So I have finally figured it out here. The weeks go by short but the days go by long. It is very hot and humid here so that does not really help. Also, the mosquitos are awful. But I am finally back to normal so that is good! We started the day with the usual... eating breakfast with the kids and then walking them to the bus stop. Then we went to the daycare/preschool and I did circle time with them. I also helped them learn a little bit and played with them. Like I said before, they are very behind in a lot of aspects. After that we had lunch and researched more cool places in Belize. I made sure to stay drinking water because hydration is the most important thing about being in a different climate. Then I went to help out the cook in the kitchen and I got to meet a young girl who lives in the orphanage and she has cerebral palsy. Again, it made me appreciate everything. I helped out the cook by taking out some food and putting it in storage. Then I went back to the daycare and played with the children some more.
After that, it was a little bit before the kids got back from school so we played with a young girl who has to miss school because of chicken pox. She said she was bored so we kept her company and played with her. Then the kids got home and we played an intense basketball game and just enjoyed the children's company. I really am enjoying spending time with these kids and I know that when it is time to leave it will be really hard. After we played basketball we talked a bunch of girls and had girl talk. We did that for a really long time and before I knew it, it was time for dinner. We helped set up dinner and ate with the kids. After that it was time for the kids to sleep so we went up and logged and blogged. Overall, today was a very good day!!! :)
