THE TIME!”
to which Daniel grinned a huge grin, toothless and all as if to say “yes, I OWN
that description.” He talks so fast all the time, sometimes I can’t understand
him. Orawan always says that he’s like my real kid because he talks so fast no
one can keep up with him. It makes me so sad because his dad really loves him,
but can’t take care of him properly because of his job hours. He wants to send
Daniel to a children’s home so he can still go to school and be taken care of
properly. All the staff think I should take him, but since they are also all
living with me at the moment, I’m not sure exactly where they think he would
stay. Not to mention all the other things wrong with that scenario.
