a routine? no, no, it can't be possible. :)
today was the first day i felt organized. maybe it's because my room is finally clean. who knows. i worked with gabby, eymi, jaime, and the sisters this morning, doing pt/ot and reading with them. eli and sonja love to color, so when all the kids went outside before lunch we colored. they are so much fun. they just laugh all the time...they make me feel special!
we have an exercise ball here that a lot of the kids really like to be on. it's great for them to stretch anyway that's different from their wheelchair or bed, so i put them on their stomachs and move them around while i sing arriba, abajo, adentro, afuerta, siempre soy feliz. (up, down, inside, outside, happy all time). whenever they're out of their chairs, i'm happy, and when they're moving and bouncing all around on a big exercise ball, they're happy too!
in the afternoon i worked with the sisters again and darell, an adorable little baby who's almost 1, and then thelma and i played catch for awhile.
after dinner i hung out with the boys, which is always fun. they love to ride their hand bike, so i take them out in front of the house and we have races, and go through mud, and almost crash into things....they love it!
had some more good conversation with the ladies today...i hope that happens more and more. i may be going to the movies with adriana, kerli, david, and dalia tomorrow. woo hoo!

    I shared some of your story with the girls on Sunday. When you said "she is a book" and understood that they understood english. I will send you the text. I love you and it is great to read your updates. Dad
