- saw the famous Penny, the mean Great Dane dog who lives at the Main House... luckily it was from afar.
- saw a little girl get picked up by her adoptive parents.
- got a high five from Matthew!!! (although I still can't pick him up without him screaming)
- gave a knitting lesson to some of the Haitian Nannys... that could be an entire blog so I'll leave it for another day.
- ate a fresh pineapple from Haiti.... amazing!
- was bit by a child :(
- yelled at a child... not the child who bit me tho :)
Today will be the first time I'll get to go on the "Feeding". There is a group called The Brothers who have a school & orphanage down the lane & they take a large truck of food to small villages twice a week to feed people. Usually they go down the mountain, which is not safe for us blancs, but today they're going up the mountain so I get to go!! I'm really excited. I'm going by myself but I've been told it is safe. I've been looking forward to this since I got here. I'll post some pictures of it later.
Matthew being Matthew... even a sucker won't make him like me. Any ideas??
Sadrack playing w/ Taylor's truck, which was a HUGE hit with all the kids. I keep it in my room & bring it out when I work w/ the toddlers individually. Thanks Taylor!

Hey Reb,
Why don't you try brining the Tickle monster out on Matthew... That might work on the little guy. Or if you pick him up try to do a flying plane with him he might like that and actually find it funny...... could work hahahahaha
Good Luck with that one :)
