Today makes six days of vomiting now for Zach. He was able to eat something for the first time finally this morning, only to begin vomiting again this afternoon. Tomorrow might mean the little guy gets an IV to stay hydrated. What a tough week for this brave boy.
There are now five hammocks in the Sala, which the kids love so much that some mornings they run out there first thing.
They use the hammocks as swings too and can really get swinging high.
Zach's hammock is close to the rail, so he can reach out with his arm to give himself a push.
Zach does a pretty good job of lounging in a hammock.
This is the view from the Sala. A great view to sit in a hammock and look at, have devotions in, or just enjoy with the family.
Lunch today was for eight kids, plus two more who arrived after I was this far along in my assembly line. What a riot and thank goodness for fast food. It just might be though, that our kids are finally over their shy hurdle in playing with kids in our village, which is a small miracle really. This step out of the shy circle has also means that we are starting to see our kids are move along with their language. They're still not great, but they're working hard to communicate, which is fun to watch. Yesterday, Eva was looking for her purple shoes and wanted to ask her friends if they'd seen them, only she couldn't remember the word for purple. She told me that she asked her friend wearing a purple shirt what color her shirt was, then she asked if anyone had seen her purple shoes. She didn't ask me, which means she's gaining confidence, which has been happening all over the place this summer. Thanks to all who remember our kids and think of their challenges with learning a new language, having good friends, and loving the place they live. They are thriving in all three!
