Spencer and I didn’t want to miss out, so I grabbed the camera and Spencer had to be right in the bubble mess with all the kids. It was really funny because he’s obviously quite a bit taller than them and it was great to see their reaction when he would grab all the bubbles before they got down to the kids. He’s such a tease! I couldn’t help but laugh at him!
After teasing the children, Spencer made up for it by helping a few of the smallest get their fair share of bubble popping.
I LOVE the beautiful smiles on their faces – it makes my heart melt.
This is Marta, one of our students in the first Presby class. I tried really hard not to play favorites as a teacher, but with this gorgeous smile and face I couldn’t really help it :)
This collection of children consists of most of my personal favorites here in the village. Love them!
The kid in the front, whose face is rather blurry, is probably Spencer’s favorite. His name is George. Whenever he sees Spencer he is always the first to call out his name and in his cute little squeaky voice Spencer can recognize who it is before even seeing who’s calling his name.
The two main girls in these pictures are both named Maybelle and they are twins. That’s how they name their twins here – Maybelle Penny and Maybelle Kakra. Kinda threw me off at first, but it’s been fun to get to know them. On our first day here the two of them stood in Joey and Emily’s window and said, “We want to take you as our friend.” We still laugh about that line. But it worked – they were the first kids here that we remembered by face AND name, although getting which one is Penny and which one is Kakra still escapes me, Emily and Spencer know which is which. Luckily all I have to say is “Maybelle” and they answer!
After all this, Spencer and I stayed outside to play with them, but as usual, people thought we were being bothered by the kids and they got shooed away, so back to work for Spencer it was :( … but at least we got to have a little fun!
