ohhhh monday
the kids feel it and the workers do too. a couple kids just couldn't get it together - they were off and cranky all day. it's hard when you can't do anything for them after you've fed, changed, and rocked them. oh well.

less teaching is happening than i thought. it's ok - i know the kids need to be held too. sometimes i feel like i'm not being as effective as i could. i don't think i'll be at the big house for all ten months...there are some kids down below in the preschool who don't get any school that i would like to work with. the boys, too, outside of school could always use some educational play :)

school starts a week from today. we got approved to be a conafe school. no one is really quite sure what that entails, but two of our staff have been in training for two weeks and will be the teachers here at casa gabriel. not all of the kids who need school will be part of this conafe thing, so i might slip in there and work with the kids who aren't getting school but should be. who knows!

rocio has her first boxing fight on saturday. paco, eliseo and i are going to go. i'm nervous...i think i'm going to be scared of rocio hahaha

a dental team is coming tomorrow to give all the kids a cleaning and whatever else they need. should be fun!
